At last, something for Mainers to unite around: the Red Sox | Steve Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After months of sniping at one another over politics, Mainers finally have something to agree on: rooting for the Red Sox. This week’s playoff showdown between the New York Yankees and “the home team” of most Mainers, as former Gov. Joseph Brennan wrote in an official proclamation in 1979, offers a rare chance to put aside our differences and focus on what’s most important in the next few days: beating the Yankees. No doubt the politicians will keep on yammering, but most sports fans in Maine wi
Susan Collins’ vote for abortion foe does not add up | Steve Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The U.S. Senate this week gave a thumbs up to yet another anti-abortion, election-denying acolyte of President Trump’s. Matthew Byrne will serve as a federal judge in Ohio. Unfortunately, votes like this have become routine. Our supine Senate long ago decided that it would rather give Trump whatever he wants than confront the hardship of defending democracy. Maine’s Susan Collins likes to portray herself as something better: an independent-minded Republican who puts Maine first and hauls home bo
A desperate Bobby Charles casts around for clout | Steve Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With his campaign flailing, Republican gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles is reaching for help from, among others, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

The two reportedly haven’t talked since Christie told the president to concede the 2020 election. Christie went on to enter the 2024 presidential race as a critic of his former ally

Read excerpt
Although it often feels like it just happened, 25 years have passed since the awful day that, for my generation, separated “before” from “after.” On that gorgeous morning, with a very blue sky overhead, I stood yanking weeds outside my Connecticut home after walking my son to school. A neighbor popped her head out across the street and yelled, “A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center.” With an ache in my heart, I went inside and flipped on the television just in time to see the previous
On 9/11, remember a news reporter from Maine | Steve Collins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, a 38-year-old Navy commander, Robert Allan Schlegel, sat at his desk at the Pentagon figuring out where and when the nation’s ships should sail. Having served at sea on many occasions, including a stint as the executive officer for the destroyer USS Radford, he knew the hardships that military life can entail. But Schlegel was good at the job and probably never doubted the wisdom of choosing the military after working as a journalist for what used to be the Lewi
