  1. Virginia Democratic Rep Gerry Connolly dead at 75 Congressman's family announces his peaceful passing at home surrounded by loved ones By Anders Hagstrom Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., has passed away following a bitter cancer battle, his family announced on Wednesday. The lawmaker announced his initial diagnosis with esophageal cancer more than six months ago. He was 75 years old and had stepped back from his roles in Congress at the end of April. "It is with immense sadness that we share that our devoted and loving father, husband, brother, friend, and public servant, Congressman Gerald E. Connolly, passed away peacefully at his home this morning surrounded by family," his family announced in a statement. {snip} Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., paused a House Rules Committee meeting for a moment of prayer upon learning of Connolly's death. The longtime congressman's death comes amid a heated battle in Congress over President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill." His death means Democrats have one less vote with which to block the legislation. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-democratic-rep-gerry-connolly-dead-75

  5. Sounds perfect for a democrat governor. New Jersey Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill under investigation for stock trades linked to congressional committees U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) is facing renewed criticism over her financial activities in Congress, including a reported failure to disclose up to $350,000 in stock sales and multiple trades tied to her committee assignments. Her opponent, Jack Ciattarelli launched a new website today called “Mikie Made Millions” and is actively investigating the congresswoman’s financial fortunes. When asked about these trades and her success on Wall Street, Sherrill chalked it up to being lucky. According to Business Insider, Sherrill paid a fine in 2021 for violating the STOCK Act, a federal law designed to prevent conflicts of interest by requiring lawmakers to promptly disclose stock transactions. The outlet reported she “failed to properly disclose up to $350,000 in stock sales.” https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2025/06/29/new-jersey-congresswoman-mikie-sherrill-under-investigation-for-stock-trades-linked-to-congressional-committees/
