This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

🥊 Why We Need to Shut This Down
Between the FDA, RFK Jr., & RFK Jr.’s brain worm coming after abortion pill access, the last thing we need is AI handing people over to pseudo-medical grifters. When AI starts amplifying anti-abobo misinformation instead of evidence-based care, everyone's at risk.

Yet another way Trump is screwing working families: this was a FREE tool we set up so folks could file taxes directly, without paying an expensive service. So who does cancelling it benefit? The answer is not working Americans, but it sure is big corporations who profit off them.

The Trump Adm is also exploring steps to prevent people with unused SNAP benefits from using those funds after Nov 1. The money in EBT accounts has already been appropriated and expended, so blocking their use does not save a dime. It just hurts Americans.
