X-energy is building a nuclear fuel plant in Fleischmann's district with a Department of Energy cost share. Between January 26 and March 11, 2026, its CEO, president, chief scientist, chief nuclear officer and 14 more colleagues wrote checks to the congressman who writes the DOE budget.
Prop. 318 would let athletes sue schools over bathrooms and locker rooms, and would reach private leagues like Little League. Arizona already bans trans girls from school sports. Biggs is running on it anyway — and if it passes, undoing it takes a three-fourths supermajority.
On April 7, 2026, Trump threatened to end an entire civilization by 8 p.m. Ohio's Dave Joyce said he doesn't speak to what the president writes on social media, called it hyperbole, and added that Iran 'needed to be stopped' and that we'd 'put this cancer to rest.'
State troopers cleared the gallery. Democrats walked out. Not one Republican rose to defend the map. Fleischmann's public reaction was gratitude — and relief that he kept his own seat.
Citizens Against Government Waste says Fleischmann pulled in more earmark money than any other House member — including the single largest earmark in Congress. He votes to cut food aid and health coverage for Tennesseans at the same time.
His staffing company was the hospital's second-largest creditor, owed nearly $10 million. His loan carries 14% interest — 19% if a payment is missed. Taxpayers put in another $80 million. And in Georgia, he opposes the Medicaid expansion that keeps hospitals like it alive.
Three Ohioans came to Joyce's D.C. office in February 2026 to lobby for trans rights. His staffer put his phone on top of the tablet he had brought to take notes, and leaned back. Two House Republicans have signed the bill to turn the shut-off LGBTQ+ youth crisis line back on. Joyce isn't one of them.
Politico reports Trump's political team asked Ohio Republicans not to pressure Miller to quit — and they scuttled the meeting that could have replaced him. Miller had started comparing his abuse allegations to Trump's own.
Trumbull Regional Medical Center closed in March 2025, putting nearly 700 people out of work and wiping out the county's only behavioral health provider. It reopened for 43 days, closed again, and surrendered its license. Joyce's one documented action was a letter to the Attorney General — seven weeks before he voted for the law taking $33 billion of Medicaid out of Ohio.
