          New America, but not just for one state, for all fifty. We don’t have to change our maps. Let’s change the whole country.

          Letter: Brian Jeffries

          • Thomas Quebedeaux, East side

          Great article in Friday’s Star on Brian Jeffries. Unless I am mistaken, the Pittsburgh Pirates tried to hire him away from us many years ago. So glad he stayed. He should be in the University of Arizona Sports Hall of Fame.

          Letter: Gubernatorial race

          Letter: Gubernatorial race

          • Dave Bertagnoli, West side

          Candidate Biggs wants to kill the Arizona income tax and jack up the sales tax, thereby shifting the tax burden from the rich to the not-so-rich. He is selling it as the trickle down theory. Which didn't work in Kansas. didn't work for Reagan, didn't work for "W", and most emphatically hasn'…

          Letter: Trump is demented

          • Craig Miller, Northwest side

          It's increasingly evident that Trump is demented. In last few days he stated that people don't know that dumb is spelled with a d, he believes most people think it's spelled dum. Then he said hundreds of governors were calling him up. Most children in 2nd grade can spell dumb and know there'…

          Letter: Trump does as he wishes

          • Jerry Wilkerson, SaddleBrooke

          Americans, including Republicans and MAGAdites, are asking, “Why is Trump doing this to us?” It’s because he’s getting away with doing as he pleases. Trump truly does not care about us. He sees the USA and Americans as a source of plunder for money, riches, and fortune. Remember, it’s all ab…

            Venezuela oil deal may be a win, but it shouldn’t set a precedent | Baltimore Sun

              Eight months ago, American aircraft launched from 20 bases as a special operations team entered Caracas and removed Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro from a fortified compound. Dozens of Venezuelan and Cuban personnel were killed. Congress never authorized the operation.

                Retailers right to cut prices to share tariff refunds | Chicago Tribune

                  Following the Supreme Court’s decision early this year that President Donald Trump’s tariff regime was unconstitutional, many corporations have seen substantial windfalls in the form of federal refunds for the tariffs they paid.

                  Of course Flock cameras are being attacked. Congress has failed to regulate them | Catherine Crump

                    Vigilantes are disabling Flock cameras in at least three dozen states, and while I don’t condone property damage, I understand the outrage.

                    Letter: Who does Juan Ciscomani work for?

                      Representative Juan Ciscomani’s re-election ads say he works for Pima County. His record says otherwise.

                        The official White House website, funded with our tax money, has added five kids arcade type video games. I played an interesting one called “Rio Run,” in which I controlled a figure that looks like Trump. On the screen are little brown men trying to cross the Rio Grande. The Trump figure ch…

                        Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the Arizona Daily Star

                        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.

                        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.
