Republican U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley and Democrat Lucas Kunce have waged a feisty and expensive race.

Congress ended mandatory labeling for pork and beef in 2015. Now, some livestock groups want to see labeling requirements included in the upcoming farm bill that would make it clear where livestock was born, raised and slaughtered.

After Congress passed a law that would force the sale of TikTok by its parent company or ban the platform in the U.S., creators like Wiggins are hoping for the best and preparing for the worst, flocking to other video-based platforms like YouTube and Instagram.

The 2-page proposal states that beginning in the 2026 federal elections, a candidate running to represent a congressional district in Missouri may do so only if they live in that district.

The two Republicans have comparable but diverging paths to advancing the interests of constituents of Illinois and the 12th Congressional District. U.S. Rep. Mike Bost, R-Murphysboro, is aiming to hold off his challenger, former Illinois state Sen. Darren Bailey, R-Xenia, in their primary.

Politicians, judges and billionaires, as well as private citizens and business groups, are helping to fund the 2024 campaigns of U.S. Rep. Mike Bost and former state senator Darren Bailey.

The St. Charles County Republican first ran for Congress nearly 16 years ago, losing a primary to eventual victor Blaine Luetkemeyer, who is retiring.

The St. Louis County Democrat said she received a federal subpoena Monday about her campaign spending related to her security.

Pritzker joined in on a letter penned by Democratic governors who said political machinations are delaying much-needed help for their states and cities. They urged the passage of President Joe Biden’s $110 billion request for wartime aid and border security.

“I think he was pretty animated," U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Hollywood, Fla., said. "I don’t know if I would describe it as a lunge."
