A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Dominion Voting Systems is absolutely going to town on Fox News in its billion-dollar defamation suit, and it’s using the network’s 91-year-old billionaire mogul as cannon fodder in the effort.
HA! FIrST!
Rupert Murdoch’s own recent deposition testimony turned out to be absolutely devastating for the crown jewel of his media empire.
This sounds like Dr. Frankenstein as he experiences that moment of clarity that he should have not done what he did.
Lawrence out-did himself last night.

Jez, we have no jobs, shitty education ect, but…we will bribe you to come back with taxpayer money. Rather then using the money to fix all the reasons people are leaving

Sorry, shareholders. But don’t worry, I’ll be fine.
Chaos erupted in Russia overnight as drones swarmed multiple regions, sparking an explosion at an oil depot and the deployment of fighter jets near St. Petersburg, according to local reports.
One strike at around 2 a.m. in the Krasnodar region was less than 100 feet from a Russian Defense Ministry barracks, the independent Agentstvo News reports. Two drones filled with explosives landed at a nearby Rosneft oil depot in Tuapse, sparking a blaze that was “quickly extinguished,” according to the Russian outlet Baza.
If you lie, you must suffer consequences. The bigger the lie, the more painful the consequences.

Cruz: As I sit here and listen to those folks on TV and read those headlines, it makes me angry. Because they’re lying. They’re deliberately lying. They knew they were lying.
And frankly, he is only down with lying when it benefits him.
As to Marjorie Toddler Greene one has to wonder what is going on with her because if I didn’t know better, I would say she is having a nervous breakdown or there is something legal coming her way.
Shareholders should have expected the “I got mine, fuck you” coming. Did they expect the king propagandist for the Republicans not to act like a republican?
Morning Memo time depends on where one lives. Here in AZ it’s just past 6:30 AM.
Maybe to Kentucky? I don’t know if year round weather is favorable, but democratic governor Beshear will likely win re-election this year, and even their lege wouldn’t turn down 20,000 jobs and the tourism revenue.
They could start building a park in say… Maryland, and by the time it’s complete, Global warming will have made Maryland warm enough for year-round tourism…
Every time anyone links to a tweet about her she makes a buck. That’s her schtik.
I keep wondering if they won’t move the whole operation to Georgia with global warming.
Certainly it’s time for Disney to poop on DeSantis’ parade.
Entirely performative … the number of people likely to fit the requirements …minimal
Those eligible for the tax credit had to live and work in West Virginia for at least 10 years or were born in the state. They had to live outside of the state for at least 10 consecutive years prior to 2023.
… and, of course they then have to begin working a job in West Virginia starting in 2023 …
In some ways that is true, but lately there has been this nervous hint behind them and if this incident isn’t true, then there is something wrong with her. I keep thinking that her husband was the one who wanted the divorce and it is like he knows something is coming.
