                              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.

                              Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the Arizona Daily Star

                              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.

                              Teachers are doing their best to guide student use of artificial intelligence, but it’s clear that some boundaries are desperately needed.

                              Most Americans are ill-equipped to understand the dizzying array of financial products they encounter. Many struggle to contend with payday lenders, credit reports or novel payment apps. A growing share is falling behind on their debt. Meanwhile, a record $16 billion was lost to fraud last year.
