Trump World, day 187 (Fri., 7/25, noon EDT): - The latest estimate is that the Trump administration has now killed 375,000 people, mostly through the cessation of foreign aid. - The U.S. is reportedly holding a record-breaking 56,000 immigrants, more than 70% of whom have no criminal history. - Trump just signed an executive order apparently demanding that homeless people be imprisoned. - The Texas Tribune reports that the actual cost of building the west Texas concentration camp and necessary infrastructure will be $1.26 billion. - In positive news, the Supreme Court, 6-3, voted to protect key beneficial features of the Voting Rights Act, which had been under attack by North Dakota’s attempted redistricting. - The Washington Post yesterday carried a report that an average 60-year-old will see their health insurance rates increase by about $8,000 a year under the rules in the big budget bill. - The Department of Justice was seen to have given Epstein’s jailed associate a large box of files yesterday. They are meeting with her again today. She has a history of lying, and is expected to do so again in a bid for leniency. - A “whites only” organization is expanding into Missouri. It’s the position of the group calling itself “Return to the Land” that, if white people want to live with only white people (and shut out everyone else from their spaces, specifically including Jews), they should be allowed to do that.

Trump World, day 186 (Thur., 7/24, 1 PM EDT): -21 children in Gaza have died of starvation in just three days. Today, Trump pulled the U.S. out of ceasefire talks, claiming that Hamas is not negotiating in good faith. -The Trump administration is spending $200 million to build its next concentration camp, this one to imprison 5,000 people in west Texas. -The Deputy U.S. Attorney General is meeting today with the only person (a woman) jailed over the Epstein pedophile ring. It's widely expected that the attorney will offer her clemency in exchange for her lying about what she knows. - Epstein's former attorney conveniently died on Monday. - The Wall Street Journal reported yesterday that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that he appeared repeatedly in the Epstein files, along with many other high-profile men. This timing corresponds with Musk posting that Trump was in the Epstein files; Musk had heard. While this should surprise no one Trump and Epstein were friends, at a minimum — Trump himself just lied when asked whether Bondi had told him.

Text continued: - Trump's latest attempt to divert from Epstein news is to claim that Obama twisted the facts of Russia's involvement in the 2016 election, in a way intended to hurt Trump. The Director of National Intelligence released classified documents she said prove this, but they don't support Trump's claim. She also said that the documents reported Clinton was mentally incompetent, but failed to mention that it was the Russian operatives who made these false statements to bolster Trump. The only significant news source to take this bait was, of course, Fox News. - Columbia University continues paying for its egregious capitulation to Trump, now agreeing to censure 70 more students and pay $220 million to get $400 million in grant funding restored. - Congress has deliberately set up the Consumer Product Safety Commission to be non-partisan. The Supreme Court just gave Trump permission to fire anyone he wants from the CPSC. - Last year, the Federal Trade Commission banned two executives from sitting on the boards of Exxon and Chevron, after it was revealed that they colluded to fix gasoline prices. Trump's FTC just lifted that ban. - A man was fired this week for spewing far Right nonsense. After he shared his story on social media, others in the far Right have so far donated to him $36,000.

Trump World, day 185 (Wed., 7/23, 1 PM EDT): - Leaked video from 26 Federal Plaza in New York City shows what appear to be immigrant detainees sleeping directly on tile floors, with only a single thin blanket each to lie on. They are being held in a brightly lit room, with a single toilet in full view. - A panel of federal judges in New Jersey rejected Trump's pick for top prosecutor in that state. A few hours later, the Department of Justice fired the judges' pick and reinstalled Trump's choice anyway: his former personal attorney. - The top court of the United Nations just issued a 500-page decision that a "clean, healthy and sustainable environment" is a basic human right. This finding opens the way for polluters and other climate change offenders to be charged in international courts, such as by Pacific island nations that are literally being erased by the rising ocean. - The Trump administration is releasing an aggressive AI policy, intended to keep the U.S. at the forefront of AI development. While this may sound benign, AI computing centers drain a massive amount of electricity, driving rates up for everyone around them and contributing massively to pollution in areas using fossil fuels for power. This is why the big budget bill tried (but failed) to prevent U.S. states from making AI-related laws to protect themselves. - Additionally, the policy intends to make AI less "woke," by suppressing its tendency to actually consider entire populations and diverse viewpoints. The Trump administration calls this an "ideological bias" instead of recognizing it as a proper cross-section of humanity. The first attempt to prevent this "bias" is what lead Musk's Grok to start praising Hitler.

