Letter to the editor: Trump’s tales
Well, Donald Trump is at it again, spreading vitriol and untruths. The last time he ran against a woman, the story was they (whoever “they” are) were running a child sex trafficking ring from a Washington, D.C., pizza shop. This time running it’s that his female opponent let people into...

Letter to the editor: Biden’s presence will continue to be felt
Even if Joe Biden isn’t on the ballot this November, he’ll make sure that you’re thinking of him. As ballistic missiles fly, the U.S. has a choice. Acknowledge that we’re being pulled into a disastrous war and take steps to make peace. Or, put pedal to the metal and dive...
