Investigate Stephen Miller and use every available power to block his agenda as the new White House Chief of Staff. This appointment is not a pivot or a reset. Trump just handed the keys to the man who architected family separation, ICE's brutal operations in Minneapolis, and extra-judicial killings in the Caribbean. Miller called the Democratic Party "a domestic extremist organization." He told CNN that the world is "governed by strength, governed by force, governed by power." That is not a governing philosophy. That is a threat. Miller is not a bumbling loyalist. He is competent, zealous, and has a track record of turning his most extreme ideas into policy. The Muslim ban, kids in cages, the racial profiling campaigns in Chicago and Los Angeles. He made those happen. With two years left and a Democratic Congress, he will try to make more happen. The voters delivered the most decisive political rout in half a century. Miller's elevation is Trump's answer to that verdict. It is contempt, plain and simple. The new Congress has the tools, the mandate, and the majority to fight back. Use them.
