Last update: 31 minutes ago

Global Fishing Costs: Reuters reports Maine lobstermen are staying dockside longer as diesel prices spike amid the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran—Captain Chris Welch says he’s stretching trips from every 4–5 days to every 7–10 to protect thin margins, a squeeze that could ripple into food supply. Maine Power & Safety: Versant Power restored service in Mapleton after emergency substation repairs, while a CMP substation shooter was charged again after an FBI probe. Politics in Motion: Graham Platner’s national profile keeps growing—Time just put him on its cover—while Democrats and Republicans look ahead to the June 9 primary and the Susan Collins matchup. Legal Fight Over Healthcare Training: California AG Rob Bonta joins a coalition suing to block Trump-era student loan limits for nurses and other healthcare workers. Community Relief: Local hardware stores in Damariscotta and Randolph are running a register-roundup fundraiser for Robbins Lumber explosion victims in Searsmont. Business & Housing: Maine’s free-college debate continues as Oregon considers ending its promise program, and home-insurance costs show early signs of cooling in a new report.
