Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is so involved in every aspect of the Trump administration’s efforts to radically reconfigure American democracy that congressional aides have reportedly begun complaining about his incessant phone calls.

Ignoring the fact that his “outreach wasn’t always welcome,” Miller would call congressional aides for lengthy, aimless conversations about illegal immigration that contained no specific requests, according to a damning new Wall Street Journal report.

One aide likened Miller to a “grandmother who wouldn’t stop talking,” and compared his phone calls to podcasts. Other aides said that Miller would call to scold them about how they had worded something in a press release or framed an issue in a social media post.

      Lmao wait hold on, really?

      E: doesn’t look to be any direct corroboration of that, but given the circumstantial evidence, I wouldn’t be entirely shocked if that’s part of what’s happening

      On May 29, 2025, CBS News revealed that Miller would leave the Trump White House, to work on a full-time basis for Musk.[15] Miller departed when Musk left and severed his communications with her husband after a dispute began between Musk and the administration wherein her husband was a close communication link.[16] [17]

            He hasn’t in years. Rumors swirl he can’t because of a botched surgery or drugs(chronic ketamine use destroys the bladder)