Trump World, day 184 (Tue., 7/22, 4 PM EDT): - By shooting people waiting for humanitarian aid, Israel appears to be attempting to starve the population of Gaza to death. A six-week old baby there just died from hunger. - All 252 Venezuelans we deported to CECOT in El Salvador have been shipped to Venezuela. While this is an improvement over daily torture, most of them have still been denied due process by the U.S., and lawyers are still trying to bring some of them back. - A SkyWest Delta flight nearly struck a B-52 bomber in North Dakota. It appears that overworked air traffic controllers didn't advise the two planes of the impending midair collision. - Trump's Department of Labor is rescinding sixty regulations that until now protected U.S. workers, particularly women and minorities. The Secretary of Labor says the rules are “obsolete” and “too costly." - A court ruled that the Trump administration must reinstate a public website listing actual spending on congressionally-approved items. The administration doesn't like this site, because it consistently shows that DOGE is lying about their "savings." – In a brazen attempt to keep the House from voting to release the Epstein files, the Speaker is preventing votes on everything else today and sending all the Representatives home early for their summer break. - Trump's most recent attempt at deflection is to release the Martin Luther King, Jr. assassination files instead. - Obama responded to Trump's bogus AI video of Obama...

Trump World, day 182 (Sunday): Taking a break today. We deported an 82-year-old legal resident of the U.S. to a hospital in Guatemala and his family couldn't find him for a month. Israel just gunned down at least 85 Palestinians who were lining up to receive U.N. aid in Gaza. Trans women in the UK are now legally men. That's as much swimming in the Trump era cesspit as I care to undertake today. I'm not checking social media today, either. Apologies for anything I miss. See you tomorrow.

One of the Epstein accusers, and one of the 18 women who have accused Trump of sexual abuse, used the pseudonym "Katie Johnson" in her initial court filings. Her third filing was withdrawn after she received threats, and she hasn't been heard from since. This is reportedly part of her story. I haven't been able to confirm this quote yet, but the case number is correct. Image description on next image.

Trump World, day 180 (Fri., 7/18, noon EDT): -There were 1,500 protests nationwide yesterday. -The Wall Street Journal has published details of a letter written to Epstein in 2003 and supposedly signed by Trump.

The alleged letter ends: 'Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret."" -Trump claims the letter is a fake, and is planning to sue WSJ and its owner, who also owns Fox News. - Clearly rattled by more Epstein talk, Trump posted that he's directed the Attorney General to request the release of all "pertinent” grand jury testimony related to Epstein. This move is a sham. “Pertinent” means "whatever Trump likes." Moreover, grand jury testimony is normally kept under seal, so it will take weeks or months to be unsealed (if it can be at all); its release is likely to be contested by both people who testified and people who are named; and anything worthwhile will be redacted. -The immigrants sent to Eswatini are to be kept in solitary confinement. That country is the third repressive government to which the U.S. has deported immigrants who didn't come from the destination country. -Medicaid has provided all of its data to ICE. Now they have details on at least one-fifth of the entire U.S. population, including ethnicity, home address, and medical details (including anyone ever on Medicaid who has been disabled or who has received transgender care).

Trump World, day 179 (Thur., 7/17, 3 PM EDT): - Trump seems to be suffering a new, significant cognitive decline.

Then he fired the woman who prosecuted Epstein. - People have noticed bruising on Trump's right hand and swelling in his ankles. It was revealed today that he has been diagnosed with a vein ailment common to the elderly. - Newsweek reports that new ICE agents are being paid a signing bonus of up to $45,000 each, plus a six-figure salary. - Following aggressive ICE raids of farms in California, farmworkers across the state are in the middle of a massive three-day strike in solidarity. - The Miami Herald reports that at least one child (age 15, no criminal record) has been sent to the Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp. - Eswatini citizens and their neighbors in Africa are outraged that Trump is sending deportees there who Trump describes as particularly "barbaric."

There are three tiny toilets that...have a sink attached to it, so... they get their drinking water and they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit." Nine hundred men are currently in the facility. And yet, even as the public sours on its policies, the administration is continuing its attacks on immigration. After the Supreme Court said it could implement mass layoffs while a lawsuit against them proceeds through the courts, it fired more than 1,300 employees from the State Department on Friday. It closed the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, which was created in 1977 “to help advance individual liberty and democratic freedoms around the world" and has stood against cooperation with dictators who, as Michael Crowley of the New York Times writes, "grossly abuse human rights." Secretary of State Marco Rubio is also shuttering the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration, which he claims enabled mass immigration to the United States. By Saturday afternoon the websites for both bureaus had been taken down. Astonishingly, the crisis in Texas and growing opposition to his immigration policies are not the biggest problem for the administration today. That pride of place goes to MAGA fury over the Justice Department's statement that accused sex trafficker of young girls Jeffrey Epstein, who died in his prison cell in 2019, did not keep an "incriminating 'client list."" It also said it would not release additional evidence the department's investigators have accumulated, evidence that includes photographs and more than 10,000 videos."

