ICYMI: Filings Reveal Shadowy Funding of America First and Working People Parties
plains-sentinel.com/p/filing…
This is the 2025-2026 Husker basketball experience.
A weird niche feeling I’ll never forget after the Royals won in ‘15, a team that reminds me a lot of this Brewers team, is the odd sense of sadness that follows once you realize the month and a half of magic you experienced every day abruptly comes to an end. You literally don’t know what to do with yourself. It’s truly a one-of-a-kind experience. 💙
What a fun team to watch this fall. Sad it’s over, as a baseball fan.
Another Osborn leak. This time it is audio from his campaign manager ⬇️

Good reporting by the NYT.
SCOOP: Democrats have insisted they have nothing to do with the other Dan Sullivan on Alaska's Senate ballot.
But aides with the Mary Peltola campaign and DSCC were part of a monthslong secret plan to recruit him to run -- as well as other candidates.

Small story update. John Cartier, the organizer of the America First Party, issued a statement describing the party's fundraising as "bi-partisan," while the Pillen campaign says filings show the party is "bankrolled by far-left union bosses and angry radicals."

SCOOP: Nebraska independent Dan Osborn’s demand that some Senate campaign volunteers sign NDAs backfired when one volunteer leaked the paperwork to me. The volunteer found the request ridiculous since they didn’t have access to sensitive campaign info. politico.com/newsletters/pla…
Fun little addendum to this story. Merv Riepe is one of the only Republicans the NSEA "endorsed" this cycle, but NADC filings show they are funneling money to an outside group that is spending money against him.
