Victims identified as mystery surrounds Los Angeles shooting that left 3 dead

George Santos scandal consumes Congress, chafes lawmakers on both sides of aisle
Trailed constantly by shouting reporters, Rep. George Santos has become one of the most watched first-term congressmen in history. The New York Republican’s every word is parsed.

Michael Reagan: Biden’s lost docs and losing war
It’s a stretch, but I think I know the real reason the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago. We’ve been told for months that the DOJ ordered a search of Donald Trump’s home in Florida because he was not turning over a bunch of classified documents to the National Archives fast enough. Supposedly,...

The answer to the above headline is yes. Penn State was 133 yards away from doing it in 2022. And that was with a pair of true freshmen — extremely talented true freshmen — leading the way. The Nittany Lions’ running game renaissance last season was something special to watch....

Letter to the editor: No Pride Night hypocrisy
Tim Benz trying to make sense of the comments regarding Ivan Provorov’s protest on Pride Night in Philadelphia was confusing if not amusing (“I’m not a fan of Ivan Provorov’s Pride Night jersey boycott, but also dislike hypocritical media fallout,” Jan. 20, TribLIVE). The CBC (government owned) is not the...

Viewpoint 1: Bipartisanship is alive and well, but that’s not necessarily a good thing
Old habits die hard, as the saying goes. But myths and legends do, too, as Hunter S. Thompson famously said. When it comes to government, there is one idea that endures despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It is that bipartisanship is inherently good but essentially dead in our polarized...
Viewpoint 2: Is bipartisanship good? That depends
Bipartisanship is the solution to some problems, but it also helped create them. On the one hand, if you are a classical liberal with a strong preference for fiscal responsibility, bipartisanship generally gets you nowhere. Big Capitol Hill deals mean big spending. On the other hand, the only path to...
Letter to the editor: Jan. 6 — we can never let it happen again
