Former Trump administration official Miles Taylor, who now runs DEFIANCE.org, warned in a column that he knows what follows the midterms if voters stay home.

Indeed, he said, if left to his own devices, President Donald Trump is “prepared to finish off your future.”

Taylor said he posted a scorecard in January showing that nearly all of his warnings about a second Trump term had come true. He argued that if Trump’s movement wins on Nov. 3 and Democrats fall short, Trump will believe he has unchecked power....

A former Department of Homeland Security official accused the Justice Department of threatening to "starve poor kids" to force states into mass deportations.

In a Thursday article for the Defiance Substack, former Trump DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor warned that the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel issued a legal opinion that threatens to pull federal funding from states that don't "snitch on illegal aliens," he wrote.

Under the new guideline, states that accept federal money through TANF or SSI, two welfare programs, must direct all state agencies to report suspected undocumented immigrants to DHS or risk being cut off....

Department of Homeland Security expert and whistleblower Miles Taylor warned that the Trump administration plans to use "woefully unequipped" agents for elections.

During a Tuesday appearance on CNN, Taylor responded to reports that DHS plans to launch voter fraud investigations into nine states, mostly blue states, and use Homeland Security Investigations agents to pursue leads and conduct field interviews to support prosecutorial review.

"This is complete madness," Taylor warned. "I've spent 20 years working with this department. I've worked with almost every homeland security secretary of every presidential administration of both parties, and most of them would tell you their immigration agents are absolutely, woefully unequipped to jump into an election and play a critical role in an election."...

As President Donald Trump delivers his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, before an audience on the House floor dominated by Republican members of Congress, another gathering will take place nearby: a counter-program dubbed “State of the Swamp.”

Organized by Defiance.org, State of the Swamp is billed as a live rebuttal to Trump’s sure-to-be baloney filled speech, from the National Press Club in downtown Washington, D.C.

While Trump’s official address will most likely be a diatribe of lies, smears, innuendo, and petty grievances, among other useless exaggerations by the blowhard-in-chief, State of the Swamp will bring together members of Congress, other elected officials, journalists, activists, and cultural figures. ...

A former Trump administration official says a Democratic victory in Texas’ high-stakes Senate race could trigger an effort by President Donald Trump to overturn the results — potentially involving the FBI.

Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff under Trump, outlined that scenario in an exclusive interview with Newsweek as Republican Ken Paxton faced Democratic state Rep. James Talarico.

“In particular, watch what DOJ does in Harris County on Wednesday morning,” Taylor said Tuesday. “There’s a not insignificant chance you see guys in FBI windbreakers carrying boxes out of buildings as part of a Trump effort to muck up the results.”...

Attorney General Todd Blanche just created a new problem for the Trump administration, former Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Thursday.

Blanche responded to reporters' questions about the election by refusing to rule out a scenario in which the federal government would intervene to stop states from certifying their own elections.

"People who were the election deniers in 2020, people who engaged in helping to foment that insurrection, are now working for the federal government," said Taylor, noting that it was the "goal of those insurrectionists ... to do it from the inside, not run from the outside of the building."...
