This week on CounterSpin: Calls are coming in for the resignation of Trump policy advisor Stephen Miller, after leaked emails show him promoting white nationalist books and ideas to the far-right outlet Breitbart. I wouldn't call the documents a "smoking gun"; the smoking gun is the 70,000 migrant children held in US government custody over the past year. The emails just reveal the recipe—invoking the same warped "Great Replacement" ideas you'll find in the manifesto of a mass shooter, for example. We'll talk with the investigative reporter behind the story, Michael Edison Hayden from Southern Policy Law Center's Hatewatch.

Also on the show: Quick question: What happened to Katie Hill? If you're like many, you didn't look too closely: something something nudes, something throuple....  And the next thing you know, an up-and-coming young Democrat is resigning. Whatever happens with Hill, this vapors-having, best-look-away response is taking a toll, including possibly discouraging other young women, in particular, from public life. Mallory McMaster wrote about Katie Hill for Rewire.News; we talked with her about the case.
