"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History"

Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Wealthy, well-connected, powerful men like Trump & Epstein use young girls for their own sick purposes & then discard them like used tissues. Trump is an adjudicated rapist. He is guilty of rape and likely of a 13-yr-old child. White/Wealth Privilege is something else.🤬 #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

We’re watching an entire political party actively protect the single most infamous sex-trafficking operation of our time.

This isn’t just silence—it’s complicity at the highest level.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Letitia James is being criminally charged for the ‘crime’ of holding Trump accountable. This indictment is the clearest sign yet that Trump’s project isn’t just corruption — it’s monarchy. He’s using the power of the federal government to punish his public servants and protect himself.

Exactly this. I would say that I know Letitia James personally. When she was on the New York City Council, she wasn't a democrat, but a member of the @workingfamilies.org party.

This indictment is every bit the political witch-hunt Trumpy claimed was used against him, used on his political enemies

Sheryl Weikal and the colorful Parrotlegals @leftistlawyer.com · 13h

Letitia James is a former public defender and public advocate. She's spent most of her career on the side of the marginalized and underprivileged. And let's be honest: Trump is attacking her because he doesn't want Black women in positions of authority in this country.
