A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Far-right Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) refused over the weekend to walk back his attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as a “thug,” the Asheville Citizen-Times reported.
Hmm, have to wonder which G-d the Patriarch is following - sounds more like the Old Testament G-d than the New Testament G-d. Certainly not Jesus, unless of course you count the event at the Temple where Jesus overturned the moneychangers’ tables.
It’s totally arbitrary unless the goal is to make KBJ look like the most qualified nominee ever. Where are “Solicitor General,” “Law Professor,” “BigLaw Partner,” and “Drunken Attempted Rapist”?
OMG Todays new Buzz wordBiden says the quiet part out loud - American Thinker
. And now’s the time when things are shifting. We’re going, there’s gonna be a new world order out there and we’ve got to lead it and we’ve got to unite the rest of the free world and doing it.”
OT and interesting. If TFG-level lawyers are calling you incompetent…hahaha
The One Trump Lawyer the Rest of Trump’s Legal Team Loathes
Alina Habba has developed quite the reputation.

Facing high-stakes investigations that could cripple his business empire or even mean jail time for him and close associates, former President Donald Trump and his family’s armada of lawyers are facing a threat from within.
Her name is Alina Habba, and—almost out of nowhere—the relatively unknown New Jersey lawyer went from representing a college student ticked off at COVID-19 virtual learning to being one of the top attorneys defending the twice-impeached former president in some of the country’s most high-profile cases.
There’s just one problem for Habba: There’s hardly anyone in the Trump legal universe who can stand her.
Many of Habba’s fellow senior Trumpland attorneys—including but not limited to Alan Garten—have all privately vented that she has botched things or doesn’t know what she’s doing, according to Trumpworld legal sources intimately familiar with the topic. Some of them want her fired or sidelined.
Some of the Trump lawyers think her work is so bad—so self-interested, pointlessly aggressive, and sloppy—that they think Habba’s mere presence on the team increases the likelihood of Trump and his family facing court losses and legal peril.
This reporting is based on interviews with four current and former Trump lawyers, as well as three other sources familiar with the situation at the Trump Organization and in the Trump family orbit.
“‘What the fuck is she doing?’ is probably the most common question we asked about her,” one of these lawyers, who still works in the Trump inner sanctum, remarked last week.
As far as I can see they just generally blow. One observer said it was like when a fine old house is sold by heirs of the family and ends up being divided into apartments and rented out to college kids.
A Russian Orthodox Patriarch and an FSB agent walk into a bar. He ordered a whisky.
Stalin didn’t destroy the Russian Orthodox Church. He just took it.
It is, afterall, the perfect organization for surveillance and manipulation.
Church and State are united in Russia like what the fundie fanatics want in the US.
Her client is Trump, so it’s not like she’s got any actual defenses to work with. Going full MAGA and hoping to luck into judges who will play along isn’t the worst strategy in the world (though it’s close to the worst).
