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'
Joe Biden's Insane Interview With Erin Burnett Should Be the Final Straw for American Voters
We are well past the point of these just being simple policy disagreements. What is coming from the White House is simply evil.
You will be shocked, deeply shocked, I'm sure, to find out that these were not in fact "peaceful protesters."
Incredibly Cringeworthy Kamala Moment As She Accidentally Skewers the Left's Narrative on Women
A man doesn't have any of those parts that Kamala is talking about. So she just torpedoed that whole narrative.
WHAT'S ON TAP?
Today on Capitol Hill...
Only five meetings/hearings are set for Thursday on the Hill, mostly budgetary and nominations. And things may seem a bit quieter now that the motion to vacate the speaker's chair has been scuttled.

But we can expect some continuing condemnations of President Joe Biden's handling of the Israel-Hamas war, as well as one member's over-the-line social media post. And don't forget...there's the Henry Cuellar (D-TX) situation and the impending Bob Menendez (D-NJ) trial.
White House What's Up
Not a thing on the president's calendar for Thursday morning (probably resting up from Wednesday's barnstorming). In the afternoon, Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris will welcome the Las Vegas Aces to the White House to celebrate their 2023 WNBA championship. (Will Kamala be extolling the virtues of their ovaries?)
After that, Biden jets off to San Francisco.
Full Court Press...
Former President Donald Trump is back in court in Manhattan on Thursday, as Stormy Daniels will once again take the stand to discuss the lurid details of her alleged tryst with Trump almost two decades ago so that the jury can determine if the former president should be jailed for...checks notes...being Trump.

MORNING MUSING
I have good news for readers who are tiring of tornado talk: After Thursday, we should be in for some quieter days. Although the past week or two have been extraordinarily eventful from a severe storm perspective. Wednesday evening's offerings included so many tornado warnings over southern Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and even North Carolina and Texas (sorry if I forgot anyone) that the National Weather Service struggled to keep up with them and all of the weather streamers have pretty much lost their voices. And now there's severe flooding in Tennessee and elsewhere. But, as I said, things are about to quiet down...
That is, unless these things decide to make things extra squirrelly... https://t.co/htdo0gyhoQ

LIGHTER FARE
The only thing missing is the glare when you dare to say, "Excuse me," and try to squeak by...
