A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Turning Point USA leader Charlie Kirk, who was temporarily suspended by Twitter in March for violating its hateful conduct rules, triumphantly announced on Thursday that he was “back” on Twitter “Due to New Management” several days after Tesla CEO/”free speech” messiah Elon Musk made a $44 billion deal to buy the social media giant.
The Commie yachts won’t sell. What proper billionaire would buy a used yacht? Nope. Give some of them to the military.

And certainly, save one for the GOP’s snort and pork parties. I’m pretty sure Cawthorn and Gaetz would be grateful.
He’s actually inciting violence. This couldn’t happen any where else except Russia, China, N Korea, Myanmar…. Ok a lot of places but all of them fascist or in other ways dicks.
And that may be exactly why he’s not going for $50,000 and staying with his campaign promise of $10,000. Especially since it isn’t 100% clear he has the authority to do that.
Millennials and and Gen Zers aren’t interested in the politics. They are crushed under student debt and the pandemic has wiped out hope for many of them. We need them at the polls but they won’t show up if they don’t think we’re delivering for them.

What about the black helicopters, FEMA trailers, and Jade Helm 15 or whatever?
We used to think they were just afraid of black guys (particularly in the Whitehouse), now they’re afraid of white guys who aren’t afraid of black guys.
