Angus King’s son is running for governor in Maine. It will be interesting to see how he addresses the issue.
In New Hampshire, the Democratic family feud over the deal to end the government shutdown is an actual one. Jeanne Shaheen voted for the agreement. Her daughter, Stefany Shaheen, who is running for the House, came out against it. @reidepstein.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

The problem with canceling a @nytimes.com subscription is that it would mean the loss of my recipes, access to @theathletic.com and, of course, the end of my Games streak. But it has increasingly been such an awful reporter of the news.

As the Trump administration seeks to force millions of Americans to starve, it might be useful for those “Christians” to recall that there is only one miracle that appears in all four gospels: the feeding of the 5,000. That would seem a point of significance for believers.
