      It sounds like the culmination of Donald Trump’s lifelong dream, and a nightmare for all but the most ardent MAGA enthusiasts: Trump TV.

      As a 100 percent Trumper, our CD6 congressman’s record on the economy, health, ICE, the environment, borderland desecration, and the war in Iran is indefensible. He is adept at deflecting issues. So how does he win? With his many “JUAN Ciscomani” billboards, and the recent posting of signs t…

      I’m sharing our experience and alerting people to a new option offered in Pima County. During the primary election, I mailed my ballot, while my husband took his to a voting center.

      Tucson LTEers beg Democrats to vote to stop the dictator and save the country. I obviously will but not for most Democrats. I want to keep the modest amount of money I have earned to either spend as I see fit or leave it to my children. I want law enforcement available if I need them. I want…

          Letter: Prop 320 is the wrong approach

            Proposition 320 is presented as a way to improve public education, but its approach would undermine the very schools and students it claims to support.

                    Shortly after President Donald Trump imposed new tariffs on a slew of Canadian imports, aiming to cripple its economy unless it bends to his will, Canada took more careful aim when returning fire this month.

                      When President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese leader Xi Jinping to the White House Sept. 24, the stagecraft was unmistakable: a state dinner, smiles for the cameras and carefully scripted statements of goodwill.

                      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.
