It’s good to read of private enterprises stepping into the shoes of the federal government. As much as the left enjoys vilifying capitalism and the “greedy rich,” these are the people and organizations who are stepping up to supply food banks with the needed resources to counteract the missing SNAP monies. Look at individuals, such as Michael Dell, who are donating billions of dollars to encourage our young […]

Proposed rule change will deprive nurses of education benefits | Letter
As someone who has spent many years as a hospital administrator, I know how essential nurses are to every part of our health care system. I am also grateful for the federal programs that supported my own graduate education and allowed me to enter the field of health care leadership. That support mattered, and today’s […]

Time for Maine’s congressional delegation to take the gloves off | Letter
The debacle of the illegal second strike on the survivors of the alleged Venezuelan drug boat is the latest evidence that the incompetent and criminal Trump administration has got to go. Our Maine Congress members have passively stood by for 10 months while Donald Trump and his cabinet of misfits have repeatedly violated the Constitution. […]

Look at the president’s disrespect for reporters | Letter
On Dec. 8, President Trump said to ABC reporter Rachel Scott, “You are obnoxious … terrible.” On Dec. 6, he said of CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins, “Always stupid and nasty.” On Nov. 27, he said to CBS reporter Nancy Cordes, “Are you stupid?” On Nov. 26, he called New York Times reporter Katie Rogers, “ugly.” […]

Incompetent Hegseth needs to go | Letter
I thank both Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Angus King for opposing Pete Hesgeth’s appointment as secretary of defense last January. Back then, it was painfully clear that Mr. Hegseth was a man without understanding or competence, and since his appointment, he has proven this many times over — with his mishandling of sensitive information […]

Enraged by Trump’s comments on Somali immigrants | Letter
I was incensed to see President Trump refer to our Somali-Americans, and the country they come from, as “garbage.” He uses language in a demeaning and hateful way. It is shameful to have the president of our country use infantile speech in such a hateful and disgusting way. When I served as mayor of Lewiston, I […]

Think big; support 30-story building in Portland | Letter
Our beloved city has everything we want and need, but it lacks a distinctive skyline. The spire on the Cathedral on Franklin Street is the only memorable view that welcomes drivers heading south on I-295. Let us think big — not small — in housing, in economic activity and in design. Portland’s skyline deserves to be […]

Church leaders should be denouncing Trump’s words | Letter
President Trump recently called a Somali immigrants “garbage.” Not long before that, he called a female reporter “piggy.” How revolting that we have a president who talks like this, who uses such disgusting language to describe God’s precious creations. According to press reports, activists and community leaders have called on elected officials to stand up […]
