Here are my questions for “Co-Presidents” Donald Trump and Elon Musk: Why are you eliminating the funds for reading teachers when students who struggle to read are on the rise? Why are you eliminating the funds for medical research when diabetes, cancer and heart disease are on the rise? Why are you causing economic havoc […]

Letter: Wording removal doesn’t change the climate problem
‘Drill, baby, drill’ is comparable to Nero fiddling while Rome burned.

Letter: Sen. Collins needs to relay Mainers’ concerns to Trump, Musk
Sen. Susan Collins now holds one of the most powerful positions in Congress. The President Trump-Elon Musk team has described Social Security as a scam. Trump and Musk want to provide outrageous income tax protections to themselves and their billionaire class at tremendous costs to working Americans as they destroy the U.S. government. They are […]

Letter: A solution to ending trans athletes’ unfair advantage
I find it ironic that Rep. Laurel Libby has come under so much pressure for showing the photo of the girls’ state champion in pole vaulting on her Facebook page. Any athlete contending for a state title, in any sport, can expect to see their picture on the pages of any Maine news outlet. It […]

Letter: Women’s rights are being trampled
I don’t dislike or hate transgender people. What I hate is that women like our mothers fought so hard for women’s rights and protections, especially in sports, and now they are being trampled and destroyed by young men transferring to female. They already have male hormones raging through their bodies, which make them stronger and […]

I know that fact-checkers scrutinize his speeches, but in today’s polarized climate, that hardly matters. Networks that challenge Trump are dismissed as partisan, deepening our political divide. But regardless of political affiliation, we […]

Letter: Mourning the loss of a heeling experience
I’m writing about the March 9 Maine Sunday Telegram report on the loss of local cobblers. We used to count on these shops for repairing our shoes. As a Heels, I’m particularly disappointed about the decline of these shoe shops. I used to go into a shop to have the heels on my shoes replaced […]

Letter: Let there be fairness on youth playing fields
I have a granddaughter in Georgia who competes at a high level on her travel soccer team. Though she’s one of their youngest, she leads her teammates in virtually every statistical category, and making the Olympic team is her cherished goal. I can’t imagine how my son would feel if a collision with a transgender […]

Letter: Bidding farewell to L.L.Bean products
We have been L.L.Bean customers for many years, ordering from its much anticipated catalog. A highlight of a cross-country camping trip last year was shopping at an L.L.Bean outlet store in Maine. Products we have purchased include flannel sheets, towels, waterhog mats (the best), Boat and Tote bags, toiletry kits, L.L.Bean boots (the best, I […]
