    An ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñAV opinion writer argues that libraries, malls, recreation centers and other indoor gathering places should be viewed as part of the state's public health infrastructure, saying accessible, air-conditioned spaces can help reduce loneliness and strengthen communities.

        • Richard Fridena, West side

        As near as I can tell, at least 29 or 7% of the World’s 193 countries are directly involved in the 2026 Iranian war while the rest of us suffer disruption of the economic system.

        New Jersey just discovered that 6,600 illegal aliens were registered to vote and 400 actually did. But obviously, there is no voter fraud. If this can happen in New Jersey, is it happening in other states. How can you be sure it is not happening? It could not happen in New Jersey but it did.…

        For months, readers have seen the desperation of a daughter for a missing mother, likely the victim of a failed kidnapping attempt. Nancy Guthrie, based on reports, was kidnapped by criminals unknown. The question the citizens in Tucson should be asking is what failed in the protection of th…

                    Todays LTEs, July 23, were a new record for the STAR. 100% vitriolic, hate filled rants condemning the present Administration on a wide variety of actions.

                      Local opinion: A subscriber’s hope for the ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñAV

                      I read with genuine interest the ÃÛÌÒÓ°ÏñAV’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.

                      Juan Ciscomani has a pivotal role to play in protecting public lands. It's a role that he must fulfill.

                      US, foreign guests forged connections during World Cup | Virginian-Pilot

                      Spain’s 1-0 victory over Argentina in the World Cup final wasn’t the most entertaining match but still served as the culmination of a monthlong celebration that spanned the North American continent. From Vancouver to Miami, Los Angeles to Mexico City, the three host nations collaborated to produce an experience that was as thrilling on the field as it was entertaining off it.

                      The ICE crackdowns took an economic toll, too | Chicago Tribune

                      When the White House sent thousands of armed immigration agents into Minneapolis earlier this year, it followed a playbook pioneered in Chicago. Now both cities are adding up the cost from those Department of Homeland Security surges and struggling to put the damage behind them.
