Inside the allegations that Democrats stacked Alaska’s ballotAlaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has ordered an investigation into Democratic Senate candidate Mary Peltola following a New York Times report alleging her campaign secretly stacked the ballot with the goal of peeling votes from her Republican opponent. Alaska Public Media’s Liz Ruskin explains how the allegations are shaking a key race. With nearly all votes tallied, Israel’s first national election since the Oct. 7 attacks is at a stalemate. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition and former military chief Gadi Eisenkot’s center-right bloc both fell short of a 61-seat majority to secure control of parliament. Reuters Jerusalem correspondent Emily Rose explains what could happen next. Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado called for new elections in her first week back in the country after spending a year in exile. The Wall Street Journal’s Vera Bergengruen reports on Machado’s homecoming and how she’s trying to navigate her relationship with the White House. Plus, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth escalated his crackdown on suspected leaks of classified information, the WNBA Finals are heading to a historic Game 7, and remembering Patrick Stewart.

Why some Dems back independent candidates for SenateThe Democratic Party's image in places like Montana and Nebraska isn't great. So, in Nebraska, the state's Democratic Party opted not to run a candidate in the U.S. Senate race, and is backing an independent.
