Former President Trump wanted to fire the former White House chief usher for helping the Bidens move into the executive mansion, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Why It Matters: Grisham's account indicates that Trump's desire to delay or prevent the transition of power after the 2020 election affected traditionally nonpolitical White House positions.
• The detail was included in a transcript of Grisham's interview with the Select Committee that was released Thursday along with several other interview transcripts, including one from Donald Trump Jr.
What They're Saying: Grisham said Timothy Harleth, the former White House chief usher, "independently" reached out to members of Biden's transition team after Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election and gave them a binder with resources to help the incoming first family, like blueprints so they could order furniture.
• Grisham described Harleth's actions as "the normal stuff that you would do" during a presidential transition," but said he "wasn't really allowed" to talk to Biden's people.
• When Trump and former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows found out about Harleth's contact with Biden's team, she said they "wanted to fire him immediately for trying to facilitate that kind of transition."
• "They felt that what Tim did was completely disloyal, and they were not to help at all, or he was not to help at all, and he was almost fired for it," Grisham told the Committee.
• However, Harleth was not fired because former first lady Melania Trump "stepped in and said, no, you're not going to fire him with 3 weeks to go," Grisham said.
The Big Picture: The White House chief usher, traditionally a nonpolitical position, is head of household staff and operations at the executive mansion. Appointed ushers typically serve multiple presidential administrations.
• Harleth, a former employee of the Trump Organization, was chosen to become usher by Melania Trump in 2017.
• Ultimately, Harleth was fired on Inauguration Day even before the Bidens officially moved into the White House, according to the New York Times.
• His firing resulted in a brief awkward moment when Joe and Jill Biden first arrived at the mansion in 2021.
• Since there was no hired usher at the time of their arrival, the Bidens were greeted with a set of closed doors on the North Portico. Typically, the doors would have been held open for the first family.

Happy Birthday Anthony! I always associate Inauguration Day with your birthday!! Best wishes!
Thank you!
Having your birthday fall on Inauguration Day helps people remember it -- especially when you happen to be a Presidential historian -- but it also can mean the difference between a really good day and a really bad day every four years.

This song and Swallow, the ep its from feel like they were market tested and made in a lab specifically for me.
Not to say Demons is fake in anyway, it just that it hits so many of my zones so perfectly its hard to imagine it wasn’t made with me in mind.
Anyway, this rips and the digital version is free. Go get it.

it is time for a change, I know this may seem excessive, but I love having celebrations and also I need to make sure the message gets out there ya know?
anyway, @storyofaromance and @starlit-epiphany have both been very reassuring, and then so has @goddess-coded, but in different ways. So this is my re-coming out as genderqueer I guess, but we all knew that. But also I'm rebranding, sooooo I've decided that I don't feel very connected to Della anymore, I still love it, but Mara feels closer to me, and also it doesn't autocorrect to anything, which is a bonus when making tags. So I'll be going by both, call me whatever your heart desires, I'm just a little She/they, with too many names, having too much fun <;3 so here is the theme of "Songs with names for titles" <3
nav
☙Arabella❧ Send me a description/pictures of your style and tell me about yourself and I'll tell you what fandom you belong in and give you some HCs <3
☙Jolene❧ Send me song recommendations and i'll tell you what i think of them/lines that stick out to me and i'll recommend something I think you'll like <3
☙Come On Eileen❧ Mood boards for anything you like (your blog, a song, band, character + au, the usuals, whatever you think of)
☙Diana❧ Love letters, for da moots
☙See Emily Play❧ GAMES!!! the usual, fmk, cym etc etc
☙Seamus❧ Send me things that remind you of me and i'll say what reminds me of you <3
☙Jamie's Cryin❧ Send me something, anything at all, a name, a band, a song, a word, a book and I'll tell you what colors I associate with it. (ex. the number 8 and the color peacock blue)
☙Coraline❧ I didn't post this originally because I forgot but then i didn't want to but then i did so now we're here, SHIPS, I love ships, tell me as much as you're comfortable with about yourself, send a fandom and gender preference, and I'll ship you and give you some head canons <3
moots my darlings: @thebestieyoureinlovewith @starstruckmoony @odairsangel @bunny-ki-naina @dewdropdummy @sincerelyyoursg @toadstool-amongst-the-tulips @shefollowedthestars @starlit-epiphany @angry-little-frog @unadulterated-syd @loverliner @diorgirl444 @sp1rit-realm @siriusownsmyheart @meredarling @ifthiswasamovie1989 @munsonsreputation @on-my-contrarian-sh1t @babyrunsforfanfic @esperisdrunkinwonderland @masivechaos @mapleransom-blog @bug-boy32 @finnyboob @beezywriting @writingsbybirdie @steviesnailbat @katsu28 @loving-and-dreaming @maroon-winestain

I finished The Shadow Rising and I have so many scenes I want to draw, yet so little time.

TBH 2nd of January is the most Scottish holiday: a free bank holiday as a result of previous generations' almost religious commitment to partying on Hogmanay/New Year, on which you are expected to do absolutely nothing other than veg out on the couch
