Platner Is Now the Democratic Senate Nominee in Maine — Unchallenged

Today's lead: Maine Gov. Janet Mills exits the Democratic Senate primary, handing the nomination to Graham Platner — an anti-Israel oysterman who now faces Susan Collins with no mainstream challenger left in the race. Also tracking a tidal wave of campus antisemitism: UMich's faculty senate chair used a commencement speech to praise anti-Israel protesters, while New School administrators overruled a student senate vote to defund Hillel. In the wire: the Brandeis Center files a federal Title VII antisemitism complaint against the nation's largest teachers union, Trump's 'Project Freedom' escorts ships through Hormuz as Iran claims — and the US denies — a missile strike on a US warship, and NYPD reports hate crimes down in April as Mamdani's accounting methods face scrutiny.
