If we also lift the cap on what they pay in, does that ease your offended sense of fairness over the $5K rebate?

It’s funny that the way Trump talks about his PAC indicates a whole separate category of laws are being broken and that’s not even mentioned in passing, never-mind as a stand-alone controversy

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 feel like the person most able to stop it without, you know, is Mike Johnson. It he just acted with the prerogatives every other speaker assumed and not those of the VP presiding over the senate, 99% of this stuff would stop (and 99% of gop agenda would proceed even faster)

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?

crazy they are discharging anything into the harbor, but anything that doesn’t go in the water goes out the stack, right? Biddeford and Saco made up a whole bunch of rules to deal with their incinerator and SoPo has been fighting VOCs from the tank farms. Minimize harm and make them pay

Where they anchor used to be a steel foundry. I assumed Maine had great air quality but it turns out we are down wind of the upper mid-west and are breathing lots of pollution from 6 states away. Ban the emissions, not the boats.

The difference is Portland is an industrial port and there’s not a lot of support for de-industrializing the harbor. We need stronger regulations across the board. Maybe these cruise ships shouldn’t exist or should be limited in what they emit in our community but we are PORTland.

Portland and Bar Harbor have different interests. soak these operators to decarbonize the waterfront and restore a bit of balance. Dirty ships disgorging 4,000 passengers and taking all the seats at Brickyard Hollow isn’t even a top 3 problem for the penninsula, but a lack of businesses is…

That schedule is a great resource for determining an ideal cruise ship size for Portland and anything over that many passengers is deemed burdensome. any impact fee should be progressive to the point where fewer of these massive ships make fewer visits until they’re less burdensome on their hosts.

I agree - and it’s definitely short-sighted that the city built a “megaberth” without shore power capacity and wasn’t an early phase requirement for the portland co marina. but we can fix that! could do some sort of leisure landings tif to address infrastructure deficits and build homes blah blah

these are the sort of narrow interests I’m not trying to promote. Not banned per se but heavily regulated for human rights and environmental concerns and the city should put a toll on the gangway, but I think there should be much more waterfront development. and denser public housing built above it.

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.
