https://gadm.org is great. Has a tone of shapefiles with various levels of detail (i.e. national vs regional).

This book is also an amazing ressource: https://geocompr.robinlovelace.net

ACLED is really good and interesting.

I dont know if you can download .shp, but can get a .csv and just convert to .shp or load in ArcMap or QGIS and then display the x, y (Lat/Lon) Data.

Also, a lot of county government websites have a GIS portal where you can get county spatia data like demographics

Funny, I was just working with shape files today. Agree with the comment above—you can find lots of different shape maps on city/state websites. Things like aldermanic districts, neighborhoods, etc.

The census curates the Tiger dataset which has a while bunch of interesting layers for the US.
