      Only a week has passed. But the lesson the election last week should have taught has been ignored.

      Letter: A POUND OF FLESH

      • Loyal M Johnson Jr, Oro Valley

      The Democrats won the 2026 election resoundingly by promising to address affordability although they failed to define exactly what affordability entailed and avoided committing to any plans or goals of how to achieve affordability. The was substantial talk but absolutely no hard plans, just …

      With Cybertruck ending, pull the plug on the EV culture war | Aaron Brown

        I saw my first picture of a Tesla Cybertruck at the big wooden table of our family’s northern Minnesota hunting shack. Except for myself, a soft-handed writer with a minivan, this was a gathering of men who drove pickup trucks their whole lives.

                      When Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., takes over as Senate majority leader, he should move to restore the filibuster back to where it was before the power of the minority to slow down the chamber was eroded by former Majority Leaders Harry Reid (a Democrat) and Mitch McConnell (a Republican).

                      The affordability crisis isn’t about inflation | Allison Schrager

                        The big message from the midterms is that Americans are struggling with the cost of living. In case anyone missed it, they need relief now. This will put even more attention on the Federal Reserve: Will Chair Kevin Warsh do all he can to bring down inflation or placate the White House, which…

                        Democrats should steer to the center if they want to keep power | Dallas Morning News

                          The midterm elections marked a huge win for Texas Democrats, but it wasn’t an ardent endorsement of their policies and candidates. Voters were fed up with a deeply unpopular and antagonistic president, and they took it out on elected leaders who had become his Texas puppets.

                          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.
