Now is when your voice is needed the most. Now is when we need to reaffirm the mandate on public land protections and honor tribal sovereignty.
The current attacks on the U.S. system of scientific research will have real and debilitating consequences for our nation and its international position that will not be easily turned around if they are allowed to continue.
Thanks for supporting public lands
We deserve leaders who protect access to healthcare, not jeopardize it. In November 2026, voters in District 6 should remember who showed up for their health and who voted to take it away.
The concept of "water positive" is an oxymoron. It's especially important for that to be understood here in the desert. It's not possible for Project Blue or anyone else to create more water here.
Adelita Grijalva’s journey has been one of hard work, dedication, and a genuine desire to serve. Her credentials are not inherited by association; they are earned through years of public service and community engagement.
The Star’s balance between conservative and progressive articles is not based on simple addition. Currently, conservatives have nothing to write about. Conservatives, please tell me your views about Why the big beautiful bill is good? Why are tariffs good? Why are FEMA layoffs/cuts good? Why…
Although some may believe that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a fantasy, the actual fact indicates otherwise. The hatred for Trump has resulted in near insanity for those affected. Instead of realistically evaluating current actions and policies, the mantra has been criticism, name calling, c…
George Larsen believes the Star is "in the pocket of the left," thereby ignoring an alternate viewpoint. I wonder if he has considered that MAGA contributors simply are unable, or are unwilling, to provide more editorial opinions. I personally don't believe the Star is suppressing right-wing…
President Trump's response to Brazil in imposing a staggering 50% tariff reminds me of Will Smith's great line in Men in Black: "Big bad bug gotta soft spot!" Apparently, Mr. Trump's soft spot is for former Brazilian president and would-be dictator Bolsonaro, who is charged with trying to ov…

In the animated film Rango, the title character confronts the mayor for secretly developing land around the desert town of Dirt to build “the future†while stealing water from longtime residents. Does this sound familiar? In ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, Project Blue is selling us the same lies as the mayor in Ra…

Let the Hunger Games begin.
In the destructive flood in Texas, any talk of loss must involve the death of children and the adults who were trying to save them; the term “losers†does not enter into this description of the loss of loved ones. Yet at a recent news conference held by Governor Abbott, he decries the questi…
Much was harmful in the recently passed budget bill, including gutting of energy efficiency tax credits, which are now set to expire December 31, 2025. I took advantage of the tax incentives last year and purchased a storage battery for my solar panels. The battery plus solar has saved me 75…
A recent email from CD6 Rep. Ciscomani claims that 88% of seniors will pay no tax on their Social Security benefits. The Big Ugly Budget does not eliminate Social Security taxes. The standard deduction is set to rise due to inflation (COLA). Secondly, the bill adds an extra standard deductio…
Thank you, U.S. House Representative Juan Ciscomani, for speaking up against selling Mt. Lemmon, Sabino Canyon and other cherished ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ public lands. I’m a Marana resident, former town council member and board member for the Friends of Ironwood Forest National Monument. I know how importa…
7/9/25 Las Vegas Review-Journal: “Democrats have been especially aggressive…against President Donald Trump.†The editorial did not provide any statistics to support the stated opinion. That said, given the competence and coherence of DJT, it might be true because he makes it so easy to impug…
Before the 2024 election, I was positive the greatness of VP Kamala Harris would sweep the presidential election. But I did speculate on what life would be like in the highly unlikely event Trump won. His evil and unamerican oligarchy is spreading through the couintry like wildfire. Benefici…
To our readers:
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ editorial: Preserve our public landsPublic lands are ours. They belong to all Americans. Congress must reject Trump Administration efforts to sell them into private hands.
President Garimella, we urge you to take steps to get the University of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ into compliance with public-records law.
The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ believes that the City of ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, with a budget surplus and an already high sales-tax rate, should find other ways to finance key initiatives before asking for another half-cent sales tax increase over 10 years.

Our nation’s paltry federal minimum wage of just $7.25 an hour is rightly criticized as far too little to sustain a worker, let alone a family.
After the House of Representatives passed its “big beautiful bill" of goods, I went to dinner at a favorite restaurant in Philadelphia. I know the people there. They are friendly, hardworking and allow me to speak Italian with them.
