Our Town buildings, including the public library, are available to all legitimate Wells community groups for meetings. There are rumors that the Wells Public Library is sponsoring a political event. That is false. Allowing the use of a public space is NOT sponsorship.

Time is running out for Maine budget compromise to avoid reduced hospital payments The state will begin reducing MaineCare reimbursements to small rural hospitals and withhold reimbursements for larger claims on Wednesday if lawmakers do not pass an emergency supplemental budget.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

We Are on Our Own From Marc | Our institutions are not going to save us. Only we can do that.

Each time I have sat down to write something since the election, I am bothered by this recurring phrase that I simply cannot get out of my head.

So,I am going to just say it out loud: we are on our own. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/we-a...

NEW: Today, we’re officially launching our Frontline Program for the 2026 cycle!

These 26 House Democrats are battle-tested and laser-focused on pocketbook issues. Democrats are poised to retake the majority in 2026, and these members will help us do that.

I see tomorrow is Friday.

Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day?

Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else?

I just can’t keep track.

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.

Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121
