        • Suzanne Ferguson, East side

        So ... now we discover that our arrogant Commander-in-Chief and his incompetent, unqualified "Secretary of War" have in the past 5+ months expended nearly 80% of our missiles on a war of their choice at a time of their choice, missiles that cannot be restocked until at least 2029, a war that…

        Texas' anti-NIMBY housing law is getting results | Dallas Morning News

          When the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 840, the goal was to boost the state's housing stock in major cities. The law allows developers to build multifamily and mixed-use projects in districts zoned for commercial use without having to request a zoning change.

          Don't cut off Social Security benefits to the wealthy | Peter Jensen

            I landed my first real, albeit minimum wage job at the tender age of 15, and one of my lasting memories was how the paycheck came with a boatload of deductions.

            No one who works full time should be on Medicaid | Kathryn Anne Edwards

              A lot of jobs in the U.S. economy pay miserably low wages. And a lot  of them offer a reasonable hourly rate but still result in miserably low earnings because of unstable, fluctuating schedules.

              Pollsters blew it in the lead-up to Michigan's hot primary

                Emerson College released a poll of likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan about a week before the vote. It had progressive firebrand Abdul El-Sayed leading U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens by 15 percentage points in the race for U.S. Senate.

                              Our education system is a complete failure. It starts in grammar school through the universities. All one has to do is look at the results, kids can't read, do basic math, have no knowledge of our government. They exit college majoring in something irrelevant that has no merit to their prosp…

                              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.
