Beauty Queen Accuses MAGA Congressman Ex of Threatening to Leak Her Nude Videos
A reigning Miss United States beauty pageant winner has accused a Florida MAGA Republican of harassment and of threatening to leak sexual videos of her following their breakup. Lindsey Langston filed a police report in July against Rep. Cory Mills, alleging he continued to contact her after their three-year relationship ended and warned he would go after her future boyfriends, Blaze Media and Drop Site News first reported. Langston, who is also a Florida Republican state committee member, filed her complaint against the GOP lawmaker with the Columbia County Sheriff's Office and included screenshots of messages from Mills to back up her claims. The report was sent to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for review. 'Since February 20th of 2025 Cory has contacted Lindsey numerous times on numerous different accounts threatening to release nude images and videos of her, to include recorded videos of her and Cory engaging in sexual acts,' the police report said, via Drop Site News. A spokesperson for Mills told the Daily Beast the allegations are 'just another sorry attempt to smear Mills as he continues to be a champion for the people.' 'Just like Trump was constantly barraged with baseless accusations, patriots like Mills will continually be hit,' the spokesperson added. Langston and Mills started dating in November 2021 while the congressman was separated from his wife, and the pair moved in together last year. Langston said she broke up with Mills in February 2025 after reading reports that police were called to Mills' Washington, D.C., apartment to investigate an alleged assault against another woman he was dating. Sarah Raviani later retracted her allegations against Mills, and he was never charged. Langston, who was crowned Miss United States in Memphis last October while representing her home state as Miss Florida, said Mills began his harassment campaign after they broke up, including allegedly threatening to release revenge porn. 'The threats from Cory intensified over time,' Langston told Drop Site. 'From emotional manipulation, to physical violence against whoever I date in the future, to threats of having me stripped of the Miss United States crown… something I worked extremely hard for and a dream that was placed in my heart long before I even knew who Cory Mills was.' Messages included in the police report, seen by Blaze Media, allegedly include Mills telling Langston, 'You want to date or be with someone else. Be my guest. But they need to know well in advance that if we cross paths, I don't care this week, this month, or this decade. They better damn well know it's coming every time.' In another message, he allegedly warned, 'I can send him a few videos of you as well,' and 'Oh, I still have them.' Mills is accused of sending that message on May 19, the same day that President Donald Trump signed the Take It Down Act—which Mills supported in the House, and which makes it an offense to release any nonconsensual intimate imagery or revenge porn for 'intimidation, coercion, extortion, or to create mental distress.' In a statement to the Daily Beast, Mills denied the allegations and said he was unaware of any police report being filed against him. 'These claims are false and misrepresent the nature of my interactions. I have always conducted myself with integrity, both personally and in service to Florida's 7th District,' Mills said. 'Out of respect for the legal process, I won't comment further at this time. My team and I will fully cooperate to ensure the truth is made clear.' Langston's attorney, Anthony Sabatini, who ran against Mills in the GOP congressional primary in 2022, said his client has filed a restraining order against Mills. Mills also claimed to the Daily Beast that Sabatini is 'weaponizing the legal system to launch a political attack' against him and of 'using his corporate legal office to push a narrative built on lies and flawed legal arguments—all to score political headlines.' The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Beast. Solve the daily Crossword

MAGA Gloats After Elizabeth Warren, 76, Falls on Senate Floor
A video of Sen. Elizabeth Warren taking a tumble on the Senate floor has sparked ridicule in MAGA corners online. A live feed from Wednesday evening shows the 76-year-old Massachusetts Democrat lingering in the well of the Senate during a vote on President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the U.S. Marshals Service. Leaning back with arms crossed, Warren presses against a desk—only to feel it give way beneath her. She loses her balance and topples backward onto the floor. The moment sparked a rare display of bipartisan camaraderie, with a swarm of colleagues rushing to Warren's aid. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, 54, who previously suggested Warren 'could' have a penis while telling a crude joke in 2022, helps her up by the arm. Warren appears to be unhurt, tapping Cruz's hand to reassure him, before settling against a sturdier table. Other senators huddle around the desk, rocking it back and forth and reenacting the mishap in disbelief that it could falter. Warren's fall lit up MAGA social media after conservative outlet Blaze Media posted the video Thursday, with users suggesting it was a sign of her age and calling for her retirement. 'Boom! Pocahontas herself, Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, just took a nasty fall on the Senate floor. Perhaps it's time for her to retire?' the media website Conservative Brief wrote, using the derogatory nickname Trump, 79, has used to reference Warren's past claims of Native American heritage. MAGA podcaster Benny Johnson wrote, 'Yikes. Down she goes.' Ian Miles Cheong, the Elon Musk-loyalist and right-wing commentator, lamented, 'It's too bad Elizabeth Warren didn't fall on her face.' The Senate ultimately voted to advance the confirmation of Gadyaces Serralta as director of the U.S. Marshals Service. Warren joined 38 other Democrats in voting against Serralta, the current U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Florida. Earlier in the day, Warren voted for two resolutions introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders, 83, aimed at blocking arms sales to Israel, joining roughly half of Senate Democrats. With Republicans unified in opposition, both measures failed to pass. While Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, 53, sent the lower chamber home early for summer recess in order to avoid a showdown over the Jeffrey Epstein files, Senate GOP leadership is rushing to speed through Trump nominee confirmations. The Daily Beast has reached out to Warren's office for comment.

