Can you not afford food or a place to live or not see a doctor or received adequate medical care. Do you have an auto and drive it anywhere you wish? How is your…

The photography was excellent. This type of journalism will help to bring understanding and support to our gay co…

          Where to start? Trump said that the American Airlines Center (capacity 21,000) was packed with thousands waiting outside and it was new attendance record! Independent sources, backed by photos, show it was about 60%-70% full, with large balcony areas empty. This was after organizers offered …

          Letter: It's Personal Democrats!

            I’m a democrat. I’m not dumb. I love my country. I’m not scum or vermin. I worked for 47 years raising five kids who are productive members of society. I paid taxes and donated to charities. I’m not lazy or sick, nor am I a communist.

              America's $40 trillion debt exposes a conservative failure | Cameron Smith

                The eye-glazing milestone arrived without fanfare or protest in Washington’s political theater: U.S. debt officially crested to $40 trillion. To average Americans struggling with grocery bills and higher interest rates, a figure with 12 zeros sounds like a problem for future generations. But fiscal gravity is already pulling down our economy.

                Fix Medicare to finally balance America's budget | Ross Marchand

                  The national debt just surpassed $40 trillion, and Medicare — a taxpayer-funded federal health insurance program primarily for seniors — is a big part of the problem.

                    Letter: Las Vegas Prepared for Dead Pool. Arizona Prepared for More Growth.

                      Arizona officials love reminding us we prepared for the Colorado River crisis — banking water, building conservation programs, negotiating shortage deals. But look at Las Vegas.

                      Letter: Loyal M Johnson, Jr.

                        After reading Mr. Johnson’s LTE this morning I’d like to add my name and letter to the many you’ll be getting. Mr. Johnson, of course, is certainly entitled to his take on trump, no question there, it’s just so upsetting to this reader to see his thoughts, alas.

                        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.
