Today, we could focus on what Trump is doing to the CDC, the Fed, the FBI, the DOJ., Alligator Alcatraz, masked ICE agents, or his occupation of major American cities.
But let’s talk about Stephen Miller, the Rasputin behind Trump’s offensives.

Taking Stephen Miller Seriously. And Literally.
He declares Democrats "a domestic terrorist organization."

For all of Hegseth’s chest-thumping about being “laser-focused on warfighting,” his Pentagon finds time for other priorities — such as restoring Confederate names, reinstalling Confederate monuments, and rehanging a portrait of a Confederate general at West Point. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Hegseth’s Pentagon to reinstall Confederate general’s portrait at West Point library
Despite Hegseth’s rhetoric about “lethality,” his Pentagon finds time for other priorities — such as helping Confederate names, monuments and paintings.

This is not (merely) the ranting of a fevered extremist. This is the man who has the ear of the President of the United States. And we are seeing the consequences rolled out on a daily basis.

I still think many Americans have no idea how bad this is going to get. I saw President Obama reposting a tepid, mealy-mouthed analysis by Ezra Klein—who's never seen a phenomenon he couldn't be 5 years late in incompetently circumscribing—and I felt like we don't have what it takes to survive this.

Why is the Trump administration detaining green card holders without cause, blocking legal counsel, and refusing to tell families where they are?
Will Kim has lived here since he was five. He’s getting his PhD, researching a Lyme disease vaccine at Texas A&M—and ICE disappeared him at SFO.

Sigh. Here we go again. So once more, to add to the "myths that do not die," the older voters who are the mainstay of Trump's support were educated during the supposed golden age of public education. People my age, who went to good public schools and cheap colleges. /1

Democratic senators should ignore GOP attacks over not confirming Trump's nominees, and instead go on the offensive: Attack Republican senators for not voting to release the Epstein files. And urge voters to go to Republican senators' town halls or find them elsewhere to challenge them on this.

“He stole her.”
Trump saw it as a property transfer. Like a real estate deal.
The late Virginia Giuffre was a teenager at the time, about 17 years-old. And Epstein began sexually abusing and trafficking her.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.

At some point, the Republican project shifted from attacking scientific consensus on particular subjects that ran counter to their political interests to trying to shut down all scientific inquiry wherever it might be headed.

As page 12 of the government’s sentencing memo in Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal case reflects, sex-abuse victim Virginia (Roberts) Giuffre was 17 years old when Maxwell, as Donald Trump put it today, “stole” Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago.
