Opinion

Local opinion: Fortress America, America First

Local opinion: Fortress America, America First

  • Gerald Farrington Special to the Arizona Daily Star

      Tucker Carlson's reversal on Trump is a familiar script | LZ Granderson

        Tucker Carlson last week apologized for unintentionally "misleading" voters into supporting President Donald Trump's return to the White House.

                Local opinion: The battery revolution that could make Tucson America's clean energy capital

                  The question isn't whether Tucson can lead America's clean energy future. The question is whether we have the vision to recognize the moment we're in.

                      Local opinion: A dismissive editorial peers through rose-colored glasses

                      The Herald has missed its mark in offering us reassurance of the court’s stability and the strength of democracy. And when it values confidence over honest scrutiny, its words ring hollow.
