Enough’s enough. When will Republican lawmakers in Washington stand up and say what most of us know? Donald Trump is not fit to be president. How can they back a so-called leader who continually makes up stories: claiming the Italian prime minister wanted to have a photo taken with him because he felt sorry for […]

Stunned by Hannah Pingree’s victory | Letter
I can’t believe that Hannah Pingree won the Democratic primary for governor in Maine. Don’t Democratic people realize that Pingree worked for Gov. Janet Mills, who ruined Maine? Maine schools ranked 43rd in the country because students are failing in math and reading. Hospitals are failing because of the lack of doctors. Medicare is down […]

Maine’s pedestrians also need to do their part | Letter
Pedestrian fatalities are cause for concern. So is the careless pedestrian behavior that makes them hard to avoid.

Those who serve the struggling deserve respect, not abuse | Letter
Staff and volunteers at the Maine Recovery Access Project Center in Augusta spend countless hours supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our community. They show up for people struggling with addiction, hunger and homelessness. They do this work not because it is easy, but because they genuinely care. What’s troubling is instead of […]

The obscenity of Elon Musk’s $1 trillion | Letter
Elon Musk’s recent achievement of $1 trillion net worth (now back to $957 billion) only serves to underline America’s obscene inequality. Compared to Warren Buffet (Forbes’ 10th-richest man, at $150 billion), there’s very little that Musk’s additional $850 billion nets him: private islands, super yachts, private jets and a car collection combined can merely put […]

Put Trump’s vanity project in perspective | Letter
On the subject of the Great American State Fair, President Trump recently stated: “I am thinking about bringing the Number One Attraction anywhere in the World, the man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime . . . DONALD J. TRUMP, to take the place of these highly paid, Third-Rate ‘Artists.’” (Sun Journal, […]

Delighted by return of ‘From the Garden’ column | Letter
Many thanks for bringing back Tom Atwell’s “From The Garden” column last Sunday. I have sorely missed seeing it. I have seen their gardens and I realize the great effort they put into making their property a fine example of what we, too, can accomplish. I hope that the column will become a regular feature […]

We must continue the fight for women’s rights | Letter
Four years ago, the Supreme Court ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion. Extremists played the long game, building a machine denying women their human rights, their privacy and their access to healthcare. Working in women’s healthcare for 40 years, I can say with certainty that no woman enjoys making the difficult decision to […]

Maine voters are paying attention to Israeli-Palestinian conflict | Letter
The recent Democratic Party primary wins of Graham Platner and Matt Dunlap point to a momentous change: Palestine now matters in Maine politics. The Gaza genocide and economic populism are driving voter change. Endless images of dismembered children, a revolt against sending our tax dollars overseas and rising gas prices blamed on the U.S.-Israeli war […]
