Ben Smith: I don’t know if Stephen Miller resigns before the midterms, resigns after the midterms, or sticks around. But this feels like that moment when a president puts a lot of confidence in one adviser to steer national policy in a direction that turns out to be politically disastrous.

We already live in a surveillance state. ICE lets its agents wear masks so they can’t be identified; meanwhile, they scan our faces. They know who we are, where we’ve been, and who we’re connected to. They’re openly building a 24/7 social media surveillance operation. 1/2
