This is how the candidates are listed on Alaska's ballots. It's clearly marked, which one is the GOP candidate and which one is just a guy
NEW: DOJ is suing to prevent Alaska from certifying its election results until the state investigates whether the other "Dan Sullivan" on the ballot created "voter confusion" to the detriment of incumbent GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan.

Voters who Googled how to donate to Talarico got an AI answer that led them to give to someone else.
A network of fake news sites seeded messaging about state and local candidates that AI answers picked up on.

Ukraine’s envoy to Washington says that Trump’s request to Musk was ignored.
Starshield/Starlink speed restrictions remain in place. Every day matters for Ukraine, because every Ukrainian life matters. Our people are waiting for positive news, hoping that the restrictions will be lifted and our defenders will have the capabilities they need to protect lives.
Unfortunately, as of today, nothing has changed. We continue to wait.

JOHNSON'S MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR
I traveled to Chehalis, Wash., this week to spend some time with @SpeakerJohnson.
I dont think that Johnson has any idea what he will do if Republicans lose the majority.
He refuses to acknowledge that Republicans are in dire risk of a washout.
He said it's "hilarious" that Democrats think they can get 230 seats.
“I want you to record that I am laughing out loud about that,” he said. “That is nonsense.”
At this point, Johnson seems to be living in a world that few others are inhabiting. The speaker says he doesn’t believe any of the polls, even the mountain of data that the NRCC and the Congressional Leadership Fund give him.

you're just going about your day and you now get to read stuff like "Trump says Sundar Pichai talked him out of renaming the Atlantic Ocean" and you just have to nod and move on with your day.
“Oceans are different, sir.” lmao

New: A ProPublica data analysis shows that delays resulting from the USPS' cost-cutting measures have endangered the validity of ballots mailed in rural areas. Counties that voted for Trump in 2024 have been most affected. propub.li/4izE2Cp

New: Andrew Feinberg, the reporter that Trump snapped at here, was slated to serve as the print pool reporter on Thursday.
Feinberg confirms to me that, without explanation, the White House told him today that he would no longer be the print pooler on Trump's Thursday trip.
Donald Trump lost his temper at a journalist during an Oval Office press conference, calling him a “sick person”.
The US president raged at The Independent’s Andrew Feinberg after he asked him questions about his golf course and his new tip-off hotline designed to expose fraudsters.

NEWS — President Trump will hold a rally in Corinth, Mississippi, on Monday, per @magnoliatribune.
The announcement comes as @Axios reports that Senate Republicans are increasingly concerned about Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith’s re-election bid against Democrat Scott Colom.
Democrats have announced a $1.2 million ad buy supporting Colom.
There’s no question this looks like a very bad midterm for the party in power, worse than 2018, on par with 2006. Question has been why #CO08 stubbornly stayed a toss-up. Looks like that’s beginning to shift (Crystal Ball moved to Lesn D yesterday)

Camp Lejeune veterans and their families have been pleading for help for years. Their stories are heartbreaking.
I wrote about them here: washingtonpost.com/politics/…
The president says here that he will only fund help for these families if his party does well in an election.

Utah Republicans packed the court this year with two extra seats, plus pressured a justice to resign, all in anger at the state Supreme Court helping strike down their gerrymander. New reporting on one of the justices:
#EXCLUSIVE: Newly appointed Utah Supreme Court Justice Michael Menssen signed the effort to repeal Utah’s anti-gerrymandering law, Prop. 4 in February, seven months before he would become a justice. He did not recuse himself from the latest case involving the redistricting plaintiffs against the legislature. @abc4utah
