Stephen Miller and then-Katie Waldman arrive for the State Dinner with Australian PM Morrison on Sept. 20, 2019 in Washington, DC. “ICE are heroes,” an outraged Miller responded to the sketch on X.Miller ended her appearance on Hannity with another verbal eye roll aimed at the Constitution.

Multiple yellow rain warnings are in place across the UK today (Friday, 6 February), too. Which begs the question: why is the rain so relentless, and when oh when will it end? This drives areas of low pressure north-east up to the UK, and is partly caused by a large range of temperatures across the Atlantic Ocean right now.

In fact, the Met Office’s long-range forecast says that even as far away as 6 March, “low pressure systems will probably dominate” the UK.

U.S. Justice Department/ReutersThe chumminess among some of the gilded people in Epstein’s circle has landed at an acutely populist moment. The latest tranche of Epstein files is screaming evidence that there is work to be done and that previous generations had fallen down on the job. Some of the leading figures in the last round of Epstein files had gotten away with the tiniest of reputational stains. The Epstein files featured casually misogynist language in which girls, real and grown, were assessed by the size and aesthetic quality of their body parts. Virginia Giuffre, only 16 when she got caught up in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, is now dead by suicide.

True authoritarians go much further, but Mr. Trump has already undone the post-Watergate depoliticization of the Justice Department. The Trump administration is conducting a military-style operation in an American city under dubious pretenses. The true goal seems to be instilling fear in people who oppose Mr. Trump’s agenda. Mr. Trump’s recent predecessors were not perfect on this issue, but he has reached another level. The Trump administration has sought to manipulate government information by, among other things, sidelining scientific experts.
