While Susan Collin’s has done much for BIW, the Yahd workers are going to suffer much more under the Trump policies she’s endorsed. This was her carrot on a stick.

My mega MAGA Mom is mistaken for Janet Mills on a monthly basis. Proud of Janet Mills for standing up to a tyrant and excited for my Mom to find out how horrible Maine MAGA people can be when it’s targeted at her.

It’s hard to believe that after waiting 28 years to become Appropriations Chair, one of the first things Senator Collins is going to do is vote for an OMB director who plans to subvert the appropriations process #mepolitics

Maine has had pizza for ages. Which makes the lingering presence of Pat’s Pizza, literally just cardboard with expired Chef Boyardee Beefaroni sauce, so baffling.
In 1938, pizza was still such a new thing in Maine that a restaurant in Lewiston took out an ad in the Evening Journal asking "HAVE YOU TRIED PIZZA?"
The Dec. 23, 1938 Steckino Liberty Cafe's ad was the first time the newspaper mentioned pizza.

Maine Needs started with a Facebook group in 2019. In 2020, founder Angela Stone opened the donation center on Forest Avenue. But the nonprofit has expanded into every possible corner there and long since reached its capacity.
Now it's moving next year to a new location four times the size.
