Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

As a Black lawyer w/Linguistics and “persuasion” expertise, I’m here to tell you I’ve only ever witnessed ONE(1) person who surpasses President Barack Obama’s oratory prowess.

Forever 1st Lady Michelle Obama is one of the best communicators I’ve ever witnessed, her brilliance is wildly understated.

My latest in my fight against the Washington Post.

I’ve filed a grievance against the Post through the WaPo Guild— and have sent a letter to Washington Post challenging my firing.

Proud to have @normeisen.bsky.social + @katiephang.bsky.social in my corner.

The Washington Post Accused Me of “Gross Misconduct.” Here's My Response.

This fight isn’t just about my job — it’s about who gets punished for telling the truth, and who gets protected for spreading hate and violence.

There has never been a more important time for Black people and Black culture to take control and ownership of social media.

Black culture and black people are what power these apps to billion dollar valuations.

let’s stand up together and build up something that gives us control of our power.
