Protesters shoo Gov. #JanetMills from Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero’s memorial in #BiddefordME

‘Don’t come back up here unless you got results!’ one person yelled at the governor.

by Drew Johnson, Dylan Tusinski, July 15, 2026

"Angry protesters on Wednesday shooed Gov. Janet Mills from a memorial for #JohanSebastiánDuránGuerrero at the intersection where he was killed this week by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Video posted by the Boston Globe showed a crowd yelling at Mills, who was in Biddeford to meet with local leaders and pay respects to Guerrero. Mills had called for ICE to take certain measures or be abolished at a press conference earlier in the day.

" 'Do something!” one person shouted.'

" 'You had never cared about us!'

" 'That’s another dead body!' yelled another. 'Don’t come back up here unless you got results!' "

#JDVance accuses Israel of secret plot against him and drops #MossadEpstein bombshell in explosive #JoeRogan interview

By PHILLIP NIETO, US POLITICAL REPORTER

Published: 16:07 EDT, 15 July 2026 | Updated: 17:22 EDT, 15 July 2026

"JD Vance has claimed he is the target of an Israeli-funded propaganda campaign over his Iran peace push, and that #JeffreyEpstein had ties to the 'highest levels' of #Mossad.

"The vice president made the explosive allegations during a nearly three-hour sit-down with podcaster Joe Rogan.

"Vance pointed to a Time magazine report he said proved American influencers were being paid to attack the Iran deal. The report notes that money has flowed through a former Trump campaign operative and is bankrolled by elements of the Israeli government.

" 'My response to that is, well, go to hell,' Vance said of those taking the cash to smear him. The vice president, who complained he has been branded an anti-Semite, declared that Israel is losing the public opinion battle in America.

"He also said that 'figures' inside the Israeli government are manipulating American public opinion to keep the war going 'indefinitely.'

"Vance then shifted to the administration's handling of the Epstein scandal, revealing that the disgraced financier 'clearly had connections to the highest levels of American intelligence' and 'Israeli intelligence.'

"When Rogan noted that most people believe Epstein was working for Mossad, the vice president did not dispute it. Vance noted that it was Mossad 'or CIA or some other deep state, whether in America or Israel or another country or both.'

"Vance, who described himself as a 'conspiracy theorist' on Epstein, said that anything tying the pedophile to spy agencies was likely destroyed after 2006 - when the financier was first arrested."

#Maine rejects #JusticeDepartment’s request for all #voters’ personal info, list of election officials

Secretary of State #ShennaBellows' responded to the request by telling the DOJ to "go jump in the Gulf of Maine."

by Dylan Tusinski, July 29, 2025

AUGUSTA — "Maine is denying the U.S. Department of Justice access to its voter registration records, state officials said Tuesday, rejecting an unprecedented request for sensitive voter data that the Trump administration has now delivered to all 50 states.

"A letter late last week to Secretary of State Shenna Bellows and signed by Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General Michael Gates claims Maine had roughly 11,000 voters with duplicate registration. It requested the state’s entire voter registration list dating back to November 2022 'to ensure that ineligible voters are being removed.'

"The state has 14 days to respond to the letter dated July 24.

"Bellows, who is also a Democratic candidate for governor, said in a press conference Tuesday the Trump administration is overstepping its bounds, empowering false narratives and 'trying to change the topic away from the Epstein files.'

" 'Article 1 of the Constitution places the states — not President Trump, not the federal government — in charge of federal elections,' she said. 'The DOJ doesn’t get to know everything about you just because they want to.'

"Bellows’ office is coordinating with Maine’s Office of Attorney General to draft a formal response, she said.
The Maine Republican Party has previously claimed widespread voter fraud across the state, but a subsequent investigation by Bellows’ office concluded this month and found those claims were baseless. Just because someone is registered to vote in two different towns doesn’t mean they intended to vote twice. Often, it simply means that they moved between elections.

"A spokesman for Maine Senate Republicans declined to comment on the DOJ’s request or Bellows’ response. Other Maine GOP officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

"In addition to #VoterRegistration information, the DOJ also has requested the names of local election officials as well as information about noncitizens, felons, and deceased people’s alleged participation in Maine elections following President Donald Trump’s repeated false claims that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen from him.

" 'Please provide a description of the steps that Maine has taken, and when those steps were taken, to identify registered voters who are ineligible to vote as well as the procedures it used to remove those ineligible voters from the registration list,' the DOJ’s letter reads.

"The DOJ has not publicly said why they are seeking voter records across the country. Asked about the request to Maine and other states, spokesperson Pierson Furnish replied in an email 'No comment.'

"The first Trump administration similarly made requests to view all Americans’ voter information in 2017. Then-Secretary of State Matt Dunlap said at the time he would release voters’ names, ages, residences and districts with the government, as allowed by Maine law.

"The American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] of Maine said the DOJ’s actions both now and then are part of 'a clear pattern of intimidation' and applauded Bellows’ refusal to share voters’ information.

" 'This letter also fuels #FalseNarratives that sow distrust in our elections. Maine elections are safe, secure, and accessible, and that’s why Maine consistently has some of the highest voter turnout,' said Samuel Crankshaw, the group’s communications director. 'Our government should focus on helping more people exercise their fundamental rights.'

Maine’s voter turnout is reliably high compared to other states and more Mainers voted in 2024 than in any election before, according to state voting data.

"The Justice Department initially reached out to swing states like #Michigan, #Arizona and #Wisconsin, where local election clerks have reported federal agents requesting broad access to the states’ #RegistrationRolls and #VotingMachines.

Now, Bellows said all 50 states have received similar letters. #Maine, #Minnesota and #NewHampshire are the only states to have rejected the requests so far."

#Maine Secretary of State says she’s been #doxed after standing up to #ICE

By WGME-TV Staff | Sinclair National Desk

PUBLISHED: February 2, 2026 at 2:22 PM EST | UPDATED: February 3, 2026 at 8:53 AM EST

"Maine Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate #ShennaBellows says she has been doxed after coming out against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"Bellows says her home address and personal contact information were spread online. She says this has led to herself and members of her family receiving threats.

"But for Bellows, this is not the first time she has been targeted. She says she was #swatted in 2023 for calling to remove President Donald #Trump from the ballot.
Bellows insists it’s a scare tactic, and that she will not give in to fear.

" 'Unfortunately, when I spoke out against #ICE and when I refused to allow ICE to have access to undercover license plates because a government agency and law enforcement should identify themselves as a government entity and law enforcement if they are going to be arresting people in the streets,' Bellows said."

#Trump is pushing to institutionalize #homeless people. That may include #veterans

by Quil Lawrence, June 25, 2026

Excerpt: "More than 30,000 U.S. military veterans are homeless, according to the latest government data from an annual one-night 'point in time count.' That number is down significantly in the past decade, which most experts credit to a straightforward combination of robust funding and a philosophy focused on offering housing without prerequisites, called housing first.

"While the Trump administration has promised new housing for vets, President Trump also signed an executive order last year titled 'Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets,' which leans heavily toward institutionalizing #HomelessPeople against their will. This winter, NPR obtained slides describing a proposed #VeteransAdministration plan called '#SafeHarbor,' which would include veterans in that shift to involuntary treatment. Then, in March, the VA put out a memorandum of understanding with the Justice Department about state court guardianship for veterans." [!!!]