Boebert questions if US moon landing was real as bizarre ‘tin-foil hat' interview goes off the rails
Republican firebrand Lauren Boebert questioned whether the U.S. moon landing was real, noting 'facts change' while discussing the wild conspiracy theory that the event was staged with Alex Stein of Prime Time with Stein on the Blaze media network. In a segment seemingly just to discuss conspiracy theories, Stein kicked it off, telling Boebert, 'I think nuclear weapons are a lie!' To which she replied, 'Where's my tin foil?' While discussing the moon landing, the Colorado representative remarked, 'I wasn't alive either when we went to the moon–' before Stein cut her off to say, 'And that was fake too. Thank you! No, time out, Congresswoman. Now we really can talk. Now, we're vibing. First of all,' Mediaite first reported. Boebert then jokingly responded, 'Oh, God, here we go. Denver Post, ready for this headline?' 'Real quick, 1969 through 1972, the Apollo Moon missions, they were able to go through the Van Allen radiation belt. But let me just tell you, right now we have the International Space Station that is roughly 200–' Stein said. 'It's not beyond the Van Allen radiation belt, it's within it–' Boebert began to say as Stein clarified, 'The moon is past the Van Allen radiation belt.' 'No, no, no–the International Space Station,' Boebert responded, before Stein attempted to figure out how much further the moon is from the International Space Station. 'This isn't a financial seminar. My point is, we were able to go to the moon 1,000 times farther in 1969, but the current technology that we have, we cannot go past low-Earth orbit. Even Barack Obama said that, and that is the International Space Station. And half the time, we can't even go to the damn International Space Station because Joe Biden doesn't want to do auto-pay and give him, you know, an evacuation right out of there. So I think the moon landing's provably false,' Stein said, before adding, 'Am I smoking too much Delta-9, Congresswoman?' Boebert didn't shoot down Stein's wild conclusion, instead responding, 'You know, Alex, that's an interesting concept, and maybe we can have a classified briefing at some point,' she said, to which Stein agreed, 'I would love that.' 'Certainly, I love to explore all the different things. You know, Tucker Carlson once thought that Building 7 just collapsed,' Boebert said, referring to the debunked conspiracy theory that the fall of one of the buildings in the World Trade Center complex on September 11 was carried out by the U.S. government. 'Now he says emphatically that he was a part of the propaganda that led to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. So, you know, I mean, things change, facts change,' Boebert added. The Colorado Republican noted that this was why she loves Jesus and the Bible, noting 'that is truth and that is everlasting and that's something that will never change.' 'God is not a liar, but you know, there is a father of lies, and the Bible talks all about him. And unfortunately, we've seen time and time again where politicians are in office and deceive the American public,' she said. Boebert then questioned: 'And so I don't know, have we been beyond the Van Allen radiation belt? Maybe?' 'If so, I would like to know why it's taken so long to get back through it again. But, you know, here we are, and we'll see what Artemis and the Orion spacecraft have to do when they try to take a crewed spaceship back out there in just a year or two.'

He said he had a happy childhood, even though his parents split when he was about four or five. Whitlock said he was always an Indiana Pacers fan and growing up there was no ESPN, which meant he had to keep up with his team through the local newspaper. Whitlock became an avid reader of the sports section and when he got a football scholarship to Ball State University, his plan was to be an accountant. 'A friend said 'Hey, dude, you love sports, you love reading the sports section, you should become a sportswriter.' And so I switched my major first semester of freshman year to journalism.'
