A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
I would hope by now it’s obvious to regular readers that I’m trying to use Morning Memo to bring together the scattershot incremental developments in the various Trump investigation into a coherent narrative.
At the center of the dispute: Newsmax has demanded DirecTV pay millions in carriage fees to continue including the channel in its lineup. DirecTV has refused, saying that it does not want to pass on added costs to its subscribers for a channel that a small percentage of viewers actually watch. DirecTV has also balked at paying for the same content that streams to users for free on other platforms, such as Roku.
I like it that the information is only coming in dribbles in the various Trump investigations. That means the Prosecutors, AGs, SCs etc. are running a tight ship. Personally, I am a little more patient now than I was a few backs when we passed the 2 year anniversary of The Insurrection.
