Letter to the editor: Disclosing donors’ information is dangerous
Trump. Shapiro. Hortman. Hoffman. Kirk.

Counterpoint: DC should not become a state. Ever.
The District of Columbia should not become a state. Ever. The Constitution established the District of Columbia to be the home of the newly created federal government so that it was not “in” and thereby “under the control or influence” of any one state. Put the capital city in New...
Point: Trump’s invasion of DC makes the case for statehood
President Donald Trump took over the Washington, D.C., police force and deployed the National Guard under the pretense of “rescuing the nation’s capital from crime.” Of course, masked officers roaming the streets and intimidating and harassing residents haven’t made the city feel safer.
