Pioneering journalist Linda Mason has died at 84. Over her nearly 50-year career, Mason became the first female producer at the CBS Evening News and later became a senior producer of the broadcast.

Alaska’s Senate race is drawing scrutiny over allegations that aides to Democrat Mary Peltola helped recruit an independent candidate with the same name as Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan to confuse voters. Peltola’s campaign has repeatedly denied involvement, while President Trump called the alleged effort “outright cheating.” @EdOKeefe reports.

Asked El-Sayed for his reaction to this.
Part of his answer:
“To me, this election is about control of the United States Senate. It's about putting a check on Donald Trump. It's about addressing his effort to try and take away everything from religious freedom to our voting rights to union rights to health care and the big ugly bill. So if folks see another issue that is more important to them and decide that their disagreement with me on that is bigger than their agreement with me on all these other things, that is their choice.”
“We feel really strong about our ability to bring people together. There are always going to be some folks who have different opinions, and they're welcome to that. That's the beauty of democracy.”

NEW: John Thune's balancing act
For nearly two years, Thune has led the Senate GOP through unforgiving terrain, working to advance the president’s agenda, while protecting the upper chamber’s independence. But with the midterms closing in, will it be enough to keep his majority?
Ed O'Keefe retweeted
There are 35 Senate races on the ballot — 10 of which will determine which party controls the chamber for the next two years.

As a former contributing writer to the AP Stylebook, I'll make a ruling here: it should be "Dans Sullivan" like Surgeons General. Like Attorneys General, or courts martial. teapawt.net/migold/status/21147937…

"The United States oil and gas business is making hundreds of billions of dollars," Trump said Saturday. "… Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars because of what’s happened in the Middle East."
His oil and gas stock holdings are also making millions, a report from Dems on the Joint Economic Committee and obtained by CBS News finds.

Breaking @CBSNews: L. Louise Lucas, a longtime Virginia state senator and vocal Trump critic who played a central role in the state's redistricting effort last year, is in federal custody in connection with a bribery and racketeering scheme, per DOJ

The White House Correspondents' Association strongly objects to the decision to restrict a journalist’s coverage simply because the president didn’t care for their questioning. That is retaliation. The American public's right to an independent press depends on reporters being able to do their jobs without fear that challenging the president will cut off their access.

NEW in @POLITICO from the RGV: Bobby Pulido's music career is officially coming to an end. But he's not leaving the spotlight.
Dems see an opening to not just win back a South Texas district they lost to the GOP, but also the chance to gain a massive messenger to Latino men, who could make all the difference cross-country come 2028.
“Mexican-American men haven’t really felt like they have a home,” in either party, @bobbypulido425 told me.

Asked about his wife handing out $10 gas gift cards in predominantly Black areas of Detroit, Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers told @edokeefe she paid for them out of pocket and was trying to raise campaign awareness.
O’Keefe: “He also made the point that she was doing this in Black areas of Detroit. He has made a concerted effort to reach out to Black voters in that city, believing that there is softness for El-Sayed.”
