Vance in Maine: "Sometimes I get frustrated with Susan [Collins]. I almost wish that she was more partisan, but the thing I love about Susan is she is independent because Maine is an independent state, and frankly, if she was [more partisan] ... she would not be a good fit for the people of Maine. So let’s give a shoutout to Susan Collins who’s doing a great job." #MESEN

Scoop from @Hailey_Fuchs: GOP Rep. Max Miller, who has been accused of abusing his ex-wife, is now suing her for defamation — a major escalation in an ongoing public dispute between the two-term Ohio Republican and the daughter of Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno.

If you're waking up to this story, here's why: The Douglas County Election Commission has about 9,600-9,800 early voting ballots returned on Election Day or late on the day before yet to count Friday. Early votes tend to follow a pattern, but not always, and Cavanaugh won those.

Nebraskans and the country will have to wait a bit longer to know who won the Democratic nomination in the state’s Omaha-based 2nd Congressional District. Denise Powell is currently leading John Cavanaugh. My latest @NE_Examiner nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/05/13/pow…

on the money-in-politics beat, it's common to see lobbying organizations try to take credit for outcomes they were only tangentially involved with.

And just like that, Cindy Burbank wins the very weird Democratic Senate primary in Nebraska. She's expected to quickly drop out and back independent Dan Osborn, who also has the support of the state's Democratic Party.

With respect, "local tv" is often in a better position to hold elected leaders to account due to institutional knowledge, deep community connections, and separation from national narratives.
Max Tani@maxwelltani
if you can't handle local tv, how are you going to be able to handle national media, much of which has an interest in pushing/pursuing narratives about how terrible you/your state are?

Notable to see AIPAC directly coming out and denying involvement with IE efforts like this — not something I can recall them doing before.
AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱@AIPAC
Millions of Americans want to help tough, principled Democrats defeat extremist candidates. Despite conspiracy theories, not every dollar spent in that effort comes via AIPAC. AIPAC isn't funding Center for Democratic Priorities, and it isn't funding any group's efforts in PA03.

New: Rs are now ahead by 10+ House seats in the redistricting race, and Democrats are stuck doing something they know all too well: blaming Trump, and hoping it will spur voters to turn out for them in November.
They are bullish the argument will land.
