      In one of the sunniest cities in the country, we have an opportunity to show what it looks like to turn our abundant clean energy resources into tangible benefits for the people who live here.

      Why chaos on Election Day is highly unlikely | Justin Levitt

        Americans are understandably freaked out about the possibility of disruption in the elections next month. I get the concern.

        AI is changing motherhood for the worse | Abby McCloskey

          Recent books and studies have begun to highlight the risks that artificial intelligence poses to children. This is a good thing. Maybe we’re collectively realizing that we shouldn’t wait a decade after a new technology emerges — as we did with social media — before sounding the alarm.

          Pete Hegseth’s unserious address again shows his unfitness for office | Virginian-Pilot

            Nearly two years into his role as secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth has yet to leave his old job as a Fox News host behind. His recent “State of the Force” address at the Quantico military base in Virginia demonstrated again that he’s more interested in fighting a culture war and delivering…

              Parents dismayed by the sorry state of penmanship, take heart: A decade and a half after most states stopped requiring cursive in public schools, instruction is making a comeback.

                Letter: The price of diesel

                • Eugene Corral, North side

                What a coincidence that we have a deal with Putin to supply cheaper diesel. Which will help the farmers and truckers; strong Trump voters. Then all of a sudden Trump is calling for a new president in Ukraine. All happening right before the midterms. Makes one wonder?

                We, the United States, put sanctions on Russia because of their unprovoked attack on Ukraine. We put sanctions on Iran because of their supposed attempt to develop a nuclear weapon and their closing of the Strait of Hormuz. Russia has helped Iran with intelligence to target our troops and ba…

                    Amazing how the Arizona Daily Star was somehow able to publish a print edition the day after the Great Sonoran Earthquake in 1887, but not on Columbus Day/ Indigenous People's Day in 2026!

                              Manufactured housing, colloquially known as the “mobile home,” has a reputation for low quality. But that stereotype is outdated.

                              The Arizona Daily Star’s opinion section aims to foster healthy engagement and debate on the best paths forward for Tucson. Here’s how you can be a part of it.

                              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.
