Let’s see some prequels on Stephen Miller!
i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.
Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.
Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

I've said it before and will say it again -- the Trump administration is not acting like one that fears democratic accountability next year or in 2028. Draw your own conclusions.
it's still just striking to me that we're five weeks into this, and neither trump nor musk are offering up any treats, to anyone. everything is bad news. everything makes life harder. the only thing they're offering is a tax cut for *extremely* wealthy people, at the expense of *everyone* else.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Not for nothing, but announcing that the US is taking over Gaza the same week you’re neutering the FBI’s entire counterterrorism program isn’t that smart from a security perspective.

This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

If health insurance companies were actually “healthcare providers” they would be using technology to find new ways to save lives, not using technology to develop AI that denies claims and generates profits faster.
Health insurance is not healthcare.

How did no one reporting on politics notice the absence of the chair of house appropriations for months?!?
Going back and watching clips of her from earlier this year, stumbling through short, prepared remarks, with this context.
She was chair of House Appropriations, one of the most important jobs in Congress.

“…who specializes in vaccine lawsuits” is an insane combination of words
I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated.
We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.
