Republicans were triumphant, one even calling the win biblical. Read

Our editorial staff penned this piece today, “Keep raising the rafters on the ideals of American democracy.” While the nation is fractured and divided, here on our Island, there is a great spirit of unity and community that can help guide us in the coming days, months and years. And we can lean on one another as we go forward. Read more

Quote of the Day
|
“There is perhaps some solace to find here on the Island, a sense that while we are part of a divided America, we are a community united on the local level. This is not to suggest that the Island is a place to hide from all the world’s troubles. We have to stay engaged and alert, and keep advocating for what we believe in, while also remaining curious and listening to other ideas, and we can do that by relying on the unique spirit of the Island and drawing strength from the unity we share.”
