A Mother Jones investigation found that Rep. Max Miller answers people who talk about the abuse allegations against him with threats — cease-and-desist letters to TV stations and a Democratic organizer, emails warning his ex-wife's lawyer he'd go public about a murder case, and a text to his ex-father-in-law, Sen. Bernie Moreno.
Konstantin Sokolov gave to Trump's White House ballroom days before his company asked Treasury for a license to get around Russia sanctions. He got it in 10 weeks, used it to buy a copper mine from a sanctioned Russian bank, and was put in charge of $201 million in State Department money. FEC records show he also gave to committees raising money for Susan Collins, Pete Ricketts, Dan Sullivan, Vivek Ramaswamy and six more Republicans on this site.
Billionaire Glenn Dubin, whom an Epstein accuser named under oath, gave $6,600 to Vivek Ramaswamy's presidential campaign and $100,000 to the super PAC backing it. When Fox News reported it, Ramaswamy's campaign said it would give away the $6,600. The super PAC kept the $100,000 — and when it shut down, it sent its last $116,816 to the committee that is now V-PAC, the super PAC backing Ramaswamy for Ohio governor.
States Newsroom asked Senate candidates in nine close races what they'd do about the automatic Social Security cut coming in 2032. Dan Sullivan, Roger Marshall, Michael Whatley and Jon Husted didn't respond. Ken Paxton, Mike Rogers and Ashley Hinson offered promises with no plan — weeks after Paxton was recorded telling lobbyists 'we have to suck it up' on spending cuts.
Jim Jordan has been in Congress since 2007 and every one of his 30 bills died in committee. Chuck Fleischmann's Cherokee land bill has passed the House five times and never once cleared the Senate. They are two of 15 Republicans on this site who have never had a bill they sponsored become law.
Vivek Ramaswamy's new ad uses a prostate-cancer patient to defend his drug-company record. Cleveland.com's fact-check found three claims in it are lies: the patient is talking about a different drug than the one Acton criticized, Big Pharma didn't pass on it, and Ramaswamy's company sold out before it ever reached patients.
V-PAC, the $42 million super PAC funded mostly by billionaires to elect Vivek Ramaswamy, mailed Ohio voters a flyer whose lead claim about Amy Acton is false. Its spokesman called it a 'typo.'
Asked his role in passing House Bill 6, the FirstEnergy bailout at the center of Ohio's largest bribery scandal, Jon Husted said 'None.' FirstEnergy's own texts say otherwise, and every meeting on his official calendar the day it became law is redacted.
Ramaswamy appeared at Liberty Valley Church in Northfield last December and again in May, alongside a pastor who compared COVID rules to Nazi Germany and whose members protested outside a Jewish lawmaker's home. The Ohio Jewish Caucus says he 'should not remain silent.'
