A Bloomberg reader gets "renewed US outreach" with no campaign stop; a Washington Examiner reader gets a Monday-evening remark on the way to Youngstown and a trip dated next month.

If you only read The Hill, you missed DHS blaming Mamdani and Hochul for 16,070 unhonored ICE detainers. That figure is the entire Breitbart story.

Senator Roger Marshall Pays Six-Year-Old Bakery Debt
By adding Marshall’s past history of suing patients over small medical debts, The Guardian recasts his $1,300 make-good payment to Holly’s Sweet Treats from a lone campaign bookkeeping error into part of a broader pattern with money, a context that the New York Times does not develop and that right-leaning outlets omit entirely by ignoring the story.
