Good morning. Trump made Stephen Miller his chief of staff, Mississippi's Senate race is still too close to call, and more senior Justice Department officials headed for the exits. Here's what matters and what you can do about it.
THE BIG STORY
Trump Replaces Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller as Chief of Staff
President Trump named Stephen Miller White House chief of staff on Friday, replacing Susie Wiles days after Republicans lost control of Congress. Miller is the architect of the administration's hard-line immigration agenda, including the mass deportation campaign.
Why it matters: Many in Trump's own party blame that agenda for the midterm losses, and Sen. Thom Tillis called Miller the "worst of all possible choices." The pick signals Trump is doubling down, not changing course, as Democrats prepare to take over with subpoena power.
