Maine Legislative Memorial Scholarship Applications are due by May 1, 2026.
Each year a student from each county is selected for the Maine Legislative Memorial Scholarship. I was chosen as the Penobscot County recipient back in 2013.
If you or someone you know is a college student in Maine, check out this opportunity.

Higgins is badly misrepresenting what Mills said. She said she didn't know the details of the resolution but would be concerned if it blocked Iron Dome interceptors (it doesn't). She also unequivocally condemned the Israeli campaign in Gaza as a violation of international law.
The ROUS looked more realistic!
Good news for New Yorkers, bad news for rats: all trash will be in rat-proof bins by the end of 2031.
No more black bags on the sidewalks — it’s time to put a lid on it.
"Thank you for choosing ConEdison."
Do you think I would choose ConEdison if I had any other options?
it seems like Livingston NJ, a heavily Jewish county, saw a rightward shift of 18 points from 2024

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich
Well, today we're taxing the rich...
I think Duverger's Law will **probably** take over after the primary and this will end up like Oregon Gov 2022.

Tom Streyer, you’re up!
ORBÁN CONCEDED
PLATNER IS LITERALLY STILL OPENLY USING THE "R" WORD IN CASUAL CONVERSATION. TODAY.
In reality, less educated, lower income and more rural voters are less progressive than other voters. That's true in Maine and elsewhere. Platner's base is more educated, more professional and more urban. That's why he does best in ME-1 vs ME-2. #mepolitics
Tom Steyer stumbling into being California’s governor would be very, very funny.
I also think he would be surprisingly decent, maybe a slightly goofier, West Coast Pritzker.
The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable.
The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back.
We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.
Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide.
Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session.
Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.
With >95% in, the Dem-aligned candidate has a 51.2-48.8% lead in Waukesha city mayor.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.
I can’t believe there are really people like this
I hope you are okay, sending positive thoughts.
I was wondering that exact question today.
Absolutely spot on by @kevinmkruse.bsky.social (as usual), and aligns with what I wrote here in response to AI evangelists among political scientists.
Good writing isn’t just good syntax. It’s also good thinking. And while it can be hard, doing it well is rewarding! substack.com/@mirandayave...
evers isn’t ‘exciting’ but the fact that he followed up scott walker and helped pull wisconsin back from the brink - and is still holding the line for trans people here - is worth a whole lot
he hasn’t been able to do much legislation-wise because of the GOP but he’s been a beacon of decency
Term limits destroy institutional knowledge and create a constant churn of amateurs who need to learn how to legislate.
It empowers corporate interests, which is why they push the issue.
