The Constitution Study with Host Paul Engel – Are you aware that not only have members of Congress settled sexual misconduct allegations with hush money, but that millions of taxpayer dollars were used? If you watch Senate Minority Leader Schumer's rant about the SAVE Act, could you spot the lies? What about the lie in Maine when they put a convicted mail sexual predator in a women's prison?

Researchers in the Northeast have poured 65,000 liters of red-dyed sodium hydroxide into the Gulf of Maine in order to conduct a geoengineering project which, they claim, might combat climate change.This trial—officially called the LOC-NESS project—took place last August 50 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Scientists from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution poured several tons of the bright red chemical into the water over the course of four days. The thinking is that by making the ocean more alkaline, it will suck in more CO2 from the atmosphere, and turn it into baking soda.Let's go through the details together.

One of the most striking developments during the Iran war has been the reappearance of something that used to define American media a century ago: yellow journalism. Historically, the term referred to sensationalized reporting that prioritized outrage and emotion over accuracy, often using thin sourcing and dramatic narratives to mobilize public opinion. The Spanish–American War, famously fueled by headlines like “Remember the Maine,” is the classic example.Today the structure is different, but the incentives are remarkably similar. Instead of a handful of powerful newspaper publishers driving the narrative, the modern system is decentralized. Social media users, influencers, and coordinated networks can amplify stories through algorithms until traditional outlets feel compelled to cover them simply because they are trending.All of this results in feedback loop. A rumor or distorted piece of information circulates online, gets boosted within a particular political community, and eventually becomes a topic of mainstream reporting. At that point the original claim, even if false, has successfully entered the public conversation.Politics Politics Politics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.The Five Tribes of the Iran WarThis dynamic is especially powerful because the online political ecosystem is already divided into ideological “tribes” that interpret events through their own narratives.On the left, there is what might be called the new resistance, Democrats who see every development in the war primarily through the lens of whether it helps or hurts Donald Trump politically. Alongside them sits the progressive anti-war faction, deeply skeptical of Israel and convinced the conflict validates their warnings about American interventionism.On the right, the divide is just as sharp. One faction could be described as the Gnostic MAGA movement, a group of populist conservatives who believe Trump has betrayed the movement's core promises by engaging in foreign conflict. In contrast, another faction believes Trump is right about everything, arguing that the war's early results show his strategy is working and that critics are panicking too early.Then there is a final group: the “maybe this time Trump” neoconservatives, longtime critics of the former president who nevertheless support aggressive action against Iran and therefore find themselves, temporarily, aligned with his policy.These communities overlap in complicated ways, but each one is primed to amplify certain narratives that confirm its worldview.How a Rumor Becomes “News”The mechanics of modern yellow journalism often begin with a small piece of truth that can be exaggerated or distorted. Once it is framed in a way that triggers emotional reactions inside one or more of these ideological tribes, the story spreads rapidly through reposts, commentary, and algorithmic amplification.Eventually, the rumor becomes so widely discussed that major media outlets cover it, sometimes simply to debunk it. But by that point the narrative has already achieved its goal: it has entered mainstream awareness and eroded trust in competing sources of information.In wartime, this dynamic becomes even more powerful. Governments themselves may benefit from confusion, exaggeration, or competing narratives. The battlefield isn't just physical territory, but also public perception.The deeper challenge is that the modern information ecosystem has no central referee. In the past, editors at major newspapers could decide what was credible enough to print. Today, social media algorithms and online communities perform that role collectively, often rewarding the most emotionally compelling stories rather than the most accurate ones.That means the burden increasingly falls on individuals to filter information themselves. If a story makes people furious or ecstatic instantly, that reaction is often a sign to pause before sharing it.A New Information EraThe Iran war may eventually be remembered not only for its military consequences but also for what it revealed about the way modern media operates. The sensationalism that once drove early twentieth-century newspaper empires has reappeared in a decentralized, digital form.Yellow journalism never disappeared — it's just changed and evolved to keep up with modern times. And in the middle of a war, its power to shape public perception may be greater than ever.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:02:14 - Susie Wiles00:03:38 - DHS Shutdown00:04:33 - Yellow Journalism in the Iran War Era00:29:10 - Iranian Security Chief Killed00:33:15 - Joe Kent00:39:29 - Texas AI Ad00:41:32 - Reese Gorman on Texas and Oklahoma01:12:27 - Wrap-up This is a public episode.

In a system that protects criminals while punishing the innocent, Joe's out, Patrick and Tommy expose the raw double standard tearing America apart. A Vegas judge threatens contempt charges against police for refusing to release a convicted felon with 35 arrests including drug and involuntary manslaughter while Democrats in New York, Virginia, and beyond release illegal aliens caught with Molotov cocktails and exempt themselves from the gun laws they force on everyone else. This isn't justice, it's a deliberate war on regular Americans.We cover the escalating betrayal: Zohran Mamdani's push to slash New York's estate tax exemption to $750,000, potentially seizing 50% value of family homes, while blue-state policies punish success and reward invasion. From Minnesota Democrats voting to fund rent for criminal illegals to Pennsylvania councilmen ranting about arresting ICE agents, the elite are openly declaring war on citizens using your tax dollars to fund chaos and crush dissent.Today, Patrick hosts with special guest Tommy as they break down the fightback. A Maine father suing his school for banning the National Anthem, a Pennsylvania bus driver quitting over a MAGA hat ban, and the relentless indoctrination in public schools. This episode is a no-apologies gut punch, elections stolen, rights eroded, criminals empowered, and patriots under attack. The rot is deep, but the resistance is growing. Tune in now, get angry, and get ready to fight back. You won't walk away the same.

