A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Kevin McCarthy’s struggle to nail down the speakership is powering venomous recriminations among far-right members who have split over his candidacy. Sad to see it.
First again. Boebert vs. Greene is a show that will never end. They are like Trump… can’t let shit go.
I so hope more charges can be brought against Flynn and stick. He is evil.
If they’d fall on each other with blood red nails and whitest teeth, I can’t see it’d be a big loss for the country.
Fighting over Kevin McCarthy too. 
Ha. Hahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
Oh Kev. That was really, really funny.
Seems that Boebert is a bit saner than Greene.
Rep. Chip Roy and 12 other House Republicans declare WAR on Republican senators who vote with Democrats on massive spending bill

Better Ninth than Nunth!
Her close victory made her see the world a bit differently. She’d better lose the crazy, or she may not be so lucky next time.
As if he’s the indispensable man.
Big Baby Step
Many Senate Republicans aren’t happy with McConnell after his J6 statement: CNN’s Manu Raju - Alternet.org
. In one surprising statement, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says very little about January 6th, issued a statement saying 'The entire nation knows who is responsible for that day. Beyond that, I don’t have any immediate observations.
Two mean girls have a falling out. It’s not going to be pretty. Entertaining, but not pretty.
Boobert and Empty G, what happens when the worst members of your junior high class arrive in Washington.
As someone who has criticized the DOJ for moving slowly, I have felt a certain sense of vindication in seeing Adam Schiff, who is obiviously not some knee-jerk, hyperbolic whiner state that he feels the DOJ has moved slowly. Also, Ari Melber commented on an MSNBC panel that if the DOJ doesn’t act after all the evidence the J6 Committee has presented them, what would move them to act? As we of the perpetual whiners ™ caucus have repeatedly argued, this ultimately comes down to a political decision.
That may be the funniest part, from a certain POV.
Hilarious and totally on-brand that Santos’ response includes a falsely attributed statement! Is there anything true about this guy?
Can we get Kari Lake to tag-team with them?
TOURNAMENT OF TRASH!
…Trailer Park Division
So many possibilities for added gain!
It could be a veritable ‘Kill the man with the ball’ pile on.
