    There is no secret deal, no special discount, and no “blended” rate that shifts costs onto others. Under Arizona law, utilities cannot invent rates on the side or quietly move customers onto unapproved pricing.

    We encourage those who believe Trump is leading our nation in the wrong direction to join one of several peaceful No Kings 3 protests Saturday in Tucson.

      Arizona farmers and ranchers face enough challenges already. They want to focus on feeding the country, not filling out needless paperwork. Please pass the Protect USA Act.

      Supporters argue this is about restoring trust in elections. But trust isn’t built by adding complexity alone, it’s built by aligning solutions with actual problems.

      Data centers do not belong in deserts, and untimely standards the AI class can manipulate at the expense of regular people will never be enough.

        • Camille Gannon, West side

        A pediatrician: undergraduate 4-year college degree, four years of medical school, three years of pediatric residency, and can spend two to six years subspecializing. That’s 11-15 years of pediatric preparation.

          Overwhelming majority of Muslims seek peace | Salam Al-Marayati

            It is not easy to be an American Muslim today. With the U.S. engaged in another conflict with a Muslim-majority country, rhetoric from some of our highest officials continues to vilify Islam and cast suspicion on Muslims as disloyal or dangerous.

                Russia and China are losers in US war on Iran | Peter Doran

                  The United States and Israel are devastating the parasitic Islamic regime that squandered the wealth of Iran for decades and exported terror across the Middle East. Understanding the biggest losers in this war is just as important as any assessment of the battle damage to government buildings in Tehran.

                          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.
