      • Cindy Doklan, Midtown

      If Karl Marx put on a red MAGA hat and promised a tax cut, MAGAs would vote for him. Biggs is playing a shell game with voters, proposing to cut one tax and increase another. It’s going to bite him. 30 years of Republican majority in AZ legislature proves they can't manage 5th grade math.

          Is lettuce safe? Probably. Will outbreak spur change? Hopefully | Lisa Jarvis

            For the last month, Americans have viewed their lunchtime salads or even a single, crisp leaf of iceberg on their burger as a possible threat. Could it harbor cyclospora, the explosive-diarrhea-causing parasite that by early August had sickened thousands, hospitalized hundreds, and led to two deaths?

            In the face of Iranian ‘demands,’ tighten the squeeze | Las Vegas Review-Journal

              President Donald Trump’s chief negotiating strategy consists of keeping the other party guessing about what he might do next. As this pertains to Iran, the president has repeatedly threatened Tehran with additional military action only to back off once new “peace talks” are on the table.

                  Evidence over politics when it comes to childhood vaccines | Baltimore Sun

                    Parents deserve clarity when making decisions about childhood vaccines. They should not have to choose between political pronouncements and public health institutions whose credibility has been tested in recent years.

                        I read with genuine interest the Arizona Daily Star’s recent story about David Hoffmann’s investment in Lee Enterprises and his vision for local newspapers.

                        Local opinion: What leaders like John McCain understood about the truth

                        A defining moment from John McCain’s 2008 campaign is being revisited as a reminder of political integrity, highlighting the importance of correcting misinformation — even within one’s own party — in today’s polarized climate.

                        Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.
