Oct 2023

The situation in Maine is active, dynamic, and dramatic. Not that the problems with the GOP aren't important, but they have been ongoing for several weeks. This situation in Maine just happened, is horrific, AND the shooter is still at large and a threat to the community where the shooting occurred.

Are you implying something in your questioning about the story currently replacing other stories in the headlines?
