A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
The former GOP vice presidential candidate has made good on her threat suggestion run for late Rep. Don Young’s (R-AK) seat in Alaska’s special election, and announced a bid on Friday.
Raskin’s comment about gaetz was hilarious, as was his comment about roy blunt. Jamie’s a funny guy and his humor is a welcome relief from the typical political story from Washington these days.
Pfft. More chaos from Lord of Misrule. I used to love it when they talked about his “political instincts”; he had to have that, the pundits assumed, since he’d been successful and there was no apparent work or thought put into anything he did in that or any other realm. That’s obvious here. He. Has. One. Criterion. and I won’t insult you by saying what it is. I’m pretty sure Alaskans remember when Sarah just up and quit. She was destined for far greater things, or so she assumed, and the mere governorship of some oddball non-contiguous state was far too lowly a position for one such as she. She’ll get back to D.C. where the action is, baby, so look out, world! Sarah’s back! 
“…evil, stupid and jealous” – donnie
So, he does look in a mirror.
I’m sitting here in northern NH and yes, I can see Maine from here. There is a lasting legacy of Palinisms that will never die.
She’ll always be the innovator who introduced complete buffoonery into national-level politics.
I sure wish I could find the old cartoon “1 in 5 people” that depicts 5 people at a bus stop and one of them is eating paint chips from a bag.
I have some of those chip eaters in my family.
From “The Morning” (NYT) :
“Orban set about changing the rules to remain in power. He has stacked the courts with allies and used lawsuits to quash media coverage. He has aggressively changed election rules.”
Remines me of Trump.
Sure sounds like The Far Side.
Jackson On Track For Historic Confirmation This Week
But the POS Senator Toomey from PA cannot support her, even though he is retiring. Useless tool
Good the kiss of death, not that she needs it. She can crash and burn on her own.
On a side note didn’t Madison Cawthorn say the GOP was throwing orgies, co-incidence, I think not!
Ruskin so nailed it!
Can you see what Susan Collins is about?
He could have been one of the famous GOP so-called “moderates,” since he occasionally strays a bit from the pack, but he’s too much of a weakling and nonentity even for that, which is really saying something when Collins is more of an interesting and unpredictable figure.
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) is Quite Concerned that we might be entering an era “where the only way to confirm a Supreme Court nominee is the party of the president has to be in control of the Senate,”
This is fucking infuriating, that he’s “concerned” about this.
Tfg adds his special touch of death to the race. Let’s see what the local paper says.
50 candidates: A wild U.S. House race takes shape in Alaska (adn.com)
Vote Fetterman. Please… (I think you may’ve already expressed support)
OT a bit, but some of us here in Wisconsin have noted the Minocqua Brewing company that’s working to oust a few GQPer’s, including RoJo. A local newspaper in their area put up a SLAPP suit to suppress the message the brewing company’s PAC is putting out there about these three numbskulls and it’s draining the PAC resources.
If you can find some spare change to throw their way, it’ll help a lot.

Here, to support the PAC.
So it wasn’t just dump
GOP Governor Slams Mike Lindell’s ‘Crap’ Pillows | Crooks and Liars
By David — April 4, 2022
Gov. Chris Sununu (R-NH) offered scathing criticism of former President Donald Trump and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell over the weekend.
While speaking at the annual Gridiron Club dinner on Saturday, Sununu didn’t hold back his feelings about Trump.
“You know, he’s probably going to be the next president," Sununu said, according to Politico. “Nah, I’m just kidding! He’s f–king crazy!”
“The press often will ask me if I think Donald Trump is crazy," he added. "And I’ll say it this way: I don’t think he’s so crazy that you could put him in a mental institution. But I think if he were in one, he ain’t getting out!”
Sununu also took a shot at Lindell, who has been on a crusade to prove that Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
“This guy’s head is stuffed with more crap than his pillows," he joked. "And by the way, I was told not to say this, but I will: His stuff is crap. I mean, it’s absolute crap. You only find that kind of stuff in the Trump Hotel.”
Before ending his remarks, Sununu unloaded on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).
“What is with Ted? You see that beard?” the governor asked. "He looks like Mel Gibson after a DUI or something.
NYT lawsuit failed, and SWMNBN is running out of money.
Her “announcement” word salad on Newsmax:
“Well you know, when you have nothing to lose. Kind of like President Trump when he came in to… in one sense you have everything to lose as Trump gave up so much. But on the other hand, you know when the media has clobbered you as bad as you can get clobbered and the haters, you’re not going to change their mind, but you have faith that there are enough Americans who understand where you’re coming from, your love for the country, your servant’s heart, um, uh, yeah I think there are enough Americans who understand what we need, and when I have nothin’ to lose as is the case today, I think it’d be good for my family even. Um yeah!”
Nothing to lose. Good for the family. Um yeah!
