Democrats blast ‘dangerous’ elevation of Miller as refusal to learn from the election
To congressional Democrats, Trump’s decision to promote aide Stephen Miller to serve as his chief of staff meant two things: an elevation of the aide’s extremist views and a refusal to heed the will of voters who delivered the left a historic victory.
“Stephen Miller is the architect of Project 2025, which included the push for ‘unitary executive power’ that Trump used to enrich himself and his billionaire buddies, enable the failed efforts of Elon Musk and DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency], the stripping of healthcare from millions of people, and the mass deportation agenda that led to ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] and CBP [Customs and Border Protection] killing people in the streets, separating families, locking up kids and gutting the legal immigration system,” Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration, said in a statement.

Elevating Stephen Miller is DANGEROUS and PROOF that Donald Trump learned NOTHING from the Election! Which is why it’s IMPORTANT to work WITH him and his Agenda going Forward! -Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries!

Subpoena him non stop so he can’t actually do the job. If he doesn’t show send armed officials to arrest him. I don’t see why this can’t be done. If the president can do whatever he wants laws be damned so can congress as a co equal branch.
