Matt Dunlap destroyed Paul LePage in tonight’s debate. LePage has clearly lost a step. A tired act with nothing left. Sad. #mepolitics

Man, imagine you're minding your own business, getting kind of drunk with your friends at a picturesque brewery in Maine, when suddenly John Roberts walks by and you get to start heckling him. Must have felt incredible. That's the dream. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...
The chief justice used to preside over a Supreme Court whose members were afforded more privacy and freedom than many other public officials. Once, years ago, Mr. Lipson and the chief justice found themselves up the peninsula from Port Clyde without a car, Mr. Lipson recalled in an interview. So he stuck out his thumb by the side of the road and a pickup truck pulled over. He and the nation’s top jurist hopped in the back and hitchhiked back to town.

Now, Mr. Lipson said, he is cautious about introducing his friend to strangers. This year, on an outing to nearby Monhegan Island, people recognized the chief justice as he walked by a brewery and started to chant: You should be ashamed.

At the center of suspicions is a former Royal Mail ship with its own fascinating backstory, but what it was doing at the time is unclear.

I’m not sure people appreciate how radical this is. A pro-active process to inform locals when there is a cruise ship health risk. No other port to my knowledge has done this. It is why @portcruisecontrol.bsky.social exists. Never would have happened without @wespelletier.bsky.social ⚓️💙⚓️

The 2027 cruise schedule includes 102 cruise ships. 26 days with 2 ships at once. Some days the floating cities will reach almost 10k population. No restriction on fuel. No decrease in air pollution. No elimination of scrubber wash contaminants in Casco Bay. Is this what Portland wants?

Butler’s 34-year military career spans the Spanish-American War in 1898 through WWI. He rose through all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major General. He received 16 medals and was one of only two Marines to be awarded the Medal of Honor twice for separate military actions. /2
Marine officers at Veracruz, Mexico, 1914. Front row, left to right: Wendell C. Neville, John A. Lejeune, Littleton W.T. Waller. Commanding: Smedley Butler. Butler received his first Medal of Honor for bravery during the U.S. occupation of Veracruz. During intense urban combat, he braved sniper fire and street-to-street fighting, moving openly through the city to clear out enemy positions. He tried to return the medal but the Secretary of the Navy ordered him to wear it. His second Medal of Honor was for action during the Battle of Fort Rivière, Haiti. Butler led the charge through a heavily fortified stronghold, engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat and successfully defeated rebel resistance fighters. Photo credit: USMC Archives.
