Donald Trump is often cast as a “lame duck” president, but nothing about his second term resembles a presidency that is winding down. Why viewing Trump through a traditional political lens minimizes the stakes. #Velshi

Stop calling Trump a ‘lame duck’
Donald Trump is being cast as a “lame duck” president, yet his actions suggest otherwise. Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson argues Trump’s second term has given him an even “greater sense of autonomy,” unrestrained by tradition or law. Wilson warns that Trump’s need to remain the center of attention means he’ll grow even more chaotic and dangerous if he feels sidelined from power.

Trump isn’t just losing parts of his base over the Epstein scandal, says @anamariecox.bsky.social. It's reminding all Americans of the "moral stakes." And when Powell calmly fact-checked Trump in real time, he “showed every damn American how you deal with a bully,” adds @walshfreedom.bsky.social.

Not even snake lady can help Trump shake Epstein scandal
Amid the fallout from the Epstein scandal, Trump is reaching deep for anything that might distract away from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—including threatening a football team, touring the Fed, releasing MLK files, even tweeting a bizarre clip of a woman catching a snake. But this time, none of it seems to be working and his base is still demanding one thing, and one thing only: the release of the Epstein files. More importantly, says Ana Marie Cox of The New Republic, Trump is losing more than just his base—the scandal is reminding all Americans of “the moral stakes.” Even his photo-op at the Federal Reserve building—another attempted distraction from the scandal engulfing his administration—backfired big time as Fed Chair Jerome Powell fact-checked Trump’s false claims in real time. As former Congressman Joe Walsh puts it, Powell showed “every damn American how you deal with a bully.”

New in PN: An embarrassing exercise in economic and diplomatic futility "Trump's letters are rooted in his economic illiteracy. He’s stuck in a Gilded Age mindset about tariffs, but he doesn’t simply have outdated views. No, whenever he talks trade, he sounds as if he’s suffering a mental episode."

Trump's tariff letters are a joke and the joke is on us.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore couldn't have said it better — "Loving your country does not mean lying about its history." As the executive order targeting the Smithsonian attempts to erase the truth, we must fight to preserve it. Our history is not divisive — it’s reality.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

!! NEW: DOJ demands that the DC Circuit immediately reassign the case from Judge Boasberg, calling his questions "flagrantly improper" storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
That development escalates the stakes of the district court's inappropriate exercise of jurisdiction and the risks that the district court may force the government to disclose sensitive national security and operational security concerns or face significant penalties from the court. The Government cannot-and will not—be forced to answer sensitive questions of national security and foreign relations in a rushed posture without orderly briefing and a showing that these questions are somehow material to a live issue. Answering them, especially on the proposed timetable, is flagrantly improper and presents grave risks to the conduct of the Government in areas wholly unsuited to micromanagement supervision by a district court judge.
The district court's hasty public inquiry into these sensitive national security matters-with no contemplated protections against disclosure of operational details— underscores the urgency of immediate relief from this Court, including an immediate administrative stay that would allow
- 2 -
further briefing to unfold in an orderly and appropriate manner and prevents the district court from further efforts to interfere with President Trump's core Article II authorities, including the conduct of foreign policy. This Court should also immediately reassign this case to another district court judge given the highly unusual and improper procedures—e.g. certification of a class action involving members of a designated foreign terrorist organization in less than 18 hours with no discovery and no briefing from the Government—that have been employed in the district court proceedings to date.
