The American taxpayer needs to be aware that the Trump administration has created a $1.776 billion “fund” for “wronged” allies of the president, after he agreed to discontinue a lawsuit against the IRS. This is problematic. The approval of this settlement comes directly from the president himself and the settlement is funded with taxpayer dollars. […]

Young Maine voters should back Nirav Shah | Letter
After the war in Iran began, my teacher asked why the conflict was not being discussed among my peers. Today, political debates are rarely initiated by students and this shift exposes a wider problem among our youth: a significant decline in civil discourse. Students hesitate to speak about their political beliefs, fearing social ostracization. Many […]

NYT interview made me a Platner supporter | Letter
I recently watched a lengthy interview with Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Graham Platner by the New York Times’ Lulu Garcia-Navarro. I have been a supporter of Gov.

Trump’s IRS deal is a new low | Letter
Arguably, President Trump is the most corrupt president in U.S. history. He certainly is the most corrupt president in my 74 years. In addition to his sale of White House memorabilia, his cryptocurrency corruption, his “reallocation” of $1.25 billion of our money for his Board of Peace, the “pay to play” oligarchs who surround him, […]

Susan Collins no longer represents Maine | Letter
Why is Sen. Susan Collins so silent? President Trump has established an unconstitutional slush fund to pay supporters; he takes gifts from Qataris and others; he has enriched himself by $4 billion; he enables his sons and son-in-law to profit on government contracts; he obstructs the release of the full Epstein file trove as required by […]

Trump slush fund for ‘victimized’ allies is all wrong | Letter
Our president is so convinced that the world is a brutal and dangerous place that he is creating that very world. He is so convinced everyone is out to get him that he is out to get them first. He is paranoid and narcissistic and acts with delusions of grandeur. The creation by the Justice […]
