Can you imagine the fury that would have been unleashed at the hearings on Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s nomination to the Supreme Court if it had come out that her husband had been active in radical politics and conspiracies on the opposite side of the equation from Virginia Thomas?

Letter to the editor: Collins should marshal Republican support for Jackson
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is one of the most qualified Supreme Court nominees ever.

Letter to the editor: Change landscaping to reduce carbon
While it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by dire news about climate change, some parts of the climate solution lie very close to home – in our own yards!

Letter to the editor: Funding needed for Maine children and families
Thank you to Shawn Yardley and Stephanie Watson-Todd for their Maine Voices column that clearly outlined where we’re failing Maine’s children and families. (“We have an opportunity right now to make families stronger,” March 12). It’s simple: We either provide the kinds of supports that families with young children need now, or we pay for […]
