Letter to the editor: Trump’s grift
Former President Donald Trump and his conspiracy clown car of mostly criminal associates are the epitome of what happens when gullibility and fear meet greed and power. Between Election Day 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, Trump raised from small donors $250 million for an election defense fund that lawmakers say...

Letter to the editor: We need a president who’ll preserve our country
Our country, once the “shining city on the hill” and the “beacon of liberty,” is now, in these difficult times, rapidly going to “hell in a handbag.” We have, in the last two years, gone from “America first” to the “liberal world order” to the “Great Reset” and “woke” culture....

Gregory A. Daddis: Images of gun violence could prod the public
Another American holiday. Another mass shooting. This time in Highland Park, Ill., where seven were killed. We seem destined to both celebrate and mourn these days.

Victor Guillen: Biden administration must expand TPS for Venezuelans
Hundreds of thousands of hardworking Venezuelans could gain temporary legal status in the U.S. if the Biden administration chooses to redesignate and extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans like myself.

Letter to the editor: Parks should be protected, not fracked
I lived in Allegheny County from 1992 to 2013, when I moved to Chapel Hill, N.C. I moved back here in 2019. Our county is blessed with many beautiful parks where I enjoy walking, kayaking and biking. It saddens me greatly to think of our beautiful parks being fracked (“Allegheny...
Editorial: Budget passing is bare minimum
The best you can say about the Pennsylvania Legislature’s move on the budget is that it was quick. That is, if you can call something quick when it’s more than a week late. On Thursday, seven days after the budget was due, the House finally passed a spending plan with...

Letter to the editor: Overturning Roe is a disaster for national unity
One of the stranger assertions in the Dobbs opinion is that Roe v. Wade is “controversial.” In the first place it’s not true — nearly all polls show a staunch majority against overturning it. But Roe was also a compromise, between the two strong positions that abortion should be fully...

Letter to the editor: We need new rules for our legislators
I’m sick of newsletters from my state legislators saying they’re “honored” to represent me. They don’t represent me or you! They can’t because of procedural rules voted on at the start of each new session. Rules pushed through by a handful of majority leaders determine who can schedule bills and...
