The Trump administration continues to thrive on conflict. I’ve seen the results right here in Maine.

Maine lawmakers need to provide a predictable, ongoing funding stream that our shelters can count on.

Will we insist on law and accountability now, or accept a world in which power alone decides who is beyond judgment?

We forget that we can agree with some or all of an opponent’s premises without sharing their conclusion.

We can’t think about voting as cheering for one team or another; we have to insist on the protection of our lives and our families’ futures.

Our time-honored steadiness and our tradition of mutual respect have suddenly become very valuable.

While it’s being disregarded at the highest levels, courts and lawyers in Maine, Massachusetts and elsewhere are focused on upholding the principle.

A government that tells us it is always right is a tyrannical government.
