          Pennsylvanians were well acquainted with John Fetterman’s idiosyncrasies by the time he was elected to the U.S. Senate four years ago. No one had a right, for example, to expect him to report for Capitol Hill duty with a clean shave and a pressed suit.

            • Kathryn Pensinger, Foothills

            I am a Democrat, and I am quite tired of being called a communist by the Republicans. I assume that they have adopted this term in order to strike fear into the hearts of those who might chose to vote for a Democrat, since communism carries a connotation of anti-Americanism. But, communism a…

For Secretary of State, they chose Alex Kolodin, a Trump loyalist who tried to over…

                      Americans are free to be suckers | Froma Harrop

                        Many of today's consumer loans are legal but abusive. Payday lenders and used car sellers often steer customers into costly contracts they barely understand. Low-income borrowers with jobs and, therefore, dependable cash flow to siphon off, are favored targets.

                          Democratic socialism has been winning in Democratic primaries lately, but it will ultimately lose — because it fails politically and economically.

                            The war in Iran is nearing the five-month mark, and during that time at least 17 U.S. service members have been killed and more than 400 injured.

                            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.
