Maine has passed a click-to-cancel law, meaning that if a business offers a signup online you must also be able to cancel the subscription online.
The new law comes right after a federal court blocked the national click-to-cancel rule.

New state law makes it easier to cancel subscriptions

Very important set of questions for everyone to focus on here. DOGE isn't just doing the destroying. It's also handing out all the govt contracts to its overseer and his friends. Some of this is (good) assumption below. But a lot of this has already happened.
This is an important article about DOGE from @wired.com , but I hope there's a part 2 that focuses on a few important questions:
First, which AI tools are they using, and what's the process for determining that? Quite obviously, this will be a corrupt process designed to pay-off Trump's oligarchs.

Musk’s loyalists at DOGE have infiltrated dozens of federal agencies, pushed out tens of thousands of workers, and siphoned millions of people’s most sensitive data. The next step: Unleash the AI.
