A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.

A newly filed affidavit describes how Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and his wife fled their home in a truck on Monday morning when a process server tried to serve the attorney general a subpoena in a lawsuit by nonprofits working to help Texans receive out-of-state abortion care.

"because doing so would create “middle ground” in “all parts of our governance,”

She misspelled “gridlock” and gridlock is good if you don’t want to make things worse, or change them, or make them better.

  • Sinema also boasted that she’s “never really wanted to fit in, not in Washington, and not anywhere else.” In other words:

Many years ago a wise mentor of mine suggested that I read Graham Greene’s The Comedians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comedians_(novel). He told me that most people view themselves as tragedians but they are really comedians. I can’t imagine anyone who fits that description better than Sen. Sinema.

It’s still not clear who exactly Sinema’s trying to win over by proudly stonewalling her own party’s agenda

It’s pretty clear to me… anyone who will throw money at her.

Jeez that was a depressing read. I hope she eventually comes to a realization that she didn’t have anything to do with his escalating behavior.

In what’s almost certainly meant to be a troll move aimed at the U.S., Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday granted Russian citizenship to ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who’s been living in Russia since 2013 to escape criminal charges after exposing U.S. mass surveillance.

Wow. He really showed us. Yo, Vova, slava Ukraini, you murdering maniac.

I saw on TV earlier Snowden won’t be drafted into Putin’s meat grinder.
