Rep. Jared Golden just announced that he will vote in favor of the article of impeachment put forth against President Donald Trump. We wholeheartedly commend his stand on this pressing issue. Although the president has long demonstrated his unfitness for the office, his recent behavior — notably his incitement of the dangerous and outrageous assault […]

I urge Sen. Collins to utilize her standing in the Senate to work with Sen. Mitch McConnell and her Republican colleagues to move forward immediately with a Senate trial following impeachment proceedings. I am reading the constitutional research of J. Michael Luttig (who advised Vice President Pence on his constitutionally-defined role recently in the electoral […]

The response to the insurrection of Jan. 6 featured many Republican U.S. senators and representatives playing the part of the British loyalists in protecting King Trump. Like during the American Revolution, they are working to protect the sovereign. King Trump can do no wrong; not even inciting an insurrection to overthrow the duly-elected government could […]

In a Jan. 7 Sun Journal article, Matt Leonard seems to imply that election officials are responsible for our electorally-divided population. He said “… our election officials should be terrified because then they won’t have an ability to continue to divide us.” If he is saying that the 2020 presidential election was determined by illegal […]

What is or was the attraction to Trump, who may be mentally ill? Is he above the law? The 13 senators who still support his presidency are afraid to lose their states, states which should be disgraced by them. Amazing how he can threaten the secretary of state of Georgia and get away with it, […]

Given that this president has been afforded untethered silence regarding his activities and transgressions over the last four years, I am not surprised that the lack of backbone from our representatives is so rampant. There has been a mention of not enough time to impeach him. Really? To me this is a no brainer. There […]

The terrorist invasion of our Capitol on Jan. 6 is the predictable outcome of this president’s treacherous and unstable behavior throughout his presidency. I support any legal means by which he and his collaborators can be removed before he does further damage. That he has not been removed already astounds me. He has been consistently […]

Here’s hoping that the Sunday River Brewing Co. is ultimately granted the licenses that it needs to reopen, for the sake of its approximately 60 employees and their families. And that the business then strictly adheres to the same stringent safety protocols that all other area restaurants have been following, most without incident. Countries worldwide […]

We owe a debt of gratitude to the millions of Black people and the young people of our country for standing in line for hours to vote in the 2020 election. They love our country, and were willing to endure cold, heat, harassment to have their voices heard. They are the ones who turned the […]

I hope people will share their thoughts, and encourage friends and family to send emails to their representatives, recommending that Washington Republicans be punished for backing a man who has made it obvious that the reason he has often admired so many of the world’s dictators is that he wishes to be America’s dictator, and […]
