Iranian drone strikes have inflicted major damage on multiple U.S. military bases across the Middle East, with exclusive CBS photos revealing shattered aircraft, destroyed vehicles, and ruined facilities — including at Prince Sultan, Camp Buehring, and Camp Arifjan. A deployed service member voiced frustration that the public isn’t being fully informed, calling the situation “defenseless” amid repeated attacks. Just last week, Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao confirmed damage to Naval Support Activity Bahrain, leaving the USS Abraham Lincoln stranded without docking or resupply options. The incidents underscore a growing crisis in regional defense capabilities and the escalating threat of drone warfare.

Republicans are staging a rare, high-stakes midterm convention in Dallas this week, turning it into a Trump-centric spectacle designed to energize the base just two months before Election Day. While some GOP leaders like John Thune attend despite past disagreements with Trump, others—including Michigan’s Tom Barrett—skip it to focus on local races. Democrats are seizing the moment, framing Trump’s agenda as a liability and highlighting Republican unity behind him as a political liability. Meanwhile, candidates like Roger Marshall argue Trump’s policies are effectively on the ballot, and some Republicans are boycotting the event over mandatory $25K donations to the NRCC, revealing deeper tensions within the party as they brace for a pivotal midterms test.

Maine’s marine mammal rescue team just shattered records this summer, rehabilitating more seal pups than ever before—and five were successfully released back into the wild at Head Beach. Executive Director Lynda Doughty urges everyone to act: if you spot a distressed animal, call their 24/7 hotline. Your eyes—and photos—can be lifesaving. Many pups were harmed by human interference; keep your distance (at least 150 feet) and remember, seals often rest on land. If you see any stranded marine mammal, live or dead, call them. Every report could mean a second chance at life.

Gas prices are surging again, hitting $4.15 a gallon for regular and even higher for diesel, driven by global supply chaos tied to Iran’s conflict and U.S. demand for heavy crude. Refineries on the Gulf Coast struggle with lighter domestic oil, worsening shortages. A new Venezuela deal could eventually ease pressure by supplying heavier crude and replenishing the Strategic Reserve. While ending Iran’s turmoil might help, the focus remains on boosting U.S. refining and balancing energy needs with consumer affordability.

Brent crude surges past $101 a barrel for the first time since May, fueled by escalating tensions and attacks on oil tankers involving U.S. and Iranian forces—Secretary Rubio warns Iran’s targeting of U.S. ships will cost them access to tankers. Fuel prices are skyrocketing: diesel averages $5.94 nationally, up 26 cents in a week, with some Western states hitting $6–$7, compared to $3.70 last year. Experts predict a $6 national diesel average is now inevitable, while regular gas climbs to $4.22, with some states exceeding $5. The average American family is paying over $770 more due to this conflict—prices would’ve stayed near $2.99 and $3.83 without it. With midterms looming, politicians face mounting pressure as voters grapple with rising costs, recalling Trump’s promise to halve gas prices—and Democrats highlighting how Americans are working harder for less amid soaring expenses.

Rain’s rolling in Wednesday night—expect a quarter to three-quarters of an inch, with scattered showers earlier—but brace for a dramatic shift: Thursday brings sunshine, warmth into the low 80s, and gusty northwest winds up to 35 mph.

Grab your umbrella Wed, shed layers Thurs—it’s classic September weather turning up the heat.

Dead clams and worms are washing up on Maine’s coast, sending out a foul stench of decay—and scientists are racing to figure out why. Harbormasters are urging locals to snap photos and report sightings as officials from the Maine Department of Marine Resources and Casco Bay researchers scramble to map the outbreak. One leading theory points to a toxic algal bloom—similar to a past disaster caused by Karenia mikimotoi—but confirmation is still pending. With the shellfish industry at risk and environmental stakes high, community reports are critical to understanding what’s happening—and how to stop it before it spreads.
