Mary Miller, shilling
East-central Illinois’s Mary Miller (IL-15) was one of the faithful yelling outside the courthouse today.
Illinois-15 in The Washington Post
“Political scientists and analysts said that when state Democrats packed so many conservatives into a single district, they created the environment for [Mary] Miller to win despite holding views that are out of step with most general-election voters in Illinois and even with most GOP House members.”
Plenty of nothing
Champaign-Urbana’s News-Gazette reports that millions in federal money are going to projects in downstate Illinois. But nothing for Mary Miller’s congressional district.
What’d I do, NYT?
I am disappointed to see that a comment I left this morning on the New York Times article about dfp-supporting politicians and "devil terms" has still not made it online. Humph.
Mary Miller in The New York Times
Ms. Miller’s inflammatory words underscore the extent to which polarizing rhetoric is now entrenched among Republicans in the House of Representatives, especially among those like Ms. Miller who voted against certifying the Biden victory, according to an examination by The New York Times of partisan language over the past 10 years.
Mary Miller, the veteran’s friend
She voted against The Food Security for All Veterans Act.
A letter to “my” representative
I don’t expect an answer. But I take pleasure in writing to “my” representative. She won’t read it, but someone in her office might. And might then have something to think about.
Where’s Mary?
“When reporters repeatedly asked IL GOP chair Don Tracy about her absence at the rally, he responded, ‘I don’t know where Mary Miller is.’”
Rodney Davis vs. Mary Miller
The New York Times has an article about their primary contest.
Miller White Life?
Mary Miller calls the end of Roe v. Wade a “historic victory for white life.”
Feeding kids
It’s no surprise to me to learn that Mary Miller (R, IL-15) is one of just forty-two members of the House of Representatives who voted on Thursday against the Keep Kids Fed Act of 2022, created to help fund meal programs throughout the year. Miller is zealous about prohibiting abortion and allowing unlimited access to weapons. Not so zealous about feeding children.
Mary Miller, lying
Congresswoman Mary Miller (R, IL-15) questions Dr. Miguel Cardona, Secretary of Education and offers a crazy quilt of lies and irrelevancies ending in a self-own.

Mary Miller again
For a third time, Representative Mary Miller (R, Illinois-15) appears in The New Yorker (January 31). She’s mentioned in Jane Mayer’s long, revealing article about Virginia Thomas, the hard-right activist married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
Mary Miller in The New Yorker
When the Republican members did address the matter at hand, it was in startlingly vitriolic terms. Representative Mary Miller, of Illinois, said that the committee’s work is “evil and un-American.” You know what’s really “evil and un-American”? Attempting to overturn an election.
Yikes
Our own Mary Miller ((R, Illinois-15) made the PBS NewsHour tonight. An unmasked Marjorie Taylor Greene sat behind her.
Mary Miller, troublemaker
In office for nearly one year, Miller hasn’t done a damn thing for the people of her district — except make us look like idiots to the world beyond “east-central Illinois.”

The Illinois House Speaker will not be meeting with her.

It’s still not known whether she has been vaccinated. If she has been, she’s keeping her (unmasked) mouth shut about it.
The Millers in Esquire
Congresswoman Mary Miller has now made it into Esquire as a member of the Sedition Caucus. Also appearing in a supporting role: her husband (and Illinois state representative) Chris. The Millers’ ignominious appearance in Esquire joins previous appearances in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair.