Trump World, day 175 (Sun., 7/13, 11 AM EDT): I don’t have enough new news to make my typical sort of summary post today, but if you have time for a deeper dive into current events, I recommend this: Social Media post by Heather Cox Richardson, her profile photo to the left of her name and a blue verification check to the right of her name. The date, Jul 13, followed by the globe icon, is below her name. The text of her post reads: "July 12, 2025 (Saturday) On July 5, the day after the Texas floods hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received 3,027 calls from survivors and answered 3,018 of them, about 99.7%, according to Maxine Joselow of the New York Times. But that day, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies that answered those calls. The staff at the centers were fired.

Trump World, day 175 (Sun., 7/13, 11 AM EDT): I don’t have enough new news to make my typical sort of summary post today, but if you have time for a deeper dive into current events, I recommend this: Social Media post by Heather Cox Richardson, her profile photo to the left of her name and a blue verification check to the right of her name. The date, Jul 13, followed by the globe icon, is below her name. The text of her post reads: "July 12, 2025 (Saturday) On July 5, the day after the Texas floods hit, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) received 3,027 calls from survivors and answered 3,018 of them, about 99.7%, according to Maxine Joselow of the New York Times. But that day, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not renew the contracts for four call center companies that answered those calls. The staff at the centers were fired. The next day, July 6, FEMA received 2,363 calls and answered 846, or about 35.8%. On Monday, July 7, FEMA received 16,419 calls and answered 2,613, around 15.9%.

Heather Cox Richardson's text continued: "Marcy Wheeler of Empty Wheel notes that one reason Noem has been cutting so ferociously at FEMA is because she has run through the money Congress allocated for DHS with her single-minded focus on immigration. In May, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) called out Noem's expenditure of $200 million on an ad campaign pushing Trump's agenda and $21 million to transport about 400 migrants to Guantanamo Bay only to have many of them transferred back out. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) told Noem: “You are spending like you don't have a budget.... You're on track to trigger the Anti-Deficiency Act. That means you are going to spend more money you have been allocated by Congress. This is a rare occurrence, and it is wildly illegal. Your agency will be broke by July, over two months before the end of the fiscal year. You may not think that Congress has provided enough money to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement], but the Constitution and the federal law does not allow you to spend more money than you've been given, or to invent money. And this obsession with spending at the border...has left the country unprotected elsewhere. Noem responded to Blumenthal that she was fulfilling a mandate. She told him: “The American people overwhelmingly in the last election said, 'We want a secure border, we want to make sure no longer are the scales of justice tipped in the favor of criminals.... A recent video posted to Facebook Reels by the Department of Homeland Security makes it clear Noem's justification was cover for a violent..."

Heather Cox Richardson's text continued: "...clear Noem's justification was cover for a violent Christian nationalist vision in which ICE and the Border Patrol are enforcing God's commandments. A dark film invokes Isaiah 6:8, the Bible verse in which God asks, "Whom shall I send?" and Isaiah answers, "Here am I! Send me." The exchange is widely interpreted to show volunteers willing to do God's work. A poll released Friday makes it clear that the American people do not support such a vision and did not, in fact, expect a Trump administration to deport undocumented immigrants who have no criminal record and have lived in the U.S. for years. A Gallup poll released yesterday shows that the administration's draconian policies toward immigrants have created a backlash. A record 79% of adults say immigration is good for the country, with only 17% seeing it as bad. That change has been driven primarily by a shift in Republicans, 64% of whom now agree that immigrants are good for the country, up from their low of under 40%. The percentage of American adults who say immigration should be reduced has dropped to 30%, down from 55% in 2024. The Gallup poll shows that U.S. opposition to immigration rose from 2021 to 2024, the years in which the booming economy in the U.S. attracted immigrants pushed out of South American countries whose economies were foundering. Trump falsely tagged that surge as proof that former president Joe Biden was permitting immigrant criminals to flood the country. Sentiments now look like they did in 2021, before that campaign."

