Editorial: The U.S. and Iran should turn this pause into peace
Even as the U.S. and Iran flirt with a return to negotiations, each appears convinced it can dish out more pain — and absorb more — than its opponent. They’d both be wiser to accept the compromises needed to bring their six-week conflict to a close. Exactly what derailed marathon...

Letter to the editor: Pa. budget should focus on spending, not revenue
While I’m happy to see those people in Harrisburg start “early” on a budget, I have zero confidence. There is one fact that I have conspicuously noticed in recent years. All the talk about budgets in Pennsylvania has been around “additional revenue sources.” Not one word about spending. This is...

Trump’s Department of Justice demands Wayne County, Michigan, 2024 ballots
LANSING, Mich. — President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is attempting to obtain all ballots submitted for the 2024 election in Wayne County, Michigan, a Democratic stronghold that’s long been a focus of the Republican leader’s unproven claims of voter fraud. Harmeet Dhillon, an assistant attorney general, sent a letter...

Christopher Cokinos: Artemis II does for our era what Apollo 8 did for 1968
Millions in the streets. An unpopular war. Violence. And in the middle of all that: a moonshot. The parallels between today and 1968 are eerie. Nearly 60 years ago, civil rights marches and anti-Vietnam-war rallies burst across the country. Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated. Police...

Hope Reese: The election that unseated strongman Viktor Orban is the most important I’ve witnessed
Last Sunday night, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in one of the most important elections I’ve ever witnessed. The right-wing strongman stepped down from power in Hungary after a rule of 16 years — years that spanned the adult lifetime of a generation of young people, who have...
Letter to the editor: Gas company transparency would help our environment
Pennsylvania’s orphan oil and gas wells and its brownfield properties are often treated as separate challenges, but they share the same root cause: Economic value was created without fully accounting for long‑term cleanup costs. Across the commonwealth, tens of thousands of abandoned wells remain from generations of energy development. At...
Letter to the editor: Is 12-year term limit on county officials a joke?
Regarding the article “Voters to decide on placing term limits on Allegheny County officials” (April 17, TribLive): 12 years? At first, I thought this was a joke. Benjamin Franklin wrote the Pennsylvania Constitution and in it limited lawmakers to one year, with no pay. Oh, how things have changed. A...

Letter to the editor: Analyzing Trump’s rhetoric
I often wince at the things President Trump says. Trump recently warned Iran that “… a whole civilization will die tonight” unless “something revolutionarily wonderful” occurs. I think he was bluffing in the hopes that he wouldn’t have to use any more conventional military attacks to get their cooperation. He...

The Pennsylvania House of Representatives is giving people reason to be optimistic. The lawmakers gave their approval Tuesday to the 2026-27 budget. The good news?
