LEWISTON — Justice Daniel E. Wathen will be the featured guest for next week’s Great Falls Forum held at the Lewiston Public Library. Wathen, former chief justice of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, chaired the work of last year’s Commission to Investigate the Facts of the Tragedy in Lewiston, a commission created by Gov. Janet Mills which was charged with determining the facts around the Oct. 25, 2023, mass shooting, from the months preceding the tragedy and through the police response to it.

“Democrats are like the Yankees,” said one of the most memorable tweets to come across on X after Election Day. “Spent hundreds of millions of dollars to lose the big series and no one got fired or was held accountable.”Too sad.

Of all the neighborhoods in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district, one stood out on Election Day as a considerable surprise. The left-wing congresswoman represents a very diverse population ranging from struggling immigrants in Queens and a piece of The Bronx to young professionals gentrifying areas right across the river from Manhattan. New York’s 14th Congressional District just reelected her and went for Kamala Harris, but Donald Trump’s share of its vote rose by 50% over 2020.