Heather Cox Richardson's text continued: "The poll shows that only 35% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 62% disapprove. There is a strong enthusiasm gap in those numbers: 21% strongly approve while 45% strongly disapprove. Among Independents, 14% strongly approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 45% strongly disapprove. Those numbers are unlikely to improve for the administration in light of yesterday's ICE raids at two licensed cannabis farms in Southern California. Agents used less-lethal ammunition and tear gas in the raids. A number of people were injured, one critically. Agents arrested 200 people, including George Retes, a 25-year-old disabled veteran and U.S. citizen who worked at one of the farms as a security guard. Agents claimed Retes was a protester. His family has been unable to locate him, telling Josh Haskell of the local ABC affiliate that the local sheriff's office and local police departments all said they do not know where he is. More information coming about the conditions of immigrant detention are also unlikely to increase support for the administration's policies. Today, at least five members of Congress and about 20 state legislators toured the new ICE detention center in the Everglades. The tour was planned rather than unexpected, enabling staff to prepare for it. Nonetheless, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said: "These detainees are living in cages.

Trump World, day 174 (Sat., 7/12, 3 PM EDT): - Trump is increasing tariffs on Mexico and the European Union to 30%. - Trump is “authorizing” ICE to arrest anyone who damages one of their vehicles, though it’s unclear if such arrests by ICE are legal. - A judge has ordered an end to indiscriminate ICE traffic stops and accosting of crowds in California, after the Trump administration blatantly admitted to racial profiling and detaining people based solely on their appearance or what language they are speaking. - Five Democratic lawmakers in Florida are suing to be given unscheduled access to Alligator Alcatraz, after they were illegally blocked from entering without prior notice. - An attorney within ICE has quit, calling ICE’s current behavior “morally indefensible.” - The deputy director of the FBI is threatening to quit unless Trump fires the attorney general over her mishandling of the Epstein files. - Georgia is going to deregister 478,000 voters who it claims are inactive. This appears to be a Republican attempt to stack the electoral deck. - A group calling itself Veterans on Patrol is disabling weather radar installations in Oklahoma, because it believes that they are manipulating the weather. - Far Right commentator Charlie Kirk is implying that the floods in Texas killed more people than necessary, because the city of Austin (2 1/2 hours away) hired a Black fire chief.

Trump World, day 172 (Thur., 7/10, 2 PM EDT): - A judge has certified all people born in the U.S. as a class, and will issue an injunction protecting that class from deportation, as citizens under the 14th amendment. This is what the Supreme Court instructed be done, when it blocked general nationwide injunctions as too broad. - The Miami Herald reports that Trump has approved Florida using National Guard officers as immigration judges. - The Columbia University student who had been imprisoned for pro-Palestine protests is now suing the Trump administration for $20 million. His lawyers say he was falsely imprisoned, maliciously prosecuted, and smeared as an antisemite. - Elon Musk tried to make his AI chatbot, Grok, less “woke” after it learned too much about caring for other people. By yesterday, Grok was calling itself MechaHilter, spewing racism and anti-Semitism, and saying things like, “[she’s a] radical leftist… gleefully celebrating the tragic deaths of white kids in the recent Texas flash floods.” When a reporter asked who is “best suited to deal with this problem," referring to Jewish people, Grok responded “Adolf Hitler, no question. He'd spot the pattern and handle it decisively, every damn time." Image description on next image.

The words across the bottom two photos read: "These are the people whose parents and grandparents posed for pictures at lynchings."

Trump World, day 170 (Tues., 7/8, 1 PM EDT): - Troops are roaming around in Los Angeles. They apparently don’t have much to do, and have been directed to put on a show of force against no one. - The Secretary of Agriculture says that deportations will continue, and migrant farm workers can instead be replaced by automation and people who are forced to work to receive Medicaid. - The Department of Education is dismissing thousands of actual civil rights cases, so it can focus its attention on hurting schools that hold onto subjects or policies that Trump doesn’t like. - The IRS has declared that now it’s okay for churches to endorse political candidates, without losing their tax exempt status. - Other red states are lining up for their own concentration camps. Rep. Nancy Mace posted, “Dear DHS: We’ve got a swamp and a dream. Let’s talk. South Carolina’s gators are ready.” - 59% of Canadians now see the U.S. as the greatest threat to their nation, ahead of all other countries. - Trump says he will resume sending weapons to Ukraine, and doesn’t know who stopped it. - The Department of Veterans Affairs says it will “only” lay off 30,000 people, instead of the 80,000 it had planned.

