TOM is so paranoid, he believes that having ASL interpreters at his press briefings will pose a threat to his image. Yes, really. “The Trump administration is arguing that requiring real-time American Sign Language interpretation of events like White House press briefings “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” part of a lawsuit seeking to require the White House to provide the services. The National Association for the Deaf sued the Trump administration in May, arguing that the cessation of American Sign Language interpretation — which the Biden administration had used regularly — represented “denying hundreds of thousands of deaf Americans meaningful access to the White House’s real-time communications on various issues of national and international import.” .. attorneys for the Justice Department argued that being required to provide sign language interpretation for news conferences “would severely intrude on the President’s prerogative to control the image he presents to the public,” also writing that the president has “the prerogative to shape his Administration’s image and messaging as he sees fit.” A White House spokesperson did not immediately comment Friday on the ongoing lawsuit or answer questions about the administration’s argument regarding the damage of interpretation services to Trump’s “image.” I can’t wait to hear what they dream up for this one. This should be a doozy.

The lives of the rich and famous and Epstein may come to light for more than just some house members seeing recently released photos. “Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-Va.) on Friday said some of the photos found in the home of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein depict “people engaged in sexual acts.” “Certainly, there is a lot of people involved in some of these acts,” Subramanyam added. Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released a batch of 19 photos out of 95,000 from Epstein’s estate. One of the photos show a stack of condoms with a cartoon image of Trump on each package. Below Trump’s image are the words “I’m HUUUUGE!” TOM of course says he never did anything wrong in connection with Epstein.
