This is the tip of the iceberg with Trump | Letter
So, we have a president who authorizes murder on international waters with neither evidence nor accountability, who destroys part of the White House with no accountability and who pardons a multitude of criminals convicted of very serious crimes. We have a president who will not spend allocated funds in reserve to ensure those in need here […]

Tired of government shutdown shenanigans | Letter
Every day it’s the same old stuff on the news about the government shutdown and who is at fault. It doesn’t matter what network we watch. I think the conservatives should use the nuclear option and get it over with already. There are people who need their SNAP benefits and we have this petty argument each […]

Elevating coastal buildings in Maine is a fool’s errand | Letter
A recent Press Herald article described the decision by a South Portland family (in the wake of January 2024 storms that damaged their home) to elevate the structure 5 feet, resting it on pylons at a cost of $500,000. They have the money, required permits and a contractor specializing in this type of work. The […]

Susan Collins refuses to protect our health care | Letter
If it weren’t for the Affordable Care Act (ACA) I would not have been able to open two restaurants and create more than a dozen jobs. If not for ACA health care coverage, when I had a pregnancy complication that resulted in a $40,000 hospital bill, we would’ve gone bankrupt and been forced to shut […]

We will survive Donald Trump | Letter
Donald Trump doesn’t have an agenda to solve problems. Instead, he offers a platform for his supporters to air their grievances. Trump wants to destroy his political opponents. He ignores our democratic institutions. He has demonized Black people, Hispanic people, gays and anyone else who opposes him. So, why do people support him? Trump has […]
