Vance is set to speak in Maine about fraud investigations ahead of primary election

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — Vice PresidentJD Vanceis slated to make an appearance in Maine on Thursday to highlight the Trump administration’s efforts to combat fraud ahead of the state’s primary elections for several high-profile races.

Vance Fraud Task Force

Vance, who chairs the administration’santi-fraud task force, is scheduled to deliver remarks at Bangor International Airport, the White House and the Maine Republican Party announced.

The vice president, who is seen as a potential GOP candidate for president in 2028, has been promoting the work of the task force as he has campaigned for Republican candidates in recent months. But Thursday's visit is the first that has been expressly billed as a stop to talk about the fraud-fighting efforts rather than an economic-focused message he's delivered in other visits.

Vance's pitch on President Donald Trump's economic policies has become tougher in the wake ofthe Iran war, which has driven upcosts of gas and other goods, including food.

The visit to Maine comes after the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services AdministratorDr. Mehmet Ozsaid earlier in the year that he was calling forcorrective actionon alleged fraud in government health programs in Maine, a request characterized by the state’s Democratic governor, Janet Mills, as a “political attack.” It also comes as Maine residents begin voting ahead of the state’s primary elections on June 9, when they will be selecting candidates for governor, the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House.

Mills, who is prevented by term limit laws from running for a third term,recently dropped outof the Democratic primary race to challenge Republican Sen.Susan Collins, effectively ceding the nomination to progressive activist and oyster farmerGraham Platner. The seat is considered one of the most competitive in the nation and critical to Democratic hopes of reclaiming control of the chamber.

Republicans are bullish about their chances of taking back the 2nd Congressional District, which encompasses Bangor, after Democratic Rep. Jared Goldenannounced he wouldn’t be seeking reelectionto the seat. Former Gov. Paul LePage, a Trump allylooking to make a political comeback, is the sole Republican vying for the nomination.

LePage is expected to speak at Thursday's event, but Collins is scheduled to be in Washington. LePage posted on social media channel X before the event that “every dollar of fraud is a dollar stolen from taxpayers and not used to help those who truly need assistance.”

In the governor's race, seven Republicans and five Democrats are vying to replace Mills, who hassparred with the Trump administrationover the issue of transgender athletes in high school sports.

Some Maine Democrats have used Vance’s appearance as an opportunity to boost their campaign messages. Progressive groups were planning a demonstration in Bangor at the time of the appearance, and Maine Secretary of State and governor candidate Shenna Bellows said she planned to speak at it.

Nirav Shah, the former Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention director who is now running for governor, said in an email to supporters and media that Vance is visiting Maine when costs of necessities such as heating oil and gas are surging in the state.

“That is the record JD Vance is bringing to Maine on Thursday. That is the record the Maine Republicans hosting him are ‘honored’ to celebrate,” Shah said.

Maine is a largely Democratic state, but Trump has proven popular in rural areas, and he has won the 2nd District in three consecutive elections. Mills had made her opposition to Trump a focus of her Senate run against Collins until she suspended her campaign in late April, clearing a path for Platner to take the nomination.

Vancepaid a visitto northern New England in March 2025, when he went to Vermont on a family vacation. The appearance attracted protests near a ski resort.

Lance Bass Surprises Joey Fatone on Stage at Broadway's “& Juliet ”for *NSYNC Sing-Along of 'It's Gonna be Me'

Joey Fatone and Lance Bass reunited to perform *NSYNC's "It's Gonna Be Me" during a post-show sing-along at & Juliet

NEED TO KNOW

• Lance Bass surprised the audience by running from Titanique, narrowly making it on stage in time

• Joey Fatone has a history with Broadway and & Juliet, previously starring in the musical and co-producing Titanique

It was the year 2000 all over again at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre on Tuesday, May 12, asJoey FatoneandLance Bassreunited to perform *NSYNC's No. 1 hit "It's Gonna Be Me" for a crowd of cheering fans.

The special moment was a part of a month-long celebration Broadway's& Julietis throwing in celebration of the song, which has become a meme over the years on social media as a way to mark the beginning of May thanks toJustin Timberlake's pronunciation of the word "Me."

Areference to the joke is even made in the musical, which is set to a score of others songs by hitmaker Max Martin including “Since U Been Gone,” “Roar,” “Baby One More Time,” “Larger Than Life,” “That’s The Way It Is,” “Can’t Stop the Feeling" and more.

Tuesday's performance of the song by Fatone and Bass nearly didn't happen, however.

Theatergoers knew Fatone was leading the post-show sing-along, his role as host announced when the event was revealed earlier this month. But Bass had previous plans on the books, with tickets to see another Broadway hit — the hilarious Tony Award-nominated Best MusicalTitanique— across the way.

