Breaking News: President Trump said he had offered the UFC chief executive Dana White the role of White House press secretary. nyti.ms/4sLFAgd

MAGA extremists are tripling down on their chaos, cruelty and corruption after being wiped out on Tuesday.
Exhibit A is Stephen Miller.
We will hold the crooks accountable.

Appointing Syephen Miller as your White House Chief of Staff is like looking at the election results and thinking, "Nope, we lost because we weren't MAGA enough."
The only way Miller is a "central casting" pick is if you're casting a movie about a serial killer.

Look who’s throwing his hat in the ring again for president! I mean it’s blatantly obvious that’s what this is. Don’t ever trust this man. Ever again. Zero backbone.
Barb Martin retweeted
Trump appointing Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff may be the one honest thing he’s done, because white nationalism has always been at the core of Trump, MAGA and Project 2025.
With Miller, all pretense is gone and it will be impossible for Republicans to pretend otherwise.
Thank you to @Acyn for the 🎥

“There needs to be some self-reflection for Republicans,” Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.) told @politico. “There should be some heads rolling at the White House because we lost badly.”
Hours later, heads did roll. Trump announced Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as his new chief of staff.
“Horrible decision,” Stutzman said in response.

Indeed, Trump chose Miller precisely because Miller is a shameless liar and vicious demagogue. Miller may well aggravate Trump’s worst impulses; but it is probably more accurate to say that Miller reflects, and caters to, those impulses.

'The worst of all possible choices... the president made this decision, and the president needs to rethink it. It is a colossal mistake.' Republican Sen. Thom Tillis talks with @jaketapper about Trump appointment of Stephen Miller as the incoming White House chief of staff.

I learned an old political rule from Kirk O’Donnell, who was Speaker Tip O’Neill’s chief counsel: "Act on polls!"
Well, that goes Double for elections. On Tuesday the American people said they don't like law enforcement officials who wear ski masks. They don’t like this horrible war with Iran, don’t like Bibi Netanyahu, don't like collaborating with an aggressor like Vladimir Putin.
So did you get the message?
Is making Steven Miller your chief of staff a sign that you did?

Pete and the whole team now getting revved up having defeated Susie Wiles 😂😂😂😂😂

Liza Minnelli has outlived Susie Wiles's tenure as White House Chief of Staff.

Miller has been named as her replacement.

coming soon to a congressional hearing near you...
Former HHS adviser/MAHA advocate @CalleyMeans tells @JoeRogan that an initiative to look at how sugar/carbs impacted kids' health was squashed because @SusieWiles told him the GOP needed "the sugar industry money." (about 49 minutes in)

I spent two years working with Stephen Miller.
His appointment as White House chief of staff is among the most dangerous personnel decisions in the history of our republic.
I say that without reservation.
Barb Martin retweeted
Donald Trump appointed one of the most vicious right-wing fascists in his regime to the most powerful position in Washington.
It shows that he has learned nothing from Tuesday's #BlueTsunami and he will almost certainly now be tripling-down on his agenda of ICE ruthlessly terrorizing our communities across the country.

ALT A person is speaking passionately with a close-up shot showing their hand raised in a gesture. In the foreground, there is a tweet by Hakeem Jeffries criticizing Stephen Miller, describing him as a "dangerous xenophobe and reckless extremist" and calling for his removal from government.
Barb Martin retweeted
If you spent the last few days listening to those who haven't made chronicling this man their job, this is a good time to reflect on that. As far as I could tell, they were all saying Trump would mellow out. Worth deciding now who you're going to listen to—experts or dilettantes.

As I wrote in my @nytopinion piece on Feb 1, autocrats never course correct. They double down on their errors. Case in point: making Miller Chief of Staff.
