A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Kevin McCarthy Has A ‘Bill’ Two days ago, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) didn’t have a debt-ceiling plan or the votes. Now he has a…
FIrST!
Out of district court, now it’s on to the circuit court for an appeal.

Over a fucking basketball
An Armed Society Is A Polite Society, Part 10,723 | Crooks and Liars
Neighbors said several young children were playing basketball when the ball rolled down the street and into Robert Singletary’s yard. They said Singletary got mad and ran down the street, firing a gun at a neighbor.
They said Singletary then came back, shooting at William White as White ran with his 6-year-old daughter, Kinsley.
Kinsley and her father were seriously hurt. Her mother, Ashley Hilderbrand, was grazed by a bullet and is back home now, but William White is still in the hospital.
Here is an interesting read and it is about how the GOP lost the younger generation.
You buy a gun because you intend to use a gun.
A Trump-nominated judge denied Alvin Bragg’s effort to block the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena of one of his former investigators […]. Vyskocil mocked Bragg’s 50-page suit in her ruling, saying, “The first 35 pages of the Complaint have little to do with the subpoena at issue and are nothing short of a public relations tirade against former President and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.”
Trump and Mitch packed the court system with sham judges who are ready to be Dear Leader’s defense lawyers when called upon. But her emails, etc.
Hopefully the response from the White House regarding this “bill” will be crickets.
Twitter has removed its prohibition of transphobic content.

Right now?
I’m just a yawning nose picker and you?
K. Right. Sure.

Lawrence O’Donnell pointed out last night that the judge’s ruling (given a mere two hours after the lawyers were done stating their cases) was 800 pages 8,000 words long, which means that it was written before she ever heard the case.
ETA – I can’t find a copy of an 800 page ruling anywhere. I only found the below 25 page ruling. So now I don’t know what O’Donnell was talking about.
Ooops! Lawrence O’Donnell said 8,000 word ruling.
Sorry about that. I’m feeling a bit foolish right about now…
Kev is scared to death of The Sporker of The House. He wouldn’t dare cross her.
We talked about this a quadrillion times n we can go at it a quadrillion more times, but, if you know of an outlet that has twittah’s reach, the floor is yours.
