I’d like to thank Abbey Hamilton (“MAGA is antithetical to the teachings of Christ,” Feb. 5) for articulating so clearly what many of us feel about the rise of Christian nationalism and its wrongful and damaging portrayal of the principles of Christianity. That such a young person sees deeply into the meaning and significance of […]

We must unite against Trump’s racist policies and actions | Letter
The outcry against Donald Trump’s recent racist post of the Obamas was fitting, but what strikes me more is that the post is consistent with this administration’s policies and his history, and a deafening, similar outcry should greet his actions in this policy area — and many more policy areas. A few examples in the […]

Leavitt’s ‘fake outrage’ remark was deeply insensitive | Letter
The White House press secretary should pause and take stock.

News alert on BIW protest was inaccurate | Letter
I object, strongly, to the subject line of a Portland Press Herald news alert that I received by email at about 2 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 9. It read, “Protesters clash outside Pete Hegseth’s visit to Bath Iron Works,” and implies problems that I, as a Bath city councilor, thought I should attend to immediately. […]

Climate change bills deserve Maine’s support | Letter
Climate concerns me greatly yet it appears to have been put on the back burner. We still have global warming. I know because I am a gardener. Each year produces new challenges for me: what to plant, when to plant and how to gain enough water to keep plants alive. LD 2037 supports the Regional […]

Urge divestment from private prison giant | Letter
In response to David Hyde’s Jan. 27 letter, “Just who is Stephen Miller?,” I hope to add to his offerings of Stephen Miller’s motives of perhaps hate? Governing by fear? Need for power? So here’s my take: follow the money. What America has learned from war is that it makes a lot of rich people richer, i.e., […]

American leaders connected to Epstein must be held accountable | Letter
Benjamin Franklin wrote: “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” In Europe, government ministers are losing their jobs because of the Epstein files … but American leaders get a free pass? As the father of two girls, and the grandfather to two more, I am […]

I find Bondi and Collins equally disgraceful | Letter
On Feb. 11, Attorney General Pam Bondi appeared before the House Oversight Committee to answer questions about the Epstein files. Her despicable and embarrassing performance can be summed up best in one line that she uttered in response to a question from Vermont Rep. Becca Balint: “I’m stunned that you want to continue talking about […]

Susan Collins’ support of health science complex won’t fool me | Letter
I find it rich that Sen. Susan Collins is dumping money into bricks and mortar for a “health science complex” in Orono. Who does she think will staff this nice building now that she has helped this administration gut science research funding, defund student science education funding and help anti-science Robert F. Kennedy Jr. get […]
