He's doing fine.
You might have a vagrant memory of Tim Miller as that guy hired by Crooked Media to be the token Republican who would punch Trump when prompted, and then hedge it 'round with a lot of "But you've gotta understand..." piffle. That was until someone at the New York Times decided to do what Crooked Media did not do and bother to check into Miller's background.
From HuffPo a thousand years ago:
What Did ‘Pod Save America’ Expect?Shoulda used ZipRecruiter kids!
Don’t put professional Republican smear men on your liberal podcast.
...
Accepting Miller as a friendly face in liberal circles required a certain transient amnesia about what the Republican Party is and how Miller has served it. The effort of not knowing became a lot harder on Wednesday, when The New York Times published a blockbuster report that, among other unseemly details, revealed that Facebook had hired an opposition research firm to push back against anti-Facebook groups. The campaign exploited the anti-Semitism on the right, encouraging reporters “to explore the financial connections between [George] Soros’s family or philanthropies and groups that were members of Freedom from Facebook.”
The Republican operative behind the campaign was none other than Miller.
This created an awkward situation for the boys of Crooked Media. When the story first dropped, Favreau disgustedly tweeted out the paragraph about the smears, seemingly without realizing it was his buddy who had propagated them. Several hours of silence later, the official Crooked Media account announced that Miller would not be contributing to Crooked while Favreau, Lovett and Vietor got “to the bottom of Tim’s involvement in this work.”...
Anyway, I know how you all have been worrying yourself sick over Miller's fate ever since, but you needn't have because Miller now has Two!Count!'Em!Two! paying gigs: one at The Bulwark and one a The Rolling Stone, where he reports on a regular basis that [checks notes] Donald Trump is a very bad man --
Actually, the Orange Man Is Bad-- and the [checks notes again] the people who work for Donald Trump are also very bad.
Because honestly, where but in the person of a former Republican smear-monger and disgraced former Crooked Media employee could one ever expect to find anyone who could put this kind of stuff into words in exchange for money?

They all learn--one way or another--Nazis gonna Nazi. It's who they are. It's who they'll always be.
"...Nazis gonna Nazi." Has the ring of a title to a musical...They always seem so happy with the slaughter, and as the bodies pile up. But they also claim they will have it all cleaned up in a day or so and all the hills will be alive with the sound of music...
All these years after WWII. These republicans Can't even be completely loyal superior race patriots to the Confederacy and dual loyalty as a NAZI patriot.
These republicans also carry the banner stating, "I'd rather be Russian than a Democrat".
Then, their closely held religious beliefs, where their God gave down the commandment, of having no other idols of worship but he (God) himself.
Their flags should either be a sausage or a big question mark with the exclamation mark next to it, (?!). To display their "republican Ideology".
Adoring Jefferson Davis, Idolizing Hitler and praying to Trump as the chosen one.
Does cause some difficulty to reasonable address them sanely. But I think their God has a point about dividing your consciousness to multiple entities. while omitting yourself.
