Good morning, and welcome to RedState's "Morning Minute" — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day.
TOP O' THE MORNIN'
There have to be legal consequences for their actions if you're going to stop the madness from spreading more; it's already off and running because they didn't put down the insurrection at Columbia.
If we judge by the questions and commentary, there are five, possibly six, votes for Trump's argument at least in part with discussion about separating private from official acts.
When a Victory Becomes a Defeat: Biden and Bragg Are Making a Mistake, and It May Cost Them - Bigly
The Democrats are going to achieve their pyrrhic victory by convicting Donald Trump of an imaginary crime. And then, as a result, and like poor King Pyrrhus, President Biden is going to lose his throne.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
All quiet on the Swampy front. Sort of. The House and Senate are both out until next week.
White House What's Up
President Joe Biden is set to travel back to Washington, D.C., from New York. This weekend, it appears he'll actually be staying in D.C., as the White House Correspondents' Dinner is Saturday night.
Full Court Press...
No more oral arguments at the Supreme Court — Thursday's argument re: presidential immunity capped it off. Now we sit and wait for that and the 40 or so other decisions they'll be handing down between now and the end of the term.
Former President Donald Trump will be back in court in Manhattan Friday for Day 8 of the criminal trial regarding alleged falsified business records. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker should be back on the stand for further cross-examination from Trump's lawyers.
MORNING MUSING
I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I'm really leaning into the fact that it's Friday. It's been an exhausting week in more ways than one. And as I was looking over some of the recent news we've been covering, it occurred to me that one of the most exhausting things about life lately is the energy sucked up by this insistence by the progressive left that every single stinkin' day is Opposite Day: Down is up, good is bad, men are women, obesity is healthy, terrorists are the good guys...the list is endless. So over it.
LIGHTER FARE
