Letter to the editor: Trump loss might be worse than Trump victory
In his July 25 commentary, Neil Wollman convincingly presented an extensive list of consequences of a potential second Trump term. Possibly more frightening would be the alternative. Granted, Donald Trump’s former “fixer,” Michael Cohen, cannot be considered a fountain of truth, but he did know his boss. The caution Cohen gave in his February congressional […]

Letter to the editor: Expand bus service before creating Portland-Westbrook rail link

Letter to the editor: Pass carbon dividend bill to rein in ‘extreme heat’
Thank you for reporting on the likelihood of more “extreme heat” days in Maine’s future (July 16). This is increasingly on everybody’s minds, regardless of political views. If you’re like my family, you do what you can on a personal level – for example, we took no flights of any kind for eight years, because […]

Letter to the editor: Border officials’ obstinacy costs young citizen his freedom
Recently 18-year-old Francisco Erwin Galicia, a U.S. citizen, was detained in atrocious conditions for 23 days by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This was after he produced a Texas state ID, a Social Security card and a wallet-sized birth certificate showing he was an American citizen. ICE and Customs […]
