Usually I email Sen. Susan Collins and ask her to resign, which I’m sure she’d do if she ever read those emails. But today, in this letter, I want to publicly thank Sen. Collins. I want to thank her for being right about Donald J. Trump. He has learned his lesson, as she hoped. He […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins’ leadership, experience needed in Washington
Do you know what has changed? Politics. Do you know what hasn’t changed? Susan Collins. It’s a universal truth that politics is a mess right now. However, Maine is fortunate to have Sen.

As COVID-19 cases and deaths skyrocket in America, hospitals are overwhelmed and the economy has collapsed, President Trump has retreated even further into denial, blaming everyone but himself for the fix we are in.
