Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

@governor.ca.gov I'm sure you're aware that this entire premise is based on the lies that there is an emergency invasion issue in the US! The Felon-President has manufactured an issue to justify his means! Please challenge this in court to wipe out this ridiculous situation!

Remember, this entire process, is predicated on an emergency situation that didn't exist, doesn't exist! The whole process needs to be challenged in court, NOW!

If undocumented workers with no criminal history are being dragged from job sites that they’ve worked at for years, then when do the CEOs, contractors, and farm owners who employed them start getting handcuffed? Or is that not how “justice” works in America?

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

How about this, propose a 2 % tax on everything sold in the US. No more tarrif wars just what is needed to equalize trade! Since tariffs increase ALL prices some, tax a minimum and give us a break for a change!

These convicted but pardoned or ready to be charged then dropped people are still enemies of the constitution and the federal government! They should have been banned from any federal positions!
