Trump megadonor Steve Wynn has filed a petition asking the Supreme Court to overturn the landmark 1964 decision in New York Times v. Sullivan, which protects the media's ability to aggressively cover public officials. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24/2…

🧵 In a highly unusual move, the FCC has asked CBS News to hand over the unedited transcript and tapes from its interview with VP Kamala Harris last fall. CBS says "we are working to comply with that inquiry as we are legally compelled to do."

Hi @WIRED. If you’re old enough to hold down a high-ranking full time job with the federal government, you are most certainly old enough to be named by the press.

Federal data tells a very different story about DHHS and child welfare in Maine than the one I hear being told by politicians. My latest for the @mainemonitor. themainemonitor.org/dhhs-moving-ag…

Eye-opening story by @sawyerloftus18. Maine is unique in excluding people in public housing from eviction assistance funds, so instead of helping a woman who owed $950 in back rent, taxpayers spent $55,000 to house her in a homeless shelter for two years. bangordailynews.com/2024/12/12/mai…

Wrote about how the Maine Supreme Court must decide about disciplining a sitting justice, a first. I also found that Justice Connors seems to still have a financial stake in one of Maine's largest law firms, which also lobbies the legislature. themainemonitor.org/uncharted-recu…

This is the first time the Committee on Judicial Conduct has recommended discipline against a judge on the Supreme Court. Now, Maine’s highest court must decide how to judge one of its own members, with history and law offering little guidance. READ: buff.ly/3UYs7lJ

In a quarter of Maine House races, one of the major parties didn’t bother to run a candidate. For this story, I talked with a Maine lawmaker running for a fourth term that has never faced an opponent — either in the primary or general. themainemonitor.org/one-major-part…

Why we need professional journalists: @JDVance rep tells @WSJ about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so @Kris_Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.

I went deep on a story that shows how a Maine town’s desire to fix its workforce housing crisis rises or falls on the machinations of its wealthy donor class (who only live there a few months a year). From Mount Desert Island for the @mainemonitor themainemonitor.org/mdi-workforce-…
