On April 16 a war powers resolution failed 213-214. On May 14 the next one deadlocked 212-212, and a tie fails. Either one needed exactly one Republican to switch. Only Thomas Massie, who has no page here, voted yes both times.
Updated October 15: David Rouzer skipped a UNC Wilmington forum and Russell Fry backed out of an NAACP forum six hours before it started; Tom Cotton's only agreed debate fell through. October 12: Keith Self, asked on national TV whether he would debate, called the district 'my seat.' October 10: Cliff Bentz declined four debate invitations because accepting would make his opponent look 'credible,' Jim Pillen called debates 'theater,' and Julie Fedorchak pulled out of North Dakota's public TV debate. Earlier: Jeff Hurd declined televised debate invitations and agreed to one 30-minute session before a friendly audience instead. John McGuire says he'll debate when his opponent apologizes for raising a BlackRock sale the disclosure records in his wife's retirement account. They join fourteen Republicans we have already documented ducking the one event they can't script.

Westerman told Arkansans data centers get a 'bad rap' and that the Public Service Commission needs to be 'on their A game.' Entergy Arkansas started billing customers in June for three unfinished plants in his own district — one built to feed Google — and 23 electric-power PACs have given him $128,000.

For 52 straight weeks, a 90-year-old woman and her neighbors have stood on a Little Rock street corner in rain, heat, sleet and snow, asking their representative, MAGA Congressman French Hill, to hold a single in-person town hall.

A group called "Arkansans for Democracy and Justice" is flooding Arkansas with attack ads, but it is registered in Alabama, uses out-of-state vendors and hasn't received a single dime from actual Arkansans.
Eight Republicans on the 2026 ballot want to represent places where the paper trail — mortgages, ballots, flight records, voter rolls — keeps pointing somewhere else: Virginia, Florida, Kansas, or the next district over.
