Mary Miller and Fabrice Ambrosini
Posing at Mar-a-Lago with a far-right German politician.
Mary Miller, shilling
East-central Illinois’s Mary Miller (IL-15) was one of the faithful yelling outside the courthouse today.
The Santos vote
Did my member of Congress vote to expel George Santos from Congress? Of course she didn’t!
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.”
Mary Miller and the four seasons
“The farmers in my district recognize climate change as summer, winter, spring, and fall.” She doesn’t acknowledge the reality of climate change.
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.
Hitler Moms
News from Indiana, as reported in The Indianapolis Star: The Hamilton County chapter of Moms for Liberty, a national organization recently listed as an "extremist group" by a civil rights watchdog, apologized Thursday morning after it launched a newsletter called The Parent Brigade Wednesday that featured a quote from Adolf Hitler on its front cover.
A letter to Mary Miller
A response to her toxic talk about “the natural family” and “the traditional family, ordained by God.”
Mary Miller, going places
“My” representative in Congress, Mary Miller (R, IL-15) — and how I tire of having to type the quotation marks — is headed to Chicago — a city she has often reviled — for a fundraiser. It’s hardly coincidental that she just announced the creation of Congressional Family Caucus.
Another Mary Miller vote
She just voted against S. 4524, the Speak Out Act, “a bill to limit the judicial enforceability of predispute nondisclosure and nondisparagement contract clauses relating to disputes involving sexual assault and sexual harassment.”
Mary Miller’s silence
From Politico: “Rep. Mary Miller (IL-15) is the only member of the state’s Republican congressional delegation not to condemn last week’s violent attack on the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”
Yet another letter to Mary Miller
She’s scaring parents about fentanyl in Halloween candy.
Mary Miller, on it
Representative Mary Miller (R, IL-15) continues to use her official Twitter account to warn parents about the danger of fentanyl in Halloween candy. But the fear of fentanyl in Halloween candy is, according to a toxicologist and addiction specialist, “a moral panic.” And a scholar of urban legends calls Halloween fentanyl just that — an urban legend, like razor-blade-filled apples.
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.’”
Another Mary Miller vote
Mary Miller (R, IL-15), who smiles as she poses with veterans, voted against S. 3373, the Honoring our PACT Act of 2022, described as “a bill to improve the Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grant and the Children of Fallen Heroes Grant.” She was one of eighty-eight House members, all Republicans, who voted against the bill.
Another Mary Miller vote
One of just twenty “no” votes, all Republican, against H.R. 6552, the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022. As is often the case, Miller voted with the worst of the worst: Biggs, Boebert, Brooks, Gaetz (no surprise there), Gosar, Greene, &c.
Mary Miller in The Boston Globe
“So many people in power have been plainly declaring their ugliest beliefs and plans lately that it ironically has become hard to hear them all. But our collective future depends on hearing the signal in all the noise.” An opinion piece begins with House Republican Mary Miller (IL-15), and her infamous “historic victory for white life” gaffe/not-gaffe.
Another Miller vote
Mary Miller (R, IL-15) was one of just eighteen members of the House of Representatives (all Republicans) to vote against H.Res. 1130, a resolution expressing support for Finland’s and Sweden’s applications to join NATO.
Bust = flood?
Mary Miller being dumb.
A letter to our representative
“It seems to us that your willingness to protect life begins and ends in the uterus.”
Mary Miller has tweeted
Hours after the massacre in Highland Park, she tweets about monuments and statues and liberty and history. WTF, Mary?
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.
“Tenants”
Is it Christian nationalism yet? By Jove, it is.
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.
