Is "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Mary Cosby running a religious cult? Former members of her church say yes.
The Daily Beast talked to some of them, and they claim she instills the fear that if anyone leaves, they will be condemned to hell. thedailybeast.com/rhoslcs-mary-c…
“It’s not a joke,” says Abby, a former member raised in the church who left age 22 in the late 1990s. “That woman is the most evil thing that ever walked this Earth. You have no idea, all those smiles and shit—that is not real.” thedailybeast.com/rhoslcs-mary-c…

"Supreme Court expansion is no longer dismissed as a crazy idea, not after six conservative justices hijacked a Texas case to ban almost all abortions in the state," writes @EleanorClift.
“Instead of sitting and whining, I want to do something,” Minnesota's @SenTinaSmith said.

On Tuesday afternoon, following reports that Trump’s top military adviser Mark Milley had formulated secret plans in case the commander in chief went “rogue” after the Jan. 6 riot, Trump rang several close associates and TV-prone political allies. thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-al…

They followed his orders as various MAGA-faithful pundits and politicians—including Ohio U.S Senate candidate Josh Mandel and several former Trump officials—dutifully echoed the “treason” charge on social media. thedailybeast.com/trump-calls-al…
