    Local opinion: The Mexican grey wolf is still endangered and needs your voice (or howl!)

    • Hollie Colahan and Norberto J. (Bert) Castro Special to the Arizona Daily Star

    Conservationists warn that new legislative efforts could undermine decades of work to restore the endangered Mexican grey wolf to the wild. Supporters say the species’ recovery remains fragile despite recent population growth in Arizona and New Mexico.

        Supporters say a proposed Paramount and Warner Bros. merger could boost Arizona’s growing film industry, bringing more movie productions, jobs and economic investment to Tucson and other filming hubs across the state.

        School strikes a blow against classrooms indoctrination | Chicago Tribune

          At a moment when many schools increasingly blur the line between education and activism, the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools is attempting something unfashionable: protecting classrooms as places of open inquiry rather than ideological instruction.

          A fix for gerrymandering both parties could love | Mary Ellen Klas

            America’s political landscape has become a stinking mess. More and more states are joining the race to the bottom to gerrymander away the power of their voters.

                Letter: Response to Tim Stellar's column

                • Steve Basile, Midtown

                Tim Steller’s recent column on the University of Arizona encampments crossed a significant line by casually advancing genocide accusations against Israel. He implies history is steadily validating one side’s moral claims on one of the world’s most disputed and emotionally charged conflicts.

                • Ron Lancaster, North side

                Are we not tired of Trump’s childish antics, his making up insulting names for his enemies, attacking female reporters with abusive disrespectful language, writing vile posts over the internet, stealing from the nation’s coffers without a shred of remorse, cheating his way through life, play…

                  If you want to be reassured about the integrity of Arizona elections, I urge you to attend any presentation given by Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly. I have heard her speak several times and always come away greatly impressed by her professionalism and integrity.

                    During his heated opening remarks Tuesday, Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen tore into acting Attorney General Todd Blanche at the budget hearing for the Justice Department, accusing him of weaponizing the department to singularly help President Donald Trump.

                            Reading the reports of huge new warehouses being bought for renovation for “millions” of illegal immigrants, I set out to discover how many have actually been deported since January 2025. Not millions: by the DHS’s own figures, there may have been 605,000 deported in 2025—but that may includ…

                              Cruelty has a new champion. Donald Trump has proven worthy of the title. He looks under every stone to find ways to create trouble and suffering for the least of us. He is making his mark on the world with his hateful grimace and hard heart.

                              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.

                              Arizona Daily Star Editorial: New tactic to come after public lands must be stopped

                              Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.

                              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.
