In today's episode of Resistance Live, Elizabeth Kronise McLaughlin unpacks the disturbing rise of Stephen Miller's media presence—and what it signals about who's really running the executive branch as Trump's health and coherence continue to spiral. She connects the dots between Miller, Elon Musk, Russ Vought, and the alarming decisions driving illegal military actions in the Caribbean and U.S. cities.

Elizabeth also breaks down the truth behind the weekend's court rulings on National Guard deployments to Portland and Chicago, debunking mainstream media misreporting and explaining exactly what the law allows. From the shocking warrantless raids in Chicago to ICE's expanded social media surveillance, she reveals how authoritarian tactics are deepening—and what activists can do to push back.

Plus, she shares insight into the latest DOJ hearings, the firebombing of a state judge's home, and her own reflections on burnout, information overload, and the urgent need for sustainable activism.
