🎧 Cassidy said this campaign should focus on the future rather than the past, but many Republican voters felt that voting to convict Trump was a betrayal, NPR’s Sam Gringlas tells Up First. Cassidy attempted to repair his relationship with Trump supporters while maintaining his independent streak. But achieving both of those things could be impossible, former Louisiana Republican Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne told Gringlas. After this year, at least five of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump will no longer be in office. Cassidy’s defeat could further discourage Republican senators from breaking away from Trump, Gringlas says.

➡️ Tomorrow's primary in Georgia will showcase heated Republican races for governor and U.S. Senate, while Democrats are hopeful that their enthusiasm advantage can help them flip two state supreme court seats.

🎧 Ebola is a very serious disease that kills about half of the people it infects, according to NPR’s Jonathan Lambert. Lambert closely tracks outbreaks like these and says he experienced a moment of panic when he saw the announcement because he thought he must have missed earlier reports, given the numbers seemed too big for a new outbreak. It is now known that the first suspected cases emerged in late April. This particular strain, known as Bundibugyo, is rare and standard rapid field tests often fail to detect it. At least two cases, including one death, have already been reported in Uganda’s capital, Kampala. If the virus continues to infiltrate more urban and connected areas, it could spread more rapidly. 

🎧 NPR's John Ruwitch says that a key question in the case is whether Musk was misled into donating money, influence and connection to OpenAI in its early days. Musk argues that Altman and others violated the company's founding mission as a charitable trust and unjustly enriched themselves by creating a for-profit division that consumed the original nonprofit. The jury will need to decide whether Musk filed this lawsuit in time, as the case has a three-year statute of limitations for breach of charitable trust. The jury will have to believe Musk’s allegation that he became aware of the issues fewer than three years before filing the suit in 2024. In this case, Musk is seeking a rollback of the for-profit division, approximately $150 billion in gains related to that company to be redirected to OpenAI’s nonprofit foundation and the removal of Altman and another co-founder, Greg Brockman, from their leadership roles.
