Hegseth likely to be impeached this week, Republicans lie about their previous support of the war on Iran, and more.
Hi there,
It’s Monday. Days after voters repudiated Trumpism, Trump promoted Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff. Miller argued for suspending habeas corpus to round up immigrants and told CNN the U.S. should acquire Greenland by force, saying the world is “governed by force.” He has described Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, as “domestic terrorists.”
🖊️ Sign the petition to call on the media to cover Miller’s appointment as what it is: a radical decision, made in defiance of the voters’ verdict, that will shape the last two years of this presidency.
Too much coverage will present this as a routine staff shuffle, with Susie Wiles moving to a political role. It is a signal. His far-right allies understood: one called Miller a “wartime chief of staff,” and another said “the dogs have been let off the chain.” The public deserves reporting that examines his record, his stated views, and what he plans to do with the most powerful staff job in Washington.
In addition, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is likely to be impeached in the House this week as Representatives reconvene after the midterm election. And the New South has finally arrived with Democrats achieving a biracial class coalition — can it last and can they build on it?
