A Bangor man and his 3-year-old son were out gardening when a neighbor's aggressive pit bull charged. The man did as any father should, and took action to protect his child. After misleading reporting by other media outlets, a lynch mob leaked his business card online. He was bombarded with death threats via phone, email and social media. We interviewed the man and obtained security footage of the incident. It's an unbelievable story:

Probably the most surreal 'zombie' home health care office we've seen yet. Zahraa Home Care, run out of a trailer, billed MaineCare for $233,392.39 in 2025. After filming this video, we were able to get in touch with the owner (not through the listed phone number on the sign), who told us the business did not have a permit. He also told us they only have one client... But good news. They're hiring!

Former Lewiston City Councilor Tim Gallant gives an impassioned speech in opposition to the city's emergency anti-ICE order: "How many gunshot issues have we had since ICE came to town? How about zero? Look at the police blotter. Zero. When's the last time we had 3 or 4 months of zero problems? But that don't count. That's not a crime problem, obviously, to the mayor." After a lengthy public comment, the proposal passed 5-2.

"The money you guys raised is missing." Benjamin Dyer was shot five times during the Lewiston shooting. He lost his finger, his bicep, his tricep, and was in the hospital for 19 days fighting for his life. He took the stand in Lewiston last night, seeking accountability for the Lewiston shooting money that was shipped away to unrelated non-profits. How did the council react? One councilor, Scott Harriman, couldn't even be bothered to look at him.
