Just Eight Days Left in 2025—And a Decision That Matters

There are just eight days left in 2025, and our current Flyover funding round is set to close next month. More than 60% of the round is already subscribed, and once it’s filled, this opportunity will be gone.

We don’t want our most loyal readers to look back and realize they meant to participate—but missed the window.

As we head into 2026, a bigger question we are asking our readers is:

Are we really going to enter another year with the same tired, biased, politically motivated legacy media?

More celebrity journalists chasing clicks.
More opinions disguised as reporting.
More political agendas shaping coverage instead of facts.

Or are we going to charge ahead and make a meaningful change?

The Flyover was built on a simple but increasingly rare idea:
Fact-based reporting, no political agenda, no spin, no outrage—just common-sense news for common-sense Americans.

Changing how millions of Americans get their news doesn’t happen automatically. It happens when readers step forward—not just to read, but to own and help build something better.

If you believe news should inform, not inflame…
If The Flyover has become part of your daily routine…
If you want to help shape the future of independent, fact-first journalism…

This is your opportunity to invest before the end of 2025 and before this round closes next month.

Miyares Sues Pharmaceutical Companies

Attorney General Jason Miyares has filed a lawsuit against several pharmacy benefit managers and pharmaceutical manufacturers, alleging that they unfairly inflate the price of insulin.

The companies named in the suit include Express Scripts, CVS Caremark, Optum Rx, Sanofi-Aventis, and Novo Nordisk.

“For years, a group of powerful companies artificially drove up the cost of life-saving diabetes medication,” Miyares said. “That system operated without transparency, deceived Virginians, and put profits over patients for far too long.”

The suit claims the companies violated the Virginia Consumer Protection Act. Miyares will be replaced as attorney general by Jay Jones next month.

Prisons Face Challenges

Of Virginia’s two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities, the one in Caroline County currently holds more detainees than it was designed for, while the Farmville Detention Center is within two dozen detainees of full capacity, according to the group TRAC Immigration.

An unrelated federal lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a corrections officer and the widow of Jeremy Hall, a master corrections officer killed at work last month. The suit asked a judge to place the Virginia Department of Corrections under court oversight, with a lawyer stating that the corrections agency “has proven it cannot police itself.”

Elsewhere, a 102-page audit from the Office of the State Inspector General, ordered by Gov. Glenn Youngkin, found that the Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center did not thoroughly document wellness checks, substance use therapy, and emergency drills. 

Trump Halts Coastal Virginia Wind Project

The Trump administration froze leases for five wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project. The stock of Dominion Energy plunged nearly 4% after the pause was announced.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum claimed that the freeze “addresses emerging national security risks, including the rapid evolution of the relevant adversary technologies, and the vulnerabilities created by large-scale offshore wind projects with proximity near our east coast population centers.“

The pause comes two weeks after a federal judge vacated an executive order that had been issued to block wind energy projects. Judge Patti Saris wrote that Trump’s Jan. 20 order was “arbitrary and capricious” and violates U.S. law.

The Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project was on track to begin delivering electricity next year and could eventually have generated enough electricity to power approximately 660,000 homes.
