A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
A day after making sweeping amendments to his past FEC reports and further muddying the waters on the origins of the funds he used to make personal loans to his congressional campaign, Rep. George Santos (R-NY) dodged reporters’ questions with this word salad:

The faster he dances the faster he falls.
Fred Armisen would be perfect for “Santos, the Movie”.
Coming soon to Netflix: “Inventing George. Or possibly Anthony”
Anna Delvey, the fake heiress, did the right thing in trying to pay back her victims with her Netflix biopic money.
Santos has a bigger bill apparently, so he’ll need a bigger payday. In any case, restitution would be a good step in restoring his image. My question is whether Santos as a person is that interesting? He seems a bit of a couch potato.
So, how much is Anna Delvey worth now?
Probably not much. After paying back her victims and legal fees, Anna is maybe left with $22,000. It’s unclear what the terms of her deal with Netflix are, but it’s possible she could make more money off of her infamy in the future.
“We Are Devolder”
Defense lawyer: When did your current devotion to God start?
Proud Boy cooperating witness: When I was sitting in a van with the FBI on my way to jail.
Apropos of nothing including the above, David Kurtz, you’re on fire today.
Multiple recounts, court filings, and recriminations will postpone the final results until sometime in July.
While I would not want him to represent me, he is (a) fabulist.
Not too bad
Working title: “Not A Santos Nor A Devolder Be”
I think the translation would be lost on some people.
I’ve called out to god a million times since I was a teen, and I’m an atheist.
Not sure how that works.
We’ve been told repeatedly that that the only way Santos vacates office is to resign, and he ain’t doing that.
I’m betting that another couple months of relentless hounding by the DC press pack will make Anthony seriously think about his life choices.
Dude, if you’re constantly lashing out at the press because they hurt your fee-fees while running from them, you’re losing.
I love this latest Santos scandal. The new treasurer listed on the new FEC report told Santos that he did not want to be his treasurer, however someone still forged his name on the document submitted by George Santos to the FEC.
Trump has been reinstated to Facebook and Instagram, some two years after being banned over Jan. 6.
Zuck is just trying to keep up with Elon in the TWIT-RACE-TO-THE-TOP of the Forbes 400.
It’s gonna be like a Neil Simon play or a buddy cop flick.
Nation of the gun.
Ms Schildkraut also says “toxic masculinity” could factor in as well: nearly all mass shooters (around 98%) are male.
“If we are trying to understand the root causes of gun violence, we need to start by understanding why people pick up firearms in the first place to inflict harm, regardless of the target of that harm,” Ms Schildkraut said.
“When you compare what is going on in the US to other countries, the one thing that they don’t necessarily have that we have is just such easy access to firearms,” Mr Horwitz said.
They’re practicing. It’s like the college young republicans clubs.
