Eight Fitzpatrick campaign ads cite Patch headlines attacking Democrat Bob Harvie. Every one was self-published by Dave Sommers, a Fitzpatrick ally who attended his June wedding, was paid by his campaign, and served a federal sentence for trafficking protected turtles.
Asked to debate her Democratic challenger in a race the challenger says a national pollster calls a dead heat, Stephanie Bice's campaign said no and pointed to her opponent's campaign debt. In 2020, when Bice needed the seat, she did at least three general-election debates. She also won't hold in-person town halls.
ICE's own mortality reviews found detention staff broke safe standards of medical care for at least six people who died in custody in 2025: no CPR for a collapsed woman, an inhaler for a man with pneumonia, a seizure patient's labs never run. The agency took the reports down after a reporter's lawyer noticed them.
The Republican attorneys general of Louisiana, Arkansas and Alabama sued California, Massachusetts and New York in the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down the laws protecting doctors who mail abortion medication, and separately sued 30 providers.

A federal judge and then a federal appeals court found the federal approval of Florida's state-run wetlands permitting program violated the Endangered Species Act. H.R. 9017, sponsored by Byron Donalds and cosponsored by six more Florida Republicans we track, would declare Florida in compliance and hand the rubber stamp back. Aaron Bean tried the same thing in 2025.
Sanders's new statewide ad features 'Brad,' a Medicaid recipient eating cheese balls and playing video games, to sell a work requirement that comes from Trump's budget bill. Arkansas already tried one: 18,000 people lost their health coverage and experts found no job gains.
As a state senator, Tom Tiffany sponsored a bill to eliminate Wisconsin's personal property tax, which the state's own fiscal analysts said would push up taxes on the average home. Tiffany has owned a billboard taxed as personal property since 1995, and didn't report it to the state Ethics Commission until 2025.
In 2025, Chesapeake Enterprises paid Collins's husband consulting fees. The firm's only lobbyist was Scott Reed, who runs the super PAC re-electing Collins and is at the center of the Navatek pay-to-play story. That same year Reed lobbied Congress for a data center developer whose billionaire chairman gave Collins $7,000.
