Letter to the editor: Sen. King a protector of benefits for seniors, deserves another term
I was driving along Baxter Boulevard on Oct. 12. I turned on my radio and was happy to hear independent Sen. Angus King’s voice on “Maine Calling.” A caller had asked Sen. King about the growing national debt and the president’s tax cuts. I am a senior citizen and rely on my Social Security and […]

Letter to the editor: Give Ringelstein a chance to put middle class and others before corporations
Every politician I ever voted for left me disappointed. Growing up, I learned that we had a very different government than the one from history class.

Letter to the editor: Angus King, a true public servant, has done a lot for young Mainers
It would be nearly impossible to express all the ways our independent senator, Angus King, has bettered my life as a young Mainer.

Letter to the editor: Collins should use political clout to pursue climate change solution
U.S. Sen. Susan Collins has plenty of political capital. Witness how the country held its breath before she eventually voted for Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court. She dominated the news.

Letter to the editor: Columnist’s agenda not welcome in food section
Re: “Vegan Kitchen: Meat and seafood lovers are fickle about love for animals” (Oct. 24): Columnist Avery Yale Kamila’s proselytizing belongs on the op-ed page, not in the food section.

Because of the sophistication of the nerve agent used to kill Kim, it is widely believed that his half brother, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, is responsible for ordering the murder. In March, Russian dissident Sergei Skripal, his daughter […]

Letter to the editor: Challenge of climate change is daunting, but there are tools at your disposal
The recent report about climate change was deeply upsetting, and I understand that it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. But I invite you to take a different approach and view it as an opportunity. This is the perfect moment to reflect on what you value. Living here in Maine, odds are you value our […]
