Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire for issuing misleading and incendiary information that claimed immigration agents killed an armed Minnesota protestor Saturday because he wanted to "massacre" them.
But that language was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff and top Trump adviser, four sources tell Axios.
Why it matters: The episode illustrates the sheer power of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser whose dominion in the White House far exceeds his title.
His influence extends to de facto oversight of Noem, though she's a Cabinet secretary who technically outranks him.
"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.
Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

ICE agents in Colorado have been leaving ace of spades cards behind when they detain someone, a psychological warfare technique the United States Armed Forces used against its mortal enemies during the Vietnam War.
If you do not think Donald Trump is at war with his country, think again.

Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them.
Remove a right, theyβll go after another. Attack a minority, theyβll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack.
Thereβs no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyoneβs crushed.

Being told that I "must have wanted this" on some cosmic karmic level, made me angrier than fundamentalist Christian schooling did - which is saying something. No mate, I didn't "want" this. Not even a little bit. Now do fuck off before I perform a ritual disemboweling to cure my "bad karma".

To the people who keep commenting on my posts saying "everyone is autistic now"... no, everyone is definitely not autistic now. But if that's what you think, it's probably because you're either autistic yourself and the way you're consuming content is telling the algorithm that...

I think "so, this is death" and wonder why I can still see through my eyes. An angel approaches with a feedback form asking how I'd rate my life (very good, good, average, bad, very bad) and I intend to tick
"average" followed by a rant then I recall your face like a cartoon treasure chest glowing with gold light, tick "very good," and in the comment box below I write
"nice job." The angel asks if I enjoyed my stay and I say "Oh yes, I'd definitely come again" and he gives me a soft look meaning "that won't be possible but thanks all the same," clicks his pen and vanishes.
This beautiful piece by Caroline Bird seems apt today.

Ravens have 17 primary wing feathers, called pinions. Crows have 16 primary wing feathers.
So the difference between ravens and crows is a matter of a pinion.
