Several Democratic members of Congress are requesting the House Ethics Committee investigate Congressman Max Miller (R-OH) over allegations that he assaulted his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and possibly injured their child.
Sen. Bernie Moreno has reportedly said that he doesn't "know" if Rep. Max Miller should stay on the ballot after Moreno's daughter accused Miller of domestic abuse. A trove of court and police records obtained by Mother Jones details allegations of physical abuse, drug use, and misogyny.
Assault, misogyny, verbal threats: Records detail new allegations against Rep. Max Miller
Police reports and filings in a bitter custody dispute raise new questions about the conduct of an Ohio Republican as he campaigns for a third term.

(202) 224-2315 I welcome all to call Moreno's office and let him know, if he is such a "tough guy", why isn't he defending his daughter against the politician (his son in law) (Rep. Max Miller) who physically harmed her? and his granddaughter. and tell him to clean up his potty mouth.
A patient froze to death on the roof of an Illinois hospital. The hospital, which had been experiencing staffing and budget cuts, then lied about Chelsea Adolphus’ death—twice. Who’s to blame?
A for-profit hospital slashed costs. Then a patient froze to death on its roof.
A little-known company grew on promises to save distressed hospitals. Instead, it sunk them into financial chaos.

Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) long maintained he wasn't impaired during a 2011 crash. But newly obtained toxicology reports reveal he had MDMA and Klonopin in his system. It's part of a 2,000-page trove of records we obtained about Miller, who is currently running for a third term.

The Tates manage to use their legal troubles to further bolster their infamy and as vehicles for continuing to build their wealth.
Every time the Tates get arrested, their media empire kicks into gear
The online ecosystem they’ve created whirs into action to lie, twist, rebut, confuse, and profit.

Gather 'round children. It's time to tell the second chapter of the sordid Tale of Two Bridges.
Beyond words from this President’s own vanity. First Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales, and Sgt. Michael Swinton deserve to be recognized for their service.

Jim Haggerty dares to ask the tough questions and get the tough answers on the tough topics. Tune in tonight to hear THE TRUTH.
July 25th will now be known statewide in Illinois as a Day of Reflection and Remembrance for Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley. We understand here in our state that we cannot build a more just future if we are unwilling to confront the injustices of our past.
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF. This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy. Every member of Congress must vote NO.
I was in business and an environmentalist before I became governor. I know that we can create jobs while protecting the world around us.
Happy Infowars Day everyone. Please watch this instead of the president.
WELCOME TO THE REAL INFOWARS

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

DOJ subpoenas New York Times reporters after Air Force One story
The NYT said Trump opted against taking his Qatari-donated Air Force One over security concerns—and that a senior FBI official asked them not to publish the story.

When I took office, we set out to change the trajectory of Illinois by restoring fiscal responsibility, investing in our people, and rebuilding confidence in our state. Our work is paying off — and businesses are taking notice.
The Trump regime is stonewalling New Mexico's probe of the Epstein ranch. It doesn't want us to know the whole truth about Trump's longtime friend who raped children and whether there's more evidence of Trump's involvement.

Consider this my call, Mr. President: Instead of spending $100 billion dollars bombing innocent children in your illegal wars, invest in healthcare, jobs, education, housing, transportation, and environmental justice. I challenge you to do just that.
The Roberts Court is predictable. Not because it follows the law, but because it never passes an opportunity to push its ideological vision. Once you know where Roberts and his colleagues want the country to go, you can figure out how almost every relevant case will end.
This Supreme Court term was about weakening democracy
The justices shifted power from minorities and Congress to the president and themselves.

What was once common sense is now the absurd under Trump. These dangerous weapons of war were taken off the streets to save lives. Here in Illinois, we took a stand against the gun lobby to keep communities safe with our assault weapons ban — and we’ll keep taking a stand.
