Fall is here, and for many Arizona students, that means FAFSA season.

Republicans have put forth and embraced claims of election fraud, and they have embedded falsehoods into this fall’s election campaign.

To paraphrase Nikole Hannah-Jones: I may always wonder whether we made the right decision, I know we made the just one.

New policies from Washington, D.C., would dramatically reduce the size of wildlands and threaten wildlife’s ability to survive.

I have lived through Eisenhower, Carter, Reagan, GHW Bush, Obama, and Biden. In my lifetime I have never seen or heard of a President being scrutinized over every word he speaks. I have never heard of their wives or children threatened, insulted, and humliiated. I am truly ashamed of the beh…

I appreciate Robert Laux-Brachand’s insightful LTE. Juan Ciscomani’s silence on whether his father fraudulently obtained a religious worker visa is deafening. Should ICE be knocking at his door? Juan should speak up and address this. And that’s just one of many issues where his silence speak…

Providing assistance of water/food ect. for people crossing the border illegally, is a form of luring the persons to expose themselves to encounters with the ICE enforcer. With the situation as it is in this time frame the investment would better used to offer legal entry assistance. I belie…

The desperation of Juan Ciscoimani’s reelection campaign is increasingly evident. Currently, bright yellow signs with absurd lies about Ms. Mendoza are appearing beside signs for Joanna Mendoza for Congress. Intended to mislead voters, such “dirty tricks” are the same practice used by the in…

Arizona should make voting easier, not harder. In 2024, 78.49% of registered Arizonans cast ballots. In the 2022 midterms, just 62.56% did. That is more than 1.5 million registered voters who stayed home. Our goal should be 85% to 90% turnout, including in midterms.

The United States currently has 4,000 to 5,400 operational data centers with Virginia, Texas, and California leading the way, and more to come. For you who oppose these installations and halt all construction of additional ones, please consider the ramifications. First of all, there is no su…

I am outraged that "in observance" of national holidays, the Az Daily Star will NOT provide the printed editions of the paper that subscribers have paid for! This adds up to THIRTEEN papers over the year that we WILL NOT be receiving, and I will not be accessing online. I choose print editio…
JTED met me where I was and opened doors I never knew existed.
As Election Day approaches, the residents of Arizona’s Sixth Congressional District have a choice to make.
These are the best of times for Americans — at least economically and on paper (in the metaphorical sense of course, since no one uses paper anymore). We’ve never been richer or more prosperous as a nation. Living standards and life expectancy are at all-time highs. Yet it feels like the economy is broken.
Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Michigan, has a simple pitch to voters. Imagine, he says, a health-insurance plan with “no premium, no copay, no deductible — just healthcare when you need it.” El-Sayed and other proponents call the idea Medicare for All.
To our readers:
The Arizona Daily Star’s opinion section aims to foster healthy engagement and debate on the best paths forward for Tucson. Here’s how you can be a part of it.
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.
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.

What if we got it all wrong? That’s the question that usually goes through my mind at this point in every election cycle. Because 25 years of experience in analyzing elections has made me more humble than cocky.
