    Is Iran really a threat?

    Local opinion: Latino voters and entrepreneurs are reshaping Arizona’s political and economic future

    • Tomás León Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Younger Latino voters in Arizona are especially skeptical of rigid party labels.  They are solutions-oriented and focused on results, not rhetoric.

      • Adrian Keller Special to the Arizona Daily Star

      Customers have every right to ask: if an independent expert analysis says we can keep reliability while charging significantly less, why are families being asked to shoulder such a steep increase?

      Local opinion: Tucson should remember the lessons of Vietnam and Iran

        • Chris Norman Special to the Arizona Daily Star

        The evidence shows that TEP’s rates are relatively low and stable, and we’re working hard every day to keep them that way.

            Trump’s war of choice is costing us $11.3 billion in just the first week.

            Letter: Evidence

            • Terry Louck, East side

            There has been more evidence of Donald Trump being a pedophile revealed in the past year than there is evidence of Iran having nuclear weapons capability in the past 30 years.

            Letter: TEP Investors Have It Both Ways!

            Letter: TEP Investors Have It Both Ways!

              TEP is a for-profit monopoly (guaranteed no competition). In return for this very low risk investment with guaranteed customers, TEP's investors should receive a low return on equity (profit) closer to the interest paid on Federal Bonds (about 4%). That's how the market is supposed to work.

                  Letter: Oppose SB 1068 which would force campuses to allow guns

                    I want to urge Arizona lawmakers to oppose SB 1068, a bill that would force Arizona colleges and universities to allow anyone with a concealed carry permit to have a gun on campus. I have been part of the University of Arizona community as a student and educator, and I was a doctoral student…

                          Arizona Daily Star editorial: Julia Benitez, 'la abuela,' must be released

                          Arizona Daily Star border reporter Emily Bregel reported last Sunday that our government is in the business of jailing confused grandmothers with no criminal history.

                          🎧 The hosts examine how personalized feeds amplify conflict, bury progress and leave citizens exhausted and polarized, reinforcing a distorted picture of society that feels broken and perpetually on edge.

                          Not to pile on, but while we’re tallying transgressions against ex-U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was fired by President Donald Trump recently, we should not forget the often-overlooked death of another American citizen who was killed by an ICE agent under her watch.
