A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
It turns out Bill Barr and John Durham were sipping scotch as they burned down Main Justice.
Gertie says “first”
ETA. I miss Matt. I haven’t been reading the news lately. Wanted to say hi to you all.
Thurd! 
corruption, malfeasance, and politicization within the Barr Justice Department
But weren’t corruption, malfeasance, and politicization in his job description?
So the bagman for the RNC, Bill Barr is corrupt, what a surprise!!
Remember he is the last visitor to Jeffrey Epstein before he was found dead by “suicide”.
The algorithm on this site advertises to me
a Treasury of Mark Twain, published by the Library of America, for $6.95.
How could that have happened?
It should come as no surprise that Barr was Barr. He was CHOSEN because that’s the guy he is. We’ll never know the extent of his corruption but there’s no reason to be surprised by new revelations. That was his job.
It’ll be interesting to see what future AG uses Barr’s portrait in their conference room. Merrick Garland has RFK’s portrait. The Keebler Elf and Billy Boy had John Mitchell’s portrait.
Ho Hum just another one

It will be forever frustrating how every crook and scumbag (most?) in the 45 admin will not be held accountable for their grifting and abuses of power. Our system absolutely failed over those four years.
I shudder to think who would be corrupt enough –or ignorant enough– to display Barr’s portrait. There’s gotta be someone percolating through the system like that. Most immediately, I think the person in a conjectural DeSantis administration would fit the bill.
Looks like somebody orca-strated their comment to use a cool killer whale breaching pic!
Barr’s obviously corrupt, and we’ve known that since he covered up Iran-Contra, but this bit…
I mean, on some level, it’s it just the sensible thing to do? If you do correct that misperception, Trump’ll immediately fire you and replace you with someone even more corrupt, to shut down any criminal probe into himself.
Not looking too good

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Thursday proposed an amendment that would have prevented Biden from selling oil in the future to combat high gas prices.
as a vote on the amendment ended with just 14 votes in favor and a whopping 418 votes opposed
Good to see you and Gertie, @grack!
Hope all is well.
It’s odd how these voters see these liabilities as qualifications:
Lindell has been de-banked, censored, de-platformed, and personally targeted by the FBI, and his business has been restricted.
Barely Speaker McCarthy has another problem child in his rebel twenty and it is Andy Ogles from Tennessee, who is refusing to fill out his financial disclosure forms. He also took $89,134 in donations from various financial firms. The Barely Speaker is going to regret getting rid of the last Congress’ proxy voting system.
Is this true? I wasn’t aware of it…that puts Billy Barr in a whole new light if true.
