Mainers will confront established Trump loyalist Sen. Susan Collins at the polls. She needs replacing, and Graham Platner is the answer. In 1933, wealthy businessmen hatched a plan, based on Italy’s and Germany’s fascist governments, to overthrow President Franklin Roosevelt. Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Smedley D. Butler was offered millions of dollars to organize veterans […]

Graham Platner must win | Letter
Pine Tree Results Super PAC is spending millions of dollars to try to convince Mainers that Sen. Susan (I know I said I would only serve for two terms, but I didn’t realize how profitable it would be) Collins cares about the state and that Graham Platner is too risky for Maine. Details, details, details. […]

Someone who supports American families and the children from which they rise in our society ought reasonably to want full and unfettered health care access for all American women of childbearing age. How does Sen. Susan Collins sleep at night knowing about the harm to women because of her vote for Brett Kavanaugh? Collins was […]

Trump ending war with Iran is nothing to celebrate | Letter
One of the most famous photographs ever taken is of an American sailor passionately kissing a woman in Times Square while celebrating Japan’s surrender ending World War II. Fast forward 81 years and here we are, our most recent war of choice against Iran (seemingly) ended with an entirely different kind of surrender. We may […]

I read, with good humor, Louis Phillips’ recent letter suggesting appropriate institutions to carry our current president’s name in his honor (“Kennedy Center consolation prizes for the president,” June 18). While very much on target, I’m afraid that these places may be on a scale a bit too small for Mr. Trump given his large […]

The president is hitting new lows | Letter
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 […]
