Trump Is Failing and Flailing – No One’s Ever Seen Anything Like It!
July 18, 2025 10:56 a.m.
You’ve no doubt seen the Wall Street Journal story on Trump’s lewd and innuendo-rich 2003 birthday card to Jeff Epstein. That speaks for itself. To me what speaks more loudly is what appears to have been an all out war from the White House to get the Journal to kill the story. Just after 8:30 the President posted a jangling rant attacking Rupert Murdoch and Journal editor Emma Tucker, insisting he’ll sue, blaming Hillary and Obama. An hour and a half later, he posted a more succinct version of the same post, again claiming the letter was “FAKE”, threatening to sue, yada. In between those two posts he did yet another post clearly intended to appear to be Trump finally losing his patience and insisting that all information be made public. Only it wasn’t that at all. Trump said he was asking Attorney General Pam Bondi to “produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetrated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”
There are three problems with this.
First, grand jury testimony is secret and unauthorized release of it is a serious crime. Judges can under some circumstances allow the release of grand jury testimony. But they rarely do. So “subject to Court approval” makes this whole statement basically meaningless. At most it’s a way to blame some judge for the coverup.
Second, agreeing to release only the information Trump or Bondi find “pertinent” makes the whole thing not only meaningless but laughable. My defense attorney will allow the jury to see all the pertinent information from the investigation!
Third and most importantly, no one has ever talked about grand jury testimony. It’s not even clear what testimony he’s referring to. To the extent anyone knows just what the government has, the focus has always been on materials confiscated from Epstein during the 2019 investigation and especially what was taken from his residence and safe when he was arrested. So the whole “grand jury testimony” thing is a silly red herring.
Trump spouting BS is not surprise to us. What gets my attention is that this supposed throwing down of the gauntlet — that’s it! release the files! — is something anyone with a basic understanding of the case and the law would know was meaningless. So the half life of this latest effort to get ahead of the story is maybe an hour. It’s of a piece with the last 10 days — desperate, hapless, self-incriminating and accelerating on each one of those fronts. You have to be really desperate to try to put out the fire with a gambit that can’t work for more than a few hours.
…………………………………………….
Big scandals usually first come into view as black holes do. You can’t see them directly. But they exert a mammoth gravitational pull on the things around them. People start doing inexplicable things, acting in what seem like weird and self-destructive ways; people run for the hills for no clear reason or any logical explanation. Like a black hole, the gravity of the scandal has this distorting effect on people and things around it and you can infer the scope and scale by those effects even though you can’t see it directly. This is one of those cases. I don’t know what “it” is. But its force is staggering. It looks like Trump’s actions are self-destructive and inexplicable. But the most straightforward explanation is that these actions are the only option he has. He’s trapped and he’s desperate and doesn’t have any better options.
Breaking statement from the Office of President Obama:
“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.
“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes. These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”
https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/22/business/tesla-regulatory-credit-sales-revenue
Regulatory credit sales have been a huge source of revenue for the automaker, which currently faces a sales and profit slump. Legacy automakers purchase credits from Tesla to keep selling gas-burning cars that would otherwise violate emission regulations and cost them a fine.
But the Republican tax and spending bill passed earlier this month removes that financial penalty for automakers, meaning they will no longer have any incentive to purchase these regulatory credits from Tesla.
The loss of such credits hasn’t gotten nearly as much attention as the blowback to Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s alliance, then battle, with President Donald Trump or the elimination of the $7,500 tax credits for EV buyers. But removing those regulatory credits from Tesla’s balance sheet could spell disaster for the company’s financial future, perhaps even resulting in ongoing losses.

The allegedly jilted husband touts his family lineage as the sixth-generation owner of the longstanding rum brand, founded by the “original” Andrew Cabot.
The Cabot fortune has spanned generations, and was estimated at $200 million in a 1972 New York Times profile of the family. That’s $15.4 billion in 2025.
[…]
The Cabot family is one of the original “Boston Brahmin” clans that controlled New England for centuries — a club so old, WASPy and distinguished that the Irish-Catholic Kennedys are left out in the cold.
The family made its fortune in soot, known colloquially in industry circles as “carbon black,” a key ingredient in car tires, and dates back to New England for 10 generations.

It’s against the law to fail to identify yourself to a police officer.
Every Police Department in the United States should be asking masked ICE officers to identify themselves, and if they refuse, arresting them, booking them, and running a fingerprint check on them. https://t.co/76DGSZzAlY

They’re chasing quotas, not criminals!
The former head of Chicago’s immigration court, fired by Trump, is finally speaking out. A new lawsuit accuses the administration of unlawfully targeting documented immigrants who were already showing up to court, just so ICE could hit arrest quotas.
Immigrants are being detained not because they broke the law, but because they were easy to “target.”https://t.co/wDUIBtKlof

Where was the outrage when MSNBC fired Joy Reid, Tiffany Cross, Alex Wagner, Ayman Mohyeldin, Katie Phang, and Jonathan Capehart for similar reasons? Colbert is a comedian; they were journalists. This is what happens when you ignore injustices to marginalized people; it spreads.

Some Democrats think running two white liberal men in 2028 (if there are free and fair elections) will somehow sway white conservatives, including white women and conservative-leaning independents, to vote for that ticket.
What have we learned about white voters since 1964?

My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

Trump Seeks to Upend Civil Service Protections
July 21, 2025
The Trump administration is formally arguing before a federal oversight body that it has unilateral authority to fire many federal employees at any time, seeking to unwind decades of precedent and current federal law.
Federal workers are typically not considered at-will and current statute requires that agencies provide notice, cause and an opportunity to rebut allegations before a firing can take place.

Trump has fired, bullied, and silenced independent watchdogs across the government. Now many are too afraid to do their jobs.
He doesn’t want to root out waste, fraud, and abuse — he wants to hide it. Shameful.

EXCLUSIVE: Not only does an Excel spreadsheet of Trump mentions in the Epstein files exist, but so do training videos explaining how to flag the files for Trump mentions. Plus, the number of people who had access is larger than previously known. My latest: http://www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei…

“Here’s what caught my attention: the files were stored on a shared drive that anyone in the division could access. Normally, access is only granted to those working on a project, but because of the hurried nature of the exercise, the usual permission restrictions were not in place. …”
