WHITE HOUSE SHAKE-UP: Stephen Miller to replace Susie Wiles as chief of staff.

Stephen Miller has been the primary architect of the Trump administrations’ immigration agenda, driving both first-term policies (2017–2021) and second-term enforcement (2025–present) through direct policy design, executive-order drafting, and operational pressure on agencies. First Term (2017–2021)Miller shaped the travel bans on several Muslim-majority and other countries, the zero-tolerance policy that led to the separation of more than 5,600 children from parents or caregivers at the border (formally ended after public and political backlash, though reunification remained incomplete for some families), sharp cuts to refugee admissions (down to a record-low 15,000 for FY2021), the public-charge rule limiting legal immigrants who might use benefits, and various asylum and visa restrictions. He was widely described by former officials and reporters as the key White House driver pushing these measures.Second Term (2025–2026)As Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Adviser, Miller set ambitious targets (including 3,000 ICE arrests per day), expanded interior enforcement beyond priority criminals into communities, workplaces (e.g., day-labor sites), and immigration courts, and helped devise the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for rapid removals (including of some Venezuelans to El Salvador’s CECOT prison). He also advanced efforts to restrict or end birthright citizenship for certain children (partially blocked by courts), ended Temporary Protected Status for over a million people from multiple countries, and cut refugee admissions further (to 7,500 for FY2026 with prioritization shifts).He is reported to have drafted or edited many (or most) of Trump’s executive orders and exerted daily operational pressure via conference calls with agencies. Measurable Outcomes
  • Border encounters: Southwest border Border Patrol apprehensions fell to roughly 99,000 in FY2026 (a ~95% drop from Biden-era peaks of 1.8–2.2 million annually), with the first full fiscal year of zero Border Patrol releases and 17 consecutive months of zero releases by late 2026. Nationwide encounters also hit historical lows. 
  • Interior enforcement and removals: ICE arrests rose sharply (quadrupling or more in some analyses), including large increases in people without criminal convictions. Formal deportations and returns reached hundreds of thousands in the first 18 months (reports cite figures around 620,000–980,000 depending on definitions and inclusions of voluntary departures), higher than recent prior years but below the administration’s 1 million-per-year goal and historical peaks (e.g., ~1.86 million in 2000). 
  • Other: Reduced refugee and legal immigration pathways; increased detention capacity utilization.
Broader Effects and Controversies

Supporters and administration officials credit the policies with historic border security gains, deterrence of illegal entries, and increased removals of unauthorized immigrants. Critics highlight family separations’ lasting harm, due-process concerns (especially with wartime statutes), aggressive street operations that produced high-profile incidents (including fatal shootings in Minneapolis that prompted tactical adjustments), expansion of enforcement to non-criminals, labor-market effects, and public backlash that contributed to 2026 midterm losses for Republicans. Many policies faced court injunctions. Miller has also influenced non-immigration areas, including tariffs, opposition to diversity initiatives, transgender-related policies, and aspects of foreign policy (e.g., Caribbean interdiction efforts).As incoming Chief of Staff (effective November 9, 2026), he is expected to intensify these priorities, relying more heavily on executive action amid a Democratic-controlled Congress. His impact has been transformative on U.S. immigration enforcement—shifting it toward greater restriction and interior mass removal—while generating sustained legal, humanitarian, and political debate.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper joins 'America Reports' to discuss military strategy and threats to the Strait of Hormuz post-midterms.

 

When you think you cannot accomplish something, please think about George Washington. When you read about what he did, most people think he accomplished the impossible.



Despite having little experience in commanding large, conventional military forces, Washington’s strong leadership presence and fortitude held the American military together long enough to secure victory at Yorktown and independence for his new nation.

Unlike the successful Siege of Boston, the efforts to defend the city of New York ended in near disaster for the Continental Army and the cause of independence.
In what proved to be the largest battle of the Revolutionary War in terms of total combatants, Washington’s forces on August 22, 1776, were flanked out of their positions atop the Gowanus Heights (part of today’s modern Brooklyn) and soundly defeated by William Howe's roughly 20,000 man force on Long Island.

It was during these dark days at the close of 1776 that Thomas Paine’s words from the recently published American Crisis rang most true:

“These are the times that try men’s souls…the summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

New Study Shows That The Universe Might Be A Rotating Black Hole

Have you ever considered that everything you know—the planets, stars, galaxies, and even you—might actually exist inside an enormous black hole? 

What if the universe we call home is merely the interior of a cosmic leviathan, swallowing light from another reality we can never directly observe? For decades, black holes have captured our imagination as cosmic monsters devouring everything in their path, where even light cannot escape their gravitational clutches. 

Recent discoveries are forcing scientists to consider an extraordinary possibility: that our entire universe might itself be a black hole. This isn't science fiction, it's a serious scientific hypothesis with growing evidence behind it.





The observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, based on current measurements and its expansion since the Big Bang 13.8 billion years ago. The total universe's size is unknown; it could be finite, possibly 7 trillion light-years across or much larger, or even infinite. These estimates come from cosmic inflation models, but no direct evidence confirms the total size. 

The Hubble tension, a debate over the universe's expansion rate, adds uncertainty but doesn't change the observable universe's size. Large structures like the Hercules–Corona Borealis Great Wall, spanning 10 billion light-years, fit within the observable universe. Future observations may clarify the total size.




Is the edge of our universe an event horizon on a black hole in some other universe?
