Susan Collins has it right: Censure Donald Trump, forgo an impeachment trial and move ahead. It’s clear that a trial will not result in a conviction. It’s also clear that it will change few minds. Former President Trump will be able to boast that he was acquitted, that the whole endeavor was simply another witch […]

Re:”Nearly all GOP senators vote against impeachment trial” (Jan. 27, Page A2): A cynic and pessimist would read this Associated Press article, regarding the Senate procedural vote of Jan. 26, and think that the Republican senators’ objection to impeachment as being unconstitutional demonstrate continued spineless behavior and fear of retaliation from a twice-impeached former president […]

Sen. Susan Collins should not be trying to replace a Senate impeachment trial with censure. Donald Trump is an American citizen and was the American president, who took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

Here is something I agree with former President Donald Trump about: We need to do something about Section 230. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 is a federal statute that provides immunity for social media websites that publish libelous material.

Everybody knows that Maine has the oldest demographic. Being over age […]

I thank the Press Herald editorial board for “Our View: Lack of child care holding back children, parents – and Maine’s economy” (Jan. 29). I worry about child care being too expensive. I worry that if I relocate, I won’t be able to find child care for my 1-year-old. My partner and I both work […]

Martin Jones’ letter (Jan. 24) states that the disparities between racial groups in our medical, political, economic and educational systems are caused by minorities themselves. He refers to the work of three very conservative African American writers who, once again, are placing the blame for the extreme disparities between the races in our country on […]

I write this letter to call for the resignation of Hancock County Sheriff Scott Kane. It recently came to light that Sheriff Kane cut ties with the Ellsworth-based non-profit Healthy Acadia over a personal objection to the non-profit’s support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Healthy Acadia had been providing services to inmates in Hancock […]
