Outbreak: Kaci Hickox, the nurse released from quarantine in New Jersey, is threatening to sue her home state of Maine if she is not allowed out of her house today.

Joisey: Gov. Chris Christie made a splash on the Jersey shore telling a heckler to “Sit down and shut up.” A former Asbury Park city councilman was complaining about the slow pace of recovery after Superstorm Sandy two years ago. Christie said, “I’d be more than happy to have a debate with you any time you’d like, guy, because somebody like you doesn’t know a damn thing about what you’re talking about except to stand up and show off when the cameras are here. I’ve been here when the cameras aren’t here, buddy, and done the work.”

Having a Blast: Jose Canseco, the 50-year-old former major leaguer who has two World Series rings, blew off his left middle finger while cleaning his Ruger pistol.
