Fun fact: I just published the full story on this topic mere minutes ago. By my count, at least 12 pastors, seminarians & former clergy have launched campaigns for federal office this year, and 5 are already nominees. In response, the GOP is attacking their faith. religionnews.com/2026/08/04/p...

(RNS) — 'It's a sign that they are really scared they're gonna lose this seat,' the Rev. Sarah Trone Garriott, a Lutheran pastor running for Congress in Iowa, said. She is part of a wave of religious ...

A few overlooked details from my July 18 piece on Rep. Max Miller—threading them below. 🧵 www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
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.

Everyone who is talking about this story should be reading Abby‘s original version. She actually read through over 1000 pages of court documents, and she did it first. And shamefully, some large outlets have chosen to not credit her (@nytimes.com)
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3w agoRep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) previously denied a report, also alleged in court records, that he pushed a girl down a flight of stairs in high school. But the woman recently told me the alleged incident remains "one of the more traumatic nights of my life." Inside the investigation: ow.ly/8xU450ZpaNp
Does anybody have any questions about my reporting on Congressman Max Miller and the allegations he faces?
And this is why we should cite Abby’s reporting and not other news outlets aggregating it 🙂
Abby Vesoulis@abbyvesoulis.bsky.social · 3d agoI first got 1000+ pages of court documents from Miller & Moreno's custody case. Anybody can request these from Cuyahoga County. I reviewed those by myself, one by one—no AI involved!—and the filings pointed to police reports. I then sought those out separately and spent days combing through them.

I'm not surprised Pirro had to dismiss the reflecting pool case. Here is a video showing workers appearing to pick at the peeling coating on April 27, while they were still installing it.
amanda moore 🐢@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social · 3mo agoAlready have another update on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. They are painting over the bright blue that Doug Burgum originally shared. Unclear if the brighter blue is some kind of primer and this was always the plan, or if they changed the color.
Throwback to when I was living at the reflecting pool.
