“Miller, April 28, 2015, 11:38 p.m. ET: Something tells me there is not a Calvin Coolidge exhibit.”

This is one quote from emails sent by Stephen Miller that show he is a racist hater.

It is not the most inflammatory one but the one I want to write about.

Why does he want foreign military on American soil?

Will they ask them to come and help them “fight” inside American cities?

Week two of the shutdown and the House still hasn’t shown up for work. Federal workers and service members are working without pay, yet Congress gets paid for inaction.

So I’m proposing a House Rules change: stay in session until the shutdown ends. No paid vacation.

Trump just announced that they will be firing federal workers from “Democrat“ programs.

Good. We are at war now. They are losing this war. While I’m really sorry for the people who will be losing their jobs in the long run. people need to feel the pain that the Republicans are causing.

You can draw a line from Trump's evidence-free claims about the need for troops in Portland to top Republicans insisting today that the upcoming "No Kings" rally is the work of antifa agitators. www.pbump.net/o/the-presid...

It’s going to get worse until finally. The only possible response will be a national strike.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

In case anyone thinks this is paranoid, Trump’s junta has defined terrorism to include trespass, naming ICE agents on the internet, and whatever “civil disorder” is.

politically motivated terrorist acts such as organized doxing campaigns, swatting, rioting, looting, trespass, assault, destruction of property, threats of violence, and civil disorder
