Trump is now using the government shutdown to push more mass layoffs — further damaging Virginia’s economy.

That’s an egregious attack on Virginia jobs.

The Trump administration's attacks on Gateway Tunnel funding are an attack on New Jersey's economy, commuters, and nearly 100,000 jobs.

And still, Jack refuses to stand up to Donald Trump.

Republican-held seat AZ-01 is ranked TOSS-UP. But incumbent David Schweikert (R) is stepping down to run for governor (which is also ranked TOSS-UP).

The loss of the Republican incumbent could improve the Democrat’s chances of flipping this seat in 2026.

The National Archives admitted a technician had erred in releasing Rep. Mikie Sherill's "entire record."
