The Trump White House team even lies when talking about the truth. During the Oct. 7 debate, Vice President Mike Pence said the Trump administration has “always” told the American people the truth. Donald Trump has appointed over 200 judges. Susan Collins has effectively pulled out all the stops to enable him, having approved nearly […]

Letter to the editor: Anderson well prepared for Scarborough council
This year I am supporting Jonathan Anderson for Scarborough Town Council. Jonathan has consistently shown that he is willing and able to listen to citizens and can work well with people with diverse opinions. I know that Jonathan will be thoughtful and reasonable as decisions are being made, and will consider the values of the […]
Letter to the editor: Re-electing Collins would give more power to extremists
Sen. Susan Collins deserves credit for doing the right thing – or rather, for not doing the wrong thing: voting for the warp speed appointment of Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court. But her stance is meaningless because she is part of a Senate majority that will continue to appoint judges whose presence on the […]
Letter to the editor: Approval of waterfront warehouse overlooks key questions
Portland’s Planning Board green-lights a cold-storage facility without asking what’s going to be stored there.
Letter to the editor: As councilor, Fournier will speak for many in Portland
I am proud to lend my voice to the growing chorus of support for April Fournier for Portland City Council, at-large. April represents the best of Portland.

Let’s not overlook her nonstop lying, that she has almost no work or business experience, no relevant education, a mediocre track record in politics, can’t demonstrate that […]
Letter to the editor: Vote for Fournier, because I can’t
I dreamed of living in Portland for the rest of my life but, like many of my (young, professional) peers, recently moved to a nearby town after six years of renting in the city. Portland is becoming unaffordable for actual Mainers – even those who make median salaries. This is why I implore those of […]
Letter to the editor: Barrett’s climate answers show no understanding of basic science
When asked her views on climate change, prospective Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett replied it is a “very contentious matter of public debate” and she is “certainly not a scientist.” Fortunately, it doesn’t take a scientist to understand the basics of global warming. Middle school students know that carbon dioxide, taken up by plants […]
Letter to the editor: Bush v. Gore casts shadow over 2020 election
The SCOTUS installation of a third lawyer from George W. Bush’s 2000 case looks like an attempt to ensure a victory for the candidate who’s threatened to sue if he loses.
