From Gov. Janet Mills’ message Friday “vetoing L.D. 1911, An Act to Automatically Seal Criminal History Record Information/or Certain Crimes”: This bill would direct the Judicial Branch to review decades of criminal docket files—much of this work by hand—to identify those that are to be removed from the public record. The sealing of these records would occur without regard for whether the subjects of the files have requested that they be sealed, whether victims have objected, or whether a compelling public interest exists in the records remaining accessible. There are several significant problems with the legislation. First, as drafted, L.D.…

Editor’s note: This is the second installment of a two-part article. The first installment appeared in the January/February 2026 issue. Banachek originally wrote this tribute to James “The Amazing” Randi for The International Brotherhood of Magicians. We are thankful he let us publish it here as well.

He would do multiple phone interviews in the morning, TV and radio shows in the afternoon, and newspaper interviews in between. Once, Mike Edwards and I were staying at Randi’s house. We were sleeping in the living room attached to his…

Corruption is the senator’s main concern. However, they also worry that stablecoin use in Gaza will further aggravate the enclave’s separation from the West Bank, where Israeli shekels are the currency. The lawmakers also ask, “Has the ‘Board of Peace’ consulted with the Palestine Monetary Authority on the introduction of this stablecoin? Have Palestinian officials had the opportunity to provide input on the development of this stablecoin? [I would bet no]…Would the stablecoin be used to surveil the transactions of Palestinians?” And they have other questions, as who in their right mind wouldn’t? Of particular concern to these four lawmakers…
