          • Dr. JB Marshall, Oro Valley

          Are you as concerned about the skyrocketing costs of gas, groceries and basic goods as I am? Terrified you too will lose your health insurance in January? Disgusted by ICE arrests, killings, and deportations of US citizens to foreign countries?

          • Jon Langione, Marana

          President Trump touted to be, according to him, by far, the most superior president this country has ever had the opportunity to experience. As to the constitution he knows that document is quelmafider. His understanding and management of the economy continues to be duilagibish. The Iran war…

          Since WWII, the USA has faced severe challenges from the Soviet Union and China, but we have all been solidly united in embracing our democratic principles founded on our strength as a nation. Let’s put all our political disagreements aside, which are actually healthy, and focus on the real …

          • Philip Reinecker, East side

          Just when you believe that Trump cannot sink any lower he crouches down and digs deeper. During a conference Trump said, "I looked at a beautiful ass before as Nicki Minaj" If you or I had said such a thing in a work place we would be fired immediately, and justifiably so. But of course Trum…

              Dear fellow Republicans, where do you stand? We all embrace the principles of liberty, justice, and freedom for all citizens.

                      Most Americans are ill-equipped to understand the dizzying array of financial products they encounter.

                        Democrats have a path to the Senate majority, but it runs through a difficult map. They must defend competitive seats and win several Republican-held states. Their choices in Maine and Michigan have complicated that effort, while New Hampshire, once viewed as a safe Democratic hold, is now a…

                        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.
