Send Trump back to where he came from
Donald Trump is right. I’m a Jew, I’m a Democrat, and I’m disloyal. I’m disloyal to him. The president has never disguised his fear of Latinos, African Americans, Muslims, women, gays and lesbians, people with disabilities, or the working class. Now he’s added Jews to his list.

Congress must hold Big Pharma accountable
Patients across Maine are grappling with the high prices of prescription drugs. While patients are going to extreme measures to pay for their medication, drug companies have raised prices on almost 3,500 drugs in the first six months of the year.
