Should Rep. Chuck Edwards resign? I asked the candidates looking to replace him. (D) Jamie Ager: Yes (R) Jennifer Balkcom: (long pause) On the fence More from my interviews next week on Spectrum News. #NC11 #ncpol

"These ads are propaganda..." Ethics experts raise alarm over taxpayer-funded ads touting @POTUS' accomplishments ahead of the #Midterms. The Administration calls them 'public service announcements' - but the latest was an ad that ran in the 2024 campaign. @SpectrumNewsDC

President Donald #Trump and top officials in his administration are refusing to rule out sending federal officers to polling sites in November. @SenatorBaldwin said it’s an attempt to sow doubts about the vote. She’s responding with legislation.

Michael Whatley says the prices are too high but he wouldn't answer when I asked him whether he would have voted for an Iran War Powers Resolution that Sen. Tillis supported yesterday. #ncsen #ncpol

SCOTUS DELIVERS WIN TO POTUS: The Supreme Court rules that states CAN USE the expanded federal database known as SAVE to hunt for noncitizens on the voter rolls. This reverses a lower court judge - who said the database 'trampled' on the privacy of citizens. @SpectrumNewsDC

Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to Washington is over. It was heavy on pageantry and light on substance. "America is very happy about this visit, and I'm sure China is very happy also," President Trump said today. But on Capitol Hill...mixed reviews.

“We had in excess of 11 or 12 sawmills independently owned ... we are the last sawmill in this county that does what we’re doing left, and to me, it breaks my heart.” In Kentucky, 78 wood industry facilities, mostly sawmills, have closed from 2022-26. spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisvi…

I am so proud to be playing for the Bad News Babes tonight during the @CWSoftballGame! The game has raised nearly $5 million for @YSCBuzz since it began. I had the chance to speak with a young survivor who has benefitted from the work YSC does - a reminder of what this game is all about. More: spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snp…

Rep. @gtwhitesides is turning up the heat on his fellow lawmakers — literally. The freshman congressman has launched his own YouTube show called "Capitol Heat," where he interviews fellow lawmakers while eating increasingly hot wings. So we invited him to our office to try it out for ourselves and put Whitesides in the hot seat. More: specne.ws/hvvunv

“Oh, it’s really getting me now.” @Rep_Whitesides is getting in on the Hot Ones trend and has launched his own show, dubbed “Capitol Heat” on YouTube to talk with fellow lawmakers about what makes them tick — all while eating incredibly hot wings. Do I have the strength to make it through? Story drops tomorrow - stay tuned!

New TSA program allows nontravelers past security, but raises safety questions “The thing you need to look at in this situation is, is it going to create more work on that screener to have more individuals coming through that checkpoint?” spectrumlocalnews.com/ga/geo…

After a federal report detailed inhumane conditions at the immigrant detention center 'Alligator Alcatraz,' Florida candidate for governor David Jolly says additional investigation is needed, while Byron Donalds says probing a closed facility would be "busywork."

Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell returns to the Senate for the first time since mid-June. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpectrumNews1KY

Members of the media have gathered outside Kentucky @SenMcConnell’s DC home. The Senate returned today, but McConnell’s staff leaving his home did not respond when asked if he would be in to vote. McConnell was last in the Senate in mid-June. @SpectrumNewsDC @SpectrumNews1KY

25 years ago today — Gordie Felt lost his brother, Ed. He was a passenger on Flight 93. Felt compared 9/11 and Ed’s death to a scab that is torn open every year. But he said this 25th anniversary presents an opportunity to “make sure people haven’t forgotten” their sacrifice.

Retired first responder Vinny Damato says his time at Ground Zero will stick with him and other workers forever. Damato, forced to retire early due to 9/11-related illness, received gifts this week of college scholarships for his kids and a putting green in his backyard.

First responders and service members carried in the American flag to mark the start of Friday’s 9/11 remembrance ceremony in Lower Manhattan.

As loved ones read the names of those lost on 9/11 during Friday’s ceremony in Lower Manhattan, a boy whose grandfather died in the attacks thanked him for blessing the city with a Knicks championship.

A woman whose husband was killed on 9/11 spoke at Friday's ceremony, calling for Saudi Arabia to be held accountable for its alleged role in the attacks. She directed her message to Vice President JD Vance, asking him to relay it to President Donald Trump.

For now, @DHSgov told me Salvadoran #TPS holders will "retain protection" despite the program expiring today. It's not an extension but does allow recipients to continue working and remain in the U.S. legally until an announcement on El Salvador’s TPS is made @SpectrumNewsDC
