I’m writing to convey my deep appreciation for Sen. Angus King’s speech honoring the legacy of Sen. Margaret Chase Smith’s courageous opposition to McCarthyism 75 years ago next month. In today’s politics, her ascension to the Senate might be considered a DEI hire. King’s address calls to mind the powerful warning issued by Martin Niemöller […]

It’s becoming more difficult to find a primary doctor, hospitals are closing, and this […]