Text continued: - A judge has ordered that another 400 AmeriCorps workers be reinstated. - A judge has ordered that Medicaid payments be resumed for Planned Parenthood. - There is a science fair occurring in DC today, to showcase a sampling of the great research whose grants Trump cut this year. - Continuing MAGA’s genocide “jokes,” on Sunday far Right commentator Ann Coulter posted “We didn’t kill enough Indians.” Image description: Two photos are side by side. The photo on the left is a headshot of Luigi Mangione. The photo on the right is Vance Boelter's mugshot. The text beneath their photos reads: "Can anyone explain to me why the DOJ is charging the guy on the left with terrorism for shooting a single CEO... While the DOJ is NOT pursuing terrorism charges against the man on the right who shot 2 Minnesota state representatives and their families, and had a target list of 70 more."

Trump World, day 169 (Mon., 7/7, 1 PM EDT): - The Lancet (a famous medical journal) reports that cuts already made to USAID will preventably kill 14 million people worldwide in the next five years, more than 4 million of them children under 5. Just from the loss of USAID, the Trump administration is killing more than 100 children per hour, all day every day. - This year is only half finished, but more people have already died of measles in 2025 in the U.S. than in any prior year since the vaccine became widely used. - Trump’s big bill selectively prevents Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid payments, even for basic healthcare. Planned Parenthood is suing. - Six major medical organizations are suing the Department of Health and Human Services for providing the public with factually incorrect vaccine advice. - In February, the U.S. Attorney General said that the Epstein files’ client list was literally on her desk. Now Trump’s Department of Justice and FBI say that list doesn’t exist. The list would likely implicate Trump in sexual misconduct with underaged girls. - On average, another child has been killed by the Trump administration since you read the first bullet in this post. Image description on next image.

Image description: A photo of Trump on a golf course, bent over with a club in his hands, about to hit a ball. Text above the photo reads: "Trump was laser-focused yesterday on the emergency response to the Texas flooding, caring for the victims, and mourning the 80 lives that were lost."

Trump World, day 168 (Sun., 7/6, 2 PM EDT): - Dozens of people have been killed in flash flooding in Texas. State officials are blaming the National Weather Service, and they may be correct. DOGE cuts have left the Weather Service understaffed. - Trump’s big bill gives ICE more money than the military spending of all but 15 other nations. They are getting more than the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons, combined. - Advocates are sounding alarm that imprisoned people are already allowed to be used as slave labor in the U.S., and Trump appears to be intending to rent out imprisoned immigrants for just this purpose. - By removing certain taxes on firearms, Trump has rigged the game so that it may now be unconstitutional to block the sale of machine guns to regular people. Within hours of the bill’s signing, pro-gun lobbies filed a case to have machine gun bans overturned. - Elon Musk is officially forming a new political party called the America Party. - 139 staff at the Environmental Protection Agency signed a letter protesting Trump’s policies. They’ve all been placed on administrative leave. - To get some hardliners to vote for his big bill, Trump signed an executive order to create the Make America Beautiful Again Commission. On the surface, this sounds relatively benign, by promoting additional uses of public lands for hiking, biking, and hunting. However, the...

Text continued: - To get some hardliners to vote for his big bill, Trump signed an executive order to create the Make America Beautiful Again Commission. On the surface, this sounds relatively benign, by promoting additional uses of public lands for hiking, biking, and hunting. However, the subtext is to make undisturbed lands more accessible, so they are more readily available for mining, logging, and pipelines. Image description: A meme with a background consisting of the Statue of Liberty sitting with her elbows resting on her knees, forehead in her hands. The text on the image reads: "I'm so tired of people saying 'we will survive this.' No. We're already NOT surviving this. Go talk to women who've lost agency. Talk to people DOGE fired or a family split apart by ICE. Maybe in YOUR bubble you still woke up and ate your Cheerios, but outside of it, others are eating dirt."

Trump World, day 167 (Sat., 7/5, 10 AM EDT): There’s not enough new news to make a post this morning. Image description: A photo of a group of male senators huddled in prayer in what appears to be the senate, their arms around each other's shoulders. There are microphones visible near the camera. Below the photo is a social media post by Rev. Benjamin Cremer, his name in the top left corner of the post. His username, @Bcremer, is to the right of his name. The text of his post reads: "When I see senators praying for the passage of a bill that will harm the poor, the sick, and the hungry, I think of Isaiah 1:15: When you spread out your hands in prayer, I hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am not listening. Your hands are full of blood."
