There are a lot of things I don’t know. I don’t know why Donald Trump is unbothered by the fact that Russia provides Iran with satellite intelligence that allows Iran to target U.S. assets in the Middle East, like the recent destruction of a plane on the ground at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi […]

Susan Collins has not earned the right to continue representing Maine | Letter
President Trump’s Easter obscenity-laced rant and threat to “bomb the hell” out of Iran’s civilian power grid, since we are not at a declared war with Iran, most certainly gestures at a terrorist act and a crime against humanity. This tantrum, coming from any adult, would be unacceptable. For it to come from the mouth […]

I’m homeless, not hopeless | Letter
My partner Adam and I have, throughout our nearly two years together, faced incredible adversity. We’re homeless. Situations where some people may have, given up or succumbed to depression and become destitute. However, through our love for each other and our companionship, a healthy level of individual self-respect, our spirituality and the occasional kindness of others, we […]

Does this presidency have a tipping point? | Letter
Maine voters cast 378,000 ballots for President Trump in 2024. What’s it costing us? The Iran war, so far, is estimated at $30 billion (Maine’s share would be a few billion), mostly for stuff we blow up. Trump promised to be president of peace, to end the Russia/Ukraine war, and now he wants to bomb a […]

If Trump wants us to pay for war, he should ask us | Letter
We are now entering the second month of Donald Trump’s fraught war of choice and we still have no better idea why we have entered it than when we started. In his meandering speech to the American public April 1, he ping-ponged through a menu of contradictory goals, from “we have already won” to “we […]

Let’s keep hope alive in Maine | Letter
In the face of our current administration’s daily chaotic, abusive, immoral and inhumane declarations, it is only human to defend oneself by retreating into a kind of numbness. This response is, in fact, a survival instinct — essential to our ability to keep on going. Yet even in this state, I believe we can still […]

Ben Midgley is the outsider Maine needs | Letter
Maine politics is full of big promises and louder rhetoric, but young Mainers are looking for something simpler: a government that works, leaders who are honest and a state where we can afford to build a life. My generation is starting careers, paying off loans and struggling to keep up with rising costs — all […]

What does the gas price spike mean to you? | Letter
A quick online search shows that gasoline purchases in the United States average about 377 million gallons a day. If the average increase in the cost of gas is about $1 per gallon, it means that consumers are paying an additional $377,000,000 a day, or some $2.6 billion a week. I know what it means […]
