Nebraska’s “Blue Dot” House primary finally settles: Douglas County’s last early-ballot counts confirmed Denise Powell’s win over State Sen. John Cavanaugh, and Cavanaugh conceded after the final totals came in—Powell leading by about 1,345 votes overall, with the gap extending in Friday’s update. Election fallout: Powell now turns to the general election matchup against GOP nominee Brinker Harding, while other Nebraska primaries still see lingering close races and provisional ballots. Public health scramble: The MV Hondius hantavirus outbreak keeps driving global quarantine and repatriation logistics, with WHO and CDC stressing the risk to the general public remains low even as more countries isolate exposed travelers. Defense shake-up: The Pentagon is reportedly canceling some Europe deployments to Poland and Germany to reduce troop numbers, a move that’s already sparked questions from allies. Opioid money: Nebraska is set to receive $27M from the opioid settlement.
