"As Trump grows increasingly incoherent and emotionally labile, Miller grows more and more influential. He is the president’s brain, his discipline. Where Trump has no guiding principles, Miller is a resolute ideologue of white, western supremacy and a tactician of final solutions. Trump is easily lampooned, but Miller is the grimmest of reapers."

Stephen Miller is the most dangerous man in the Trump administration

In the White House deputy chief of staff, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on Miller

The Guardian

William Lindsey

"In Stephen Miller, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on him, contest everything he does and says. Because – while this may be hard to fathom – if the US ends up with Miller as its dictator, we are in even deeper trouble than we are with Trump, and it could last a lot longer."

"White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is “playing a central role” in the Trump administration’s lawless investigation of liberal groups and their finances, White House officials told Reuters."

"Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged."

William Lindsey

"The Trump administration is using the shutdown to ramp up its commitment to the Project 2025 blueprint for government. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump White House, is one of Project 2025’s architects and tasked with deciding which agencies starve and which are permanently dismantled."

Trump's Quest for Unchecked Power: A Video Roundup

Our early-October collection of clips on how the president is exploiting the government shutdown to serve his own ends

William Lindsey

"Our video probes how, while previous shutdowns were a byproduct of political gridlock, Trump has seized on the shutdown as an instrument for reengineering the state in Project 2025’s image."

@wdlindsy Office of Management and Budget

With Vought managing the budget, he controls the nation.
It’s the snarky golden rule: “the one who has the gold makes the rules”

We’ve been massively played by ghouls who told us in advance what they intended to do, but not enough people believed them.

@wdlindsy I don't think I want to know that he likes liberal probing in groups.

William Lindsey

@jens Indeed.

Steve Popovich Oct 10

@wdlindsy Stephen Miller, aka Santa Monica Goebbels, belongs nowhere near the levers of power.

@[email protected] dass Trump eine austauschbare Figur in MAGA ist, ist doch hoffentlich niemand noch unklar?

🟥 Eveline Sulman 🇳🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦Oct 10

@Life_is @wdlindsy hoffentlich!

@wdlindsy
Miller is an awful person that has pretended to be an even worse person for so long that he has now forgotten what it was like to be merely garbage.

Widdershins Smith 🐘Oct 10

I agree - I have been saying this since the first terrible term...

James Wells Oct 10

@wdlindsy
I have seen a few MAGAts say that Miller will be the next president. A couple of them said Chump is going to throw out the 22nd amendment and get a third term and that Miller will win in a landslide in 2032.

wrosecrans Oct 10

@wdlindsy That's certainly true. Thankfully, nobody likes Steven Miller. He is pushing a program that awful people eagerly agree with, but almost nobody feels personally loyal to him, so a post-Trump MAGA will have dozens of people competing with Miller for the spotlight.

Somebody like Hegseth is dumb enough to think that it will be "his turn" after Trump, and that dynamic will somewhat moderate what Miller can actually accomplish. Trump is charismatic in a way that Miller isn't at all.

@wdlindsy Right there with you. Trumpism will continue, until the GOP starts LOSING elections. They only went trump to win votes, they'll only stop trumping when it loses votes.
