To congressional Democrats, Trump’s decision to promote aide Stephen Miller to serve as his chief of staff meant two things: an elevation of the aide’s extremist views and a refusal to heed the will of voters who delivered the left a historic victory.
“Stephen Miller is the architect of Project 2025, which included the push for ‘unitary executive power’ that Trump used to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies, enable the failed efforts of Elon Musk and DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency], the stripping of healthcare from millions of people, and the mass deportation agenda that led to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and CBP [Customs and Border Protection] killing people in the streets, separating families, locking up kids and gutting the legal immigration system,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, said in a statement.
Miller has been living on a military base for fear of his life. He knows he is not popular. He just doesn’t care.
What he will do is make work so awful (a double whammy of purposeful and through incompetence) the few good federal servants left will leave or get hamstrung.
Look, everyone likes making fun of this guy. Right? He’s a cartoon villlain. High school speech. His essays in college. Well, he’s a true believer. Those guys are the ones that will burn the world down rather than admit they are wrong.
I don’t think anyone recognizes how dangerous this is. Following the resignations in DOJ and military removals, they are not planning on lowering grocery prices over there folks.
