With her recent departure, Susie Wiles joins that most unenviable troop—The Scapegals. My look at Trump's willingness to jettison his top women, while largely keeping his top men. theatlantic.com/politics/202…
President Trump has shown a remarkable willingness to discard female senior administration officials when they displease him, with Susie Wiles being the latest, @AshleyRParker writes. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

NEW: Trump's new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is no longer recused from AI, space and Paramount issues, White House says. Katie Miller, his wife, quit her job at SpaceX and sold her shares today, exited her Paramount contract over the weekend. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

"The Times identified more than 110 people who had court-ordered protections and were handed over to foreign governments, only to then be passed on to home countries where they risked torture, sexual abuse or persecution — risks that have been validated by American courts."

Mississippi used data from Experian as it inactivated the registration of tens of thousands of voters. Voters and election officials told me and @yvonnewingett that the move caused chaos on election day, when some of those voters tried to vote.

Stephen Miller's promotion isn't the only reason to be skeptical of Trump's "too tough" musings. ICE still has tens of billions left to spend over the next two years. The money will drive mass deportations: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

A big, continuing topic of discussion in the Trump White House: How to force journalists to give up their sources. Reporting here:

Despite deep voter dissatisfaction with the Trump administration’s mass-deportation campaign, there don’t seem to be signs of the enforcement easing, writes @NickMiroff. theatlantic.com/politics/202…
If Susie Wiles was somewhat of a guardrail for Donald Trump, his new chief of staff is “an accelerant for a president who already has rash tendencies,” Atlantic staff writers report. They detail Stephen Miller’s rise: theatlantic.com/politics/202…

@SethKrasne , Talarico's campaign manager, is 29. The comms director, @jt_ennis , is 28. The guy who did all the digital ads & helped write Talarico's speeches, @AntonioAEsparza , is 26. (His chief of staff, who also happens to be named Gina Hinojosa, is an ancient 32.)
Meet @SethKrasne He ran one the best campaigns I have ever witnessed in my life for James Talarico. He and his team pulled off the unthinking and turned Tx blue. I was honored to be a part of his team. But all the credit goes to him and their amazing staff who shook the political world!

The lesson from Iowa and Kansas?
The winning candidates were “comfortable being a different type of Democrat,” @Lis_Smith told me. They worked hard to persuade independents and Republicans, even if “it didn’t always earn them fans online.”
