Stephen Miller will work closely with Susie Wiles, who was just named as the next White House chief of staff. Vice President-elect J.D. Vance referred to the selection of Miller as, quote, another fantastic pick. Miller, who served as senior advisor in the first Trump administration, is best known for his role as a key architect of some of the Trump administration's strongest immigration plans.
Once leaving the White House, Miller went on to start America First Legal, a nonprofit that aimed to serve as a conservative version of the ACLU. It worked with conservative lawyers who filed hundreds of lawsuits and legal demands on behalf of conservative causes and against Democrats. Franco Ordonez, NPR News.

Podesta says the country's transition away from fossil fuels has started with tens of billions of dollars allocated and won't be reversed. Jeff Brady, NPR News.
