Todd Blanche, the DOJ is not Stephen Miller’s personal law firm. Taxpayer-funded attorneys don’t exist to shield White House officials from congressional oversight or accountability. You’re the Attorney General, not Miller’s defense attorney. There’s a fucking difference.
Blanche: You have Garcia saying, “lawyer up.” Stephen Miller has a lawyer. It's me, it's me and the entire DOJ.

This was Scott Colom's last political ad before the Tuesday election in Mississippi. It shows why he should win the race for Senator. No name calling. Just a rendition of history that shouldn't be forgotten and the reason to vote. #Colom #Mississippi #senator #Evers #vote #election

You know what we would love to see? Senators Abdul El-Sayed and Annie Andrews absolutely GRILLING Health Secretary RFK Jr. during an official Senate Hearing. Once they're sworn in in January, the real fun begins... El-Sayed is an MD, has a doctorate in public health, and was an assistant professor of epidemiology at Columbia. Andrews was a pediatric hospitalist and a professor of pediatric medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina. RFK is an unqualified quack who has overseen the total collapse of public health in this country, perhaps most notably with the anti-vaxxer wave that he helped popularize and the subsequent measles outbreak he failed to contain. Andrews has already vowed to "lead the charge to impeach and remove RFK Jr." and she has good reason to want him gone. Her home state of South Carolina was hit especially hard by measles, with nearly 1,000 documented cases that resulted from parents failing to vaccinate their children. Imagine the finely-tuned, expert questions that these two would be able to hammer him with. At every turn, Kennedy's profound ignorance and negligence would be put on display. Picture him spluttering and growing redder as his humiliation mounts. It's exactly what this monster deserves. Democrats, make it happen! Please ❤️ and share if you'd LOVE to see this happen!

We're on the ground in Mississippi, and we're not backing down. Today, we sent a letter to the County Election Clerk on behalf of voters, because every vote must be counted according to the law. Mississippi showed up. Now, we're showing up for Mississippi.

Merci bien, Monsieur Le President.
🇫🇷Macron: "When we are serious, we do not say the opposite of what we said the day before. Perhaps we should not speak every day. We are basically dealing with an Idiot." Bro indirectly telling Trump that he is a big clown.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of government employees and taxpayer-funded resources to create a self-promoting video attacking Democrats and other political opponents probably violated federal law, government watchdogs said. wapo.st/3UDCpdJ

Nothing to see here. Just Trump appointing his own Joseph Goebbels as Chief of Staff. Put Stephen Miller beside the original Nazi propaganda minister and the resemblance is uncanny. If this isn't a five-alarm warning, what the fuck is?

BREAKING: IT’S MILLER TIME! Trump OUSTS Susie Wiles and makes Stephen Miller his new Chief of Staff. After the disastrous Republican performance in the midterm elections, the nation has been waiting to see which of Donald Trump’s White House advisors would be the one to be saddled with the blame and be unceremoniously shown the door. Today, Trump made his decision, ousting his long-time Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, and replacing her with Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. Naturally, the announcement of the change came through a post on Truth Social: ““I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026,” Trump wrote on Truth Social “Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation,” he continued. “I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!” Some political analysts found Trump’s decision astonishing, considering that Miller has been the main architect of the violent immigration crackdown that led to the death and detention of U.S. citizens by wildly undertrained ICE agents and the brutal deportation of thousands of non-violent undocumented refugees who were contributing crucial labor and tax dollars to our society. Being rewarded with a promotion hardly seems to make sense after all the damage Miller has caused to the nation as well as to the reputation of the administration both here at home and abroad. Given that even many Republicans were shocked by the cruelty of the crackdown, it is pretty easy to attribute at least a portion of the massive blue wave that swept the country to a reaction against Miller’s extremist policies. Wiles may have enabled many of Trump’s most egregious actions during his second term, but somehow never seemed as downright evil as Miller, who has all the charm of a puppy killer without the good looks of that notorious canine killer, ICE Barbie Kristi Noem. Wiles at least pretended to be the adult in the room at the While House, which will now likely spiral down even further into hatred and retribution under the man whose immigration policies would fit right in in 1930s Germany. Let’s hope that Miller’s tenure in his new position is brief and cut short by the massive wave of Congressional investigations once the Democrats take over in January. Please like and share to spread the news!

In 1942, a drunk German officer sat at dinner and bragged about the Jewish woman he had selected from the brothel the Nazis had forced open in town. He said her name out loud. The Tunisian Arab sitting across from him stayed calm, smiled, poured more wine, and finished the meal. Then he drove the officer home, sped through the dark streets, and knocked on a door close to midnight. That night, he hid 25 people for four months. He never spoke about it again. His name was Khaled Abdul-Wahab. He was 31 years old, a wealthy Muslim Tunisian who had studied art and architecture in New York and spoke fluent German. Nazi officers trusted him. They invited him to their dinners. Tunisia was the only Arab country directly occupied by Nazi Germany during the war. Jewish families were pushed from their homes. More than 5,000 Jewish men were sent to forced labor camps. Yellow stars marked every chest. That December night in the coastal town of Mahdia, Khaled listened as the officer boasted. The woman he named belonged to a family Khaled had known all his life. He left immediately. He drove through the night. He knocked on their door at midnight. Pack nothing. Come now. He gathered 25 people — mothers, fathers, cousins, and children — and drove them nearly 20 miles to his family farm, hiding them inside the olive press, stables, and storage buildings. This was not one brave act. It was four straight months of courage. He fed them while supplies grew scarce. He kept babies quiet. He trusted his servants to stay silent. When German soldiers arrived to count Jewish families, the hidden people pinned yellow stars onto their clothes and stood motionless. When the soldiers left, the stars came off again. One night, a drunken soldier wandered onto the farm and discovered them. An eleven-year-old girl hiding under a bed watched him laugh and threaten to kill everyone there. Then Khaled appeared. She remembered him her entire life as a guardian angel. He calmly walked the soldier outside, took away his weapon, and sent him off the property. Nobody on that farm died. In May 1943, British forces liberated Tunisia. All 25 people returned home alive. Khaled went back to a quiet life. He married, raised daughters, painted, and worked in government service. He never told anyone what he had done. Not his wife. Not his children. No one. He died on September 4, 1997, at the age of 86. His story was buried with him. Ten years later, his daughter Faiza was sitting in a café in Paris reading a Sunday newspaper when she came across an interview with an American historian describing a Tunisian Arab who had hidden 25 Jews in 1942. The historian mentioned her father by name. She was 45 years old and had never heard the story before. She contacted the historian. One of the children saved on the farm had left behind 83 pages of testimony before her death. Every detail matched. “I rediscovered my father,” Faiza later said. Khaled was nominated for Israel’s highest honor given to non-Jews who saved Jewish lives. He would have been the first Arab to receive it. The committee declined, saying he had not risked his own life enough. Faiza answered with a line history should never forget: “My father opened his home to Jews. They did not open theirs to us.” Today, the 25 people Khaled saved have hundreds of descendants living across Israel, France, America, and Tunisia. The little girl hidden beneath the bed grew up, moved to Paris, and built a family of her own. None of them would exist if Khaled had stayed silent that night. He had everything to lose. He acted anyway. Then he spent the rest of his life saying nothing about it. The world nearly forgot him twice. Now you know his name.