March 14, 2026On March 15, 1820, Maine joined the Union, with national repercussions.  Maine statehood was opposed by southerners worried that it would restrict enslavement in the South, With the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 Maine men moved west, Owen Lovejoy of Maine, elected to the Illinois state legislature in 1854, became friends with up and coming lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, Legislators, many from Maine, who were worried they were losing their democracy, set out to stop the rise of Slave Power. They would form a new political party, the Republicans, Lincoln knew Maine was important to his presidential campaign. Lincoln won 62% of the vote in Maine, taking all eight of the state's electoral votes, and went on to win the 1860 election.Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

En 1715, Mme de Maintenon est auprès de Louis XIV mourant. Après la disparition de cet époux secret, elle décide de renoncer au monde. Mais est-ce seulement possible quand on a été l'un des personnages les plus importants de son temps ?Plongez dans les derniers instants du règne de Louis XIV, le Roi-Soleil, alors que la gangrène dévore sa jambe et que la mort approche. Aux côtés du monarque agonisant se tient une femme d'une grande importance : Madame de Maintenon, son épouse morganatique. Évoluant dans l'ombre du pouvoir pendant près de trois décennies, cette figure énigmatique va devoir faire face à la rupture la plus forte de sa vie lorsque le roi rendra son dernier souffle.Franck Ferrand nous entraîne dans les couloirs de Versailles, au cœur de cette agonie royale où se mêlent les intrigues politiques et les tourments personnels. Nous découvrons le rôle essentiel joué par Madame de Maintenon, cette femme de petite noblesse devenue l'épouse du plus grand roi de France. Désormais veuve, elle devra naviguer entre les jeux de pouvoir de la Régence, affrontant les jalousies et les calomnies de ses ennemis.Alors que le duc d'Orléans s'empare du contrôle du royaume, Madame de Maintenon se retire à Saint-Cyr, l'école qu'elle a fondée. Mais son influence et son attachement au duc du Maine, le fils naturel de Louis XIV, la maintiennent au cœur des débats qui agitent la cour.

Host/Producer: Glen Mittelhauser Recorded while sailing east along the Maine coast in the summer of 2025, this episode reflects on the striking absence of visible plastic at sea and the far more pervasive presence of microplastics throughout the water column. Glen explains how these long-lived fragments move through marine food webs, from plankton and shellfish to birds and seals, and why reducing single-use plastics remains one of the most direct ways individuals can make a difference. More information about Maine Natural History can be found at mainenaturalhistory.org. About the hosts: Glen Mittelhauser founded Maine Natural History Observatory (MNHO) in 2003 to fill the need for an organization that specializes in collecting, interpreting, and maintaining datasets for understanding changes in Maine's plant and wildlife populations.  Glen received his Bachelor's in Human Ecology from College of the Atlantic in 1989 with a focus in the biological sciences and received his Master of Science degree in Zoology (with a focus on ornithology and statistics) from the University of Maine in 2000. Glen was the Managing Editor for Northeastern Naturalist and Southeastern Naturalist for 18 years and has served as external graduate faculty for 3 graduate student committees at the University of Maine.  Glen currently serves on the Baxter State Park Research Committee. Logan Parker is an Ecologist residing in Waldo County, Maine. Logan started the Maine Nightjar Monitoring Project in 2017 and brought the project (and his passion for bird conservation) to MNHO when he joined the team in 2018. Logan is heavily involved in the ongoing Maine Bird Atlas where he both coordinates and participates in the project's special species surveys. When “off the clock”, Logan enjoys birding, writing, gardening, and working alongside his wife, Hallee, on their off-grid home in the Maine woods. Logan is also a wildlife photographer and shares photos and field notes through his project, Here In The Wild.

REDIFF - A la toute fin du printemps 2002, Mickaël Jouis, 25 ans, était retrouvé mort au pied d'une petite falaise, dans un village du Maine-et-Loire. Un décès sans cause officielle, sans explication médicale, sans trace de coup apparente. Pour les autorités, l'explication était vite trouvée. Une mauvaise chute après une soirée trop arrosée avec la jeunesse locale. Les parents, Marc et Marie-Josèphe devaient se faire une raison, se résoudre à la fatalité d'un non-lieu. Sauf que dans cette affaire, des indices, des déclarations des témoignages ne vont jamais cesser d'émerger.

Built to defend Maine from an invasion that never came, Fort Knox became a granite monument to fear, pride, and a war that had already passed it by. But inside its cold stone corridors, visitors still report drifting tobacco smoke, heavy footsteps, shadow figures, and the voice of a child calling for her mother... as if the fort has spent all these years guarding something far older than the river.

https://slasrpodcast.com/      SLASRPodcast@gmail.com  Welcome to Episode 226 of the Sounds Like a Search and Rescue podcast. This week we're joined by Jim Thorsen, who just returned from an incredible trip that took him from trekking in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal to nearly a month traveling across India—temples, safaris, a sunrise at the Taj Mahal, tea plantations, Kerala backwaters, and the full sensory overload of cities like Delhi and Mumbai. We're also welcoming back our own Stomp, who returns for a special segment on communication in the wilderness—covering how hikers can better prepare, stay connected when things go sideways, and why good communication is often the difference between a minor problem and a full-blown rescue. Plus we've got a bunch of New Hampshire topics including shoulder-season hiking reminders as the weather warms up but winter refuses to leave, the upcoming live show at the Mountain Wanderer, some political drama around the Fryeburg Fair in Maine, a look at how the Common Man welcome centers somehow turned rest stops into a $25-million operation, maple syrup season ramping up across the Granite State, gear talk including a snowshoe sale and waterproofing strategies, a music minute featuring Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by the Smashing Pumpkins, updates from Dave somewhere down the Appalachian Trail around Neel's Gap, recent hikes, listener shout-outs, and of course a dad joke that probably should have stayed in the notebook.
