Retired and I live in beautiful Maine. Will not obey in advance. Firmly believe that an American President is not a king and neither are his buddies.

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt?

He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

Smart for Matt Dunlap to lean into this message. Backing of the Dem establishment seems as likely to be a curse as a blessing in 2026. #MEpolitics

Itโ€™s not that complicated. By raising the retirement age to 68 or even 70 millions of people will die before they can begin to collect their social securityโ€ฆso of course it saves money.

Mills says Maine SNAP recipients will receive full November benefits after USDA decides to issue funding The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Friday that it is moving to release the benefits even as the Trump administration appeals court decisions compelling it to fully fund the program.

Janet Mills went ahead and announced that all SNAP recipients in Maine would get their full benefits. She's not standing by watching her constituents go hungry.

190. SNAP WTF? A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

If youโ€™re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, hereโ€™s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the โ€œadministrative stayโ€ issued by Justice Jacksonโ€”and why a justice so critical of the Courtโ€™s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

Burning of Falmouth in a later illustration

Burning of Falmouth in a later illustration

Nov. 8, 1775: The representatives of Cumberland County, Mass. (now Maine), issue a report on last month's destruction of Falmouth (Portland) by the British. They pray that the colony "grant us relief, by affording us men, and such warlike stores, of every kind, as you shall judge proper."

More broadly, officials across ICE say Noem and Lewandowski have directed them to use a $170 billion infusion of cash from Congress to launch splashy ideas that have proven ineffective or impractical.

Among the examples some ICE officials have cited: A few weeks ago, the pair ordered ICE officials to buy 10 737 jets from Spirit Airlines that they said would be used to boost deportation flightsโ€”and for their own travel, according to people familiar with the matter. Some officials warned the pair that the effort would be prohibitively expensive compared with hiring more flight contractors, the people said.

Once the officials looked into the proposal, they learned that Spirit, which filed for bankruptcy for a second time in August, didnโ€™t own the planes. The planes also donโ€™t have engines, which would need to be purchased separately. The project has since been put on pause, though DHS recently purchased two Gulfstream jets for $200 million, according to Democrats on the House Appropriations Committee, who were notified by the department.

A spokesperson for Spirit didnโ€™t respond to a request for comment.

Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski were going to buy 10 jets without engines from Spririt Airlines that Spirit didn't own.

Why is anyone surprised? Trump once said that he only saw the need to have Congress in session once every four years.

Millions of servicemembers and veterans rely on the commissary system for basic needs. The tax-free grocery stores offer a substantial savings on many items and also comes with the benefit of the Star Card, a defense system credit card used at the commissary and PX (like a Target/Walmart).

Reading about Crick and Watson and DNA was a favorite of my childhood in the 1960s. Even us kids realized pretty quickly that Franklin got denied so much credit and was screwed over.

"[P]rocedurally, had she denied the request, the Justice Department could have gone to another justice.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, by issuing the order herself, she was able to set the limits."

Itโ€™s shit like this that makes me think the GOP doesnโ€™t care about winning elections and theyโ€™re just not planning on having them. Because no one who thinks they have to win elections does this.
