A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

First. When I am scrolling through news aggregator sites like Yahoo and see “Dems Worry…” articles, I scroll right past them.
Thanks for not leading off with the Chinese Balloon or SOTU.
Has there been something in TPM about the vote to change the primary calendar that I missed?

Wonder if Trump is having a campaign rally the night of the SOTU? He’s not above doing it.

A reminder (Pence is on record that the balloon matter never happened on Trump’s watch.):

Perhaps we can replace “Democrats worry,” with “Republicans whine.”

Haven’t seen it…
Maybe we don’t like advertising stripping democrats of delegates because they have a Republican governor?

Until that balloon bubbled up the media had to go out and find news to report. Scary.
