Maine’s lobster industry is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. But two lobstermen have very different views of whether Sen. Susan Collins is still the right person to represent them in Washington. I went out on the water to hear why. 🦞 #mesen #maine #Midterms2026

"It's the last thing we need." Question: Why does the city keep approving liquor licenses in Wards 7 &8? Neighbors in Kingman Park called me and asked me to find out. A story you'll only see here. #DC #liquor #KingmanPark #news #reporter #Community #business

Susan Saint James, the Emmy-winning actress who starred opposite Rock Hudson in “McMillan & Wife” and Jane Curtin in the CBS sitcom “Kate & Allie,” died Monday at 80 years old after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Saint James’ family described her as someone “generous with her time and energy, which she valued more than money, and instinctively drawn to whoever needed lifting up. She taught her children to pause, be kind and look out for other people. She never met a stranger. Every person she met became the most important person in the room at that moment, from a fellow board member to the clerk at the shoe store, who usually walked away knowing her entire life story.” (via People) variety.com/2026/tv/news/sus…

It looks like outcry by folks like Warnock and Buttigieg over lackluster investment in the South has been heard: The Senate Majority PAC announced today a new $1 million ad buy in Mississippi in support of Scott Colom. Pressure works.

#TheDiplomat is a reminder that dictators and bad leaders are not able to do any of it alone — enablers around them empower them.

YOU CAN'T BAN A VOICE. "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" was the #3 most challenged book of the 1990s and #6 of the 2000s. In 2026, the fight continues. This #BannedBooksWeek, we stand for Dr. Maya Angelou's words and everyone's freedom to read them. #LetBooksBe

As Republicans demonize @AngieNixon, and JD Vance tells her "you don't belong in America," they run the risk of having it backfire. Nixon can be a compelling figure. Here she is getting emotional when I asked her to tell voters something personal about herself. @CBSMiami