Turns out,Titanique's90-minute runtime worked to Bass' advantage. He ran through Times Square from the St. James Theatre, making it on stage just in time to surprise Fatone and the& Julietaudience.

"He made it! He made it!" Fatone cheered, in video of the moment shared by& Juliet's Instagram page.

“I almost got hit by six taxicabs, but I made it by the last note!" said Bass.

Fatone, 49, is no stranger to& Juliet. The singer and actor perviously starred in the musical as Lance, both on Broadway and during a recent stint on the tour's stop in Orlando, Florida.

He's also no stranger to Broadway, with roles inLittle Shop of HorrorsandRentthroughout his career. He's even a co-producer onTitaniquethis season, with his other *NSYNC bandmate,JC Chasez.

Bass, 47, has a Broadway acting credit of his own, too. He previously played Link Larkin during the run ofHairspray.

Meanwhile, *NSYNC fans will get more opportunities to see Fatone and Bass together soon.

The two are hosting a new mixology competition series namedCocktail Wars, which will premiered this summer on Versant-owned network E!

Announced this week at the NBCUniversal Upfronts, the 10-part series will see bartenders go head-to-head in a high-stakes cocktail competition, where creativity, precision and taste will determine who takes home a $10,000 prize each week. Competitors will be judged by various celebrities and an expert judge.

“We’re excited to be part ofCocktail Warsand team up again for something this fun,” said Bass and Fatone in a statement. “With this much talent, a little competition, a lot of cocktails and just enough chaos to keep things interesting — that’s usually where we thrive.”

As for "It's Gonna Be May,"Fatone and Bass have previously opened up about the song's unique legacy.

"I mean, it is crazy. If you want to stay relevant, become a meme for the young kids out there," Bass told PEOPLE in 2025. "It's something that fans get to have fun with every single year. It keeps the song kind of in people's minds, which is nice. It keeps us alive every year. It’s the most searched *NSYNC thing ever on that day just because of this stupid little meme, which I’m sure Justin loved. But yeah, it's a gift that keeps on giving."

"There are so many different ones out there," Fatone added. "And I think, again, like Lance was saying, people just get creative. The more the years go on, the more variations you see — including old-school stuff they’re digging up — and then they put the words under the meme. It’s hilarious. I think it’s great. Again, why not? Why not run with it? It’s fun."

The Decision Carrie Underwood Made That ‘Did Wonders’ for Her Marriage [Report]

Carrie Underwoodmay have just wrapped another season ofAmerican Idol, but according to a new report, she still has no interest in putting her career into overdrive.

On Monday (May 11), the singing competition crowned its Season 24 winner, and insiders say the country superstar is looking forward to slowing down, spending more time at home with husbandMike Fisherand their two sons — a decision that has reportedly “done wonders” for their marriage.

While some people in Underwood’s circle reportedly believe she could be doing even more professionally, the singer appears perfectly content with the balance she’s created.

Choosing Balance Over Burnout

The 43-year-old currently splits her time between filmingAmerican Idolin Los Angeles and spending time with her family on their 400-acre Tennessee farm.

“She’s perfectly comfortable with her current situation,” a source toldStar, adding that Underwood feels she’s getting “the best of both worlds.”

The insider also claimed Underwood understands that constantly chasing bigger opportunities comes with tradeoffs.

Chasing the dollar can come with plenty of downsides that don’t always make it worthwhile.

That mindset lines up with what Underwood recently hinted at herself when she casually revealed onJimmy Kimmel Live!that she has no plans to tour in 2026.

Some Think She Could Be Doing Even More

According to the report, not everyone around Underwood agrees with her slower pace. “There’s still a feeling in her circle that she’s making too big a sacrifice right now,” the source claimed.

The insider even suggested Underwood could expand far beyond country music if she wanted to, adding, “She could be the modern-dayDolly Partonif she decided to take off the handbrake and really go for it with her career.”

Insiders believe that the “Blown Away” singer would likely be a natural fit for TV and movie roles — and even a future talk show opportunity, especially with speculation continuing aroundKelly Clarkson’s long-term TV future.

Her Marriage Is Reportedly Benefiting

Perhaps the biggest reason Underwood seems content slowing things down is what it’s reportedly doing for her home life.

“Staying at home more has done wonders for her marriage,”the source claimed, adding that if turning down work helps keep things strong with Fisher, “then it’s a small price to pay.”

After years of balancing touring, television, residencies, and family life all at once, it sounds like Carrie Underwood is finally embracing something she hasn’t had much of in a long time: breathing room.
