A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
In the absence of indictments in Georgia and with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s own Jan. 6 investigation mostly tight-lipped, we are left with this: The foreperson of Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis’ special grand jury mouthing off to reporters and sitting for TV interviews.
First. Kinda wish the GA Grand Jury lady hadn’t done that. It was a tight ship…not so much now.
Just needs mentioning
…that would be his plaque on the Ukraine Walk of the Brave. You had to be there.
Kohrs walked right up to the line
Two can play the game, Donald.
Exactly what I was thinking. I wish she hadn’t done that as well, but If she is stepping right up to the line, but not crossing it, I’m going to enjoy the conservative tears.
Yep, I could see the SC nullifying the Grand Jury outputs and make Fani start over…
Yes, but will she leak self-serving distortions attributable to, “people close to the investigation?”
The Foreperson is already a distant memory. She had her 15 seconds.
Fix your credit score. Vote blue.
I saw a news report on McCarthy releasing the footage to Carlson on a news channel this morning and Tucker ominously explained that there were people in this country who were using January 6th as a way to fundamentally change this country.
Duh, I thought.
Meanwhile……it’s about time……
The family of Malcolm X plans to file a $100 million lawsuit against a series of government agencies claiming they deliberately tried to conceal evidence in the activist’s assassination, an attorney said Tuesday. Civil rights lawyer Benjamin Crump said Malcolm X’sdaughters, Qubilah Shabazz and Ilyasah Shabazz, were giving formal notice of the legal complaint to the state of New York, the city of New York, the NYPD, the district attorney’s office, and several federal law enforcement agencies including the CIA and FBI. Crump said the named entities “had factual evidence and exculpatory evidence that they fraudulently concealed from the men who were wrongfully convicted for the assassination of Malcolm X.” Two of the three men convicted for the 1965 killing were exonerated by the Supreme Court in 2021—the city of New York settled lawsuits last year brought by both men for $26 million, with the state of New York agreeing to an additional $10 million payment.
I so wish that actual facts like this would influence the voters who keep returning pond scum like DeSatanist and Hot Wheels Abbott to power.
Republican Alaska state Rep. David Eastman this week stunned observers when he asked about the potential economic benefits of abused children dying.
The Anchorage Daily News reports that Eastman spoke up during a House Judiciary Committee hearing that was centered on the deleterious long-term effects that being sexually abused has on children.
As ADN notes, part of the presentation included economic data showing that an abused child “could cost the family and broader society $1.5 million in terms of trauma and what the child could potentially have earned over their lifetime.”
It was based on this that Eastman started asking if society might save money if the child were to simply die instead of remaining alive to be a burden on society.
“It can be argued, periodically, that it’s actually a cost savings because that child is not going to need any of those government services that they might otherwise be entitled to receive and need based on growing up in this type of environment," he said.
I suspect Emily Kohrs is waiting for a call from either Gloria Allred or her daughter. Lisa Bloom. “Mouthing off” is the correct description of her behavior; she’ll talk to anyone with a mic or studio.

That happened here in Kansas too though I’ve seen no National reporting on it.
Kohrs is the perfect The View guest.
I can guarantee that the reason the children were in the workplace was so their parents on the cleaning crew could watch out for them during overnight shifts. And if some of the kids were old/big enough to empty the recycling, why not let them pitch in?
SOME medical debt will kill credit scores. It depends on the hospital system. I know this from experience. For example, Emory Hospitals here in Georgia do not report medical debts to the credit bureaus.
That clearly doesn’t remove the need for medicare expansion, just pointing it out for completeness.
