          There are many warnings about AI. Some forecast “the end of the world.” Our young are addicted to screens losing social connections, cognitive skills and health.

            Donald Trump promised a new "Golden Age" for all Americans. Yes, the Golden Age is here - for Trump, his family and his billionaire cronies. The rest of us, not so much. The gaudy, tacky gold embellishments of the White House are symbolic of this phony, bogus Golden Age. People across Americ…

                Letter: Tucson needs a municipal bank

                  San Francisco and Los Angeles may soon have a municipal bank. Philadelphia has had its own bank since 2022. North Dakota has had a state bank since 1919. Current Arizona law bans such municipal banks, but a Democratic legislature can undo that prohibition. With interests rates high, the adva…

                  Letter: Medicare For All vs Medicare At 50

                  Letter: Medicare For All vs Medicare At 50

                    Enrolling in Medicare For All (M4A) instead of private investor-owned health insurance is like buying wholesale vs retail. M4A eliminates the profit and multilayers of costly administrative bureaucracies of private health insurance.

                      I attended the Tucson Veterans Day Parade which featured a military flyover, i was in awe by watching those F-16's fighter jets fly by!

                      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.
