Do these politicians have no shame?
To the editor:
The small city of Springfield, Ohio, has been turned into a target of anti-immigrant hate by Donald Trump and JD Vance, echoed by many of their followers. They spread the vicious lie that Haitian immigrants — who are legally documented and were invited by the town leadership to settle there — are eating people’s pets.
GOP’s intent is to handcuff NOAA
To the Editor:
I am concerned about the effects of “Project 2025” — the Republican playbook for a second Trump administration — on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Project 2025 aims to change how federal agencies operate, and it could harm NOAA’s ability to do its work.
Biden and Trump have major flaws

Yes, indeed, Thomas Paine!

The indictment of former President Donald J. Trump in the Southern District of Florida on June 8 is only 44 pages long.
Law-and-order Republicans are silent
To the Editor:
It is truly disheartening to see the response of elected Republicans to the indictment of Donald Trump.

Trump administration criticized for implementation of landmark conservation law
Environmental groups are decrying the Trump Administration’s execution of the Great American Outdoors Act and the Dingell Act, which permanently reauthorized the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The acts were hailed as major bipartisan victories providing sorely needed funding for maintenance and conservation of public lands, with Trump signing both into law.
Some WNC Republicans won’t back Trump-endorsed candidate
As Republicans across North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District head to the polls, some of them are bucking their party and their president by putting principle over politics.
