Defiance! November 10, 2026November 10, 2026 From a guest essay in the New York Times, by the authors of American Scoundrel, the must-read book I’ve recently plugged as “explaining everything” about Trump: There’s a new Roy Cohn in town, That new Roy Cohn is just as evil, racist, and ruthless as Cohn was and Trump is. He is Stephen Miller, Trump’s new chief of staff. Lifelong conservative Miles Taylor, former deputy chief of staff in Trump’s Department of Homeland Security writes: I worked with Stephen Miller every day. He’s going to fail. Catastrophically. The people who worked with Stephen back then will tell you the same thing I will: he’s not a stabilizer in that building. He’s an accelerant of the president’s absolute worst impulses. In addition to that post on his Defiance site — worth reading in full — Miller has made am interactive map of Washington pinpointing more than 100 instances of corruption. (Scroll down at CorruptionLand.org to see it.) And he’s made an important, compelling short film that you can watch for free. “We need a Congress again,” says Terry Moran near the end of the film. Eight weeks from now, we will have one. Lots is going on in preparation for that, including What’s Next in Denver Thursday and Friday. Everyone will be there, from Pete Buttigieg and Elissa Slotkin to James Talarico and Rob Sand, to Josh Shapiro and Josh Turek, Chris Coons, Sarah McBride, Robert Garcia, Abdul El-Sayed, Jamie Raskin, Cory Booker, Ruben Gallego — and hundreds more — all chomping at the bit for bold, effective action right out of the gate (with Speaker-elect Hakeem Jeffries there to hear it all, in case you were worried he isn’t listening). Thanks to so many of you who helped to make this possible. You’ve kept hope — and democracy — alive.
