Susan Collins’ took campaign donations from a known Epstein client. #MEPolitics
Wednesday: Epstein’s billionaire client. Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein $158 million, and last month the House held him in contempt for defying its subpoenas. Susan Collins’ campaign took checks from Black and his wife three days after the New York Times exposed those payments, then took $7,000 more from his wife last December. Dan Sullivan’s campaign took their money too.

Screenshot of a Facebook post from the Maine Democratic Party just after 10am on 10/1/2026:
“Bobby Charles' campaign reported 46 contributions over Maine's legal limit, totaling more than $25,000 in apparent illegal donations.

Today, Maine Democrats filed a formal complaint with the Ethics Commission. Mainers deserve answers, and Charles needs to return the money.”

There is a picture of Bobby Charles with photo credit to Rich Abrahamson with the words:

I always failed at growing corn so I gave up trying. The pumpkins were so close to being ready to pick too. 11 out of 14 munched on, 3 of which eaten completely & only 3 remain.🫠 On the bright side I held the animals off until all the veggies I was growing for food died off for the fall. 🤷‍♀️

It’s perfectly round and almost completely orange. It also has exactly five teeth marks on it from either a deer or porcupine(probably the deer)l though). It didn’t eat it. Just bit it a tiny bit.

I love how they went through the trouble of making that entire long post but very specifically never mention what it is that’s being transported.😂 Maine DOT put out a release saying it’s a “heat recovery steam generator by Barnhart” so it’s not like it’s a secret.

Oversized Load Transport to Impact Traffic Between Jay and Portland

Drivers should plan ahead for delays, road closures, and traffic pattern adjustments.
AUGUSTA – September 28, 2026 —The Maine Department of Transportation is issuing an advisory of an oversize load transport of a heat recovery steam generator by Barnhart. On September 29, the transport will begin moving out of Jay at 6 PM and will continue to the next holdover point of either Oxford or Turner until 6 AM. This move is expected to take at least two nights and will involve a convoy of support vehicles, law enforcement escorts, utility crews, and specialized transport personnel. This load will be moving very slowly and may cause delays.
Due to the size of this transport, the load and support team will occupy most of the roadway along several sections of the route. The load is 20 feet wide, nearly 20 ft tall and nearly 220 feet long. The load will take up the width of two traveling lanes. Residents and businesses along the route are asked to avoid parking on the street during the movement window. Parked vehicles could obstruct the convoy and create unsafe conditions.The route for the move is Jay: Riley Road to Crash Road; then Route 4, Route 117, Route 26, U.S. Route 202, Route 22, U.S. Route 1, Broadway, and Elm Street in South Portland.
Motorists may experience temporary delays, rolling road closures, and traffic pattern adjustments as the convoy progresses. Local police departments and support crews will be managing intersections and roadway access to ensure safe passage.
This transport is the first of nine total oversize loads scheduled to move along this route. After the successful delivery of the first load, an updated movement schedule will be released for the remaining eight loads. The next transports are expected to take place over multiple nights over the next two months.
MaineDOT appreciates the understanding and patience of the traveling public during this oversize load transport.
