I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

In case there was any ambiguity about which enemies Trump is intent on targeting, a national security directive published last week spelled it out:

Anyone who is not with him will be considered against him โ€” and against the United States.

Your reminder: During Trump's first administration, Stephen Miller said they should use predator drones to murder civilians in boats. Now they're doing it.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked โ€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers โ€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism โ€” letโ€™s not pretend itโ€™s something else when it happens in our American cities.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski cast the deciding vote to keep the Epstein files sealed. We dug into whyโ€”and uncovered a tangled web linking her to Ghislaine Maxwell, her husband, a powerful donor, and big money in Alaska.

Hegseth appeared to address concerns about the meeting for the first time Friday morning, using his personal social media account. After a retired senior officer, Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, tweeted that German generals were
"called to a surprise assembly in Berlin" in 1935 and "required to swear a personal oath to the Fรผhrer," the defense secretary responded with sarcasm.
"Cool story, General," Hegseth wrote.

Good thing we didnโ€™t have Twitter in 1944, because Eisenhower would have been so distracted quote-tweeting his critics that he would have sent the D-Day troops to some sandy beach in Capri.

So now the truth is finally out, Amelia Earhart disappeared while trying to reach Epstein Island. Thanks to our hero Donny who demanded declassification of the records and we can all sleep soundly at last knowing truth and justice has prevailed.

Love my brown leather buckled Birkenstock sandals which I purchased in 2000 and are still in fashion, excellent condition and so, so comfortable. Great investment and will probably last another 25 years.

Melania's avoiding eye contact and is hiding behind her wide brimmed "don't touch me!" "spy vs spy" hat again. Very rude of her but what else could you expect from some who can barely speak English.
