As a psychotherapist treating child sexual abuse survivors, I am concerned about the impact on survivors of an attack ad Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has directed at his opponent, Dr. Amy Acton. I am also concerned about the ad's contribution to the coarsening of public disco…

I'm curious. What are the American Oil Companies doing, other than raking in huge profits, to our country for the increase in costs caused by fuel shortages? Are they helping (other than themselves) or passively "enjoying the ride"? The Federal government (effectively Trump) are getting way …

How low does the Republican Party have to go, to slander Democratic Candidate JoAnna Mendoza? They are beyond shameful, and obviously scared of JoAnna. Andy Biggs is a has been, always on the side of Republican filth ads. I am a senior citizen and proud member of Tucson’s LGBT community. I a…

A recent political commercial, that appeared to be in support of a Democrat candidate, made a point of denigrating MAGA. It is hard to understand why. ‘Make American Great Again’ seems like a goal that every citizen should want and yet this dream is being used as a derogatory slur. Then agai…
