NEW: President Trump spent much of the year as a steamroller

But as 2025 ends, he seems much smaller now

Republicans took losses and are starting to defy him. He seems out of touch and focused on legacy. And Epstein won’t go away

I want to stress, also, how when we approached the Trump White House with a lengthy comment request on our findings, the only things they disputed - among the batch of lawless, titanically rancid shit - were a) Stephen miller was NOT regularly made fun of by his former GOP Hill colleagues…
In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”

Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."

Given how poorly camps are equipped, staffed, neglect, abuse are a given. Those in the camps are reporting lack of basic sanitation, little/no medical care, inability to get needed medication, poor quality/inadequate food, water.

Cruelty is the point.
