A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. It’s Hard Being A Cipher In a sign of how badly things are going for Speaker Kevin McCarthy, the House Rules Committee went into…
Could have stopped there.
Republican members are set to consider censure or other disciplinary action against Zephyr today.
Clearly, the GQP in Montana learned nothing from the activities in Tennessee where the same concept was tried and failed miserably.
Now, how many of the Montana GQP will have similar issues to those in the Tennessee GQP?
Stay tuned.
Call the vote, Kev. Show us what you got.
Favorite Tweety line:
“Don’t worry Puddy Tat, I save you…
Aw, de poor Puddy Tat…”
Joe and Kamala should race each other around the white house. Yeah, he’s a bit old for this shit, but it would reprise the video where Joe and Obama took laps around the white house.

The California Republican spent Tuesday trying to stamp out a rebellion against the GOP bill from Midwestern lawmakers who wanted to preserve ethanol tax credits passed under the Inflation Reduction Act and conservatives who demanded more spending cuts and stiffer work requirements for food stamp recipients, reported Semafor.
“At about 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, Republican leaders filed amendments to their package aimed at winning over the holdouts,” the website reported. "With the changes, the bill would no longer repeal some of the biofuels tax credits the corn-belt Republicans expressed concern over, and would allow companies that had already made business decisions based on the credits to claim two others.
“The amendment would also move up the start date of new work requirements for the federal food stamp program by a year, a key conservative demand, and nix additional IRA spending.”
And juxtapose it with the video of old fatso gingerly shuffling down the ramp at West Point.
Welp, it must be Wednesday
McCarthy can’t wrangle his own people to save the economy much less begin nonstarting negotiations with Biden
Good luck Kev.
What a loser
We’ll have a good indication of the number of fascists and rapists voters.
