Democrats must embrace change to help more Americans
Control of Congress is still up for grabs as several key races in the 2022 midterm elections remain undecided.

Twitter will be dangerous in the hands of Elon Musk
After Elon Musk acquired Twitter for $44 billion and fired its top executives, the rogue multi-billionaire wasted no time in placating advertisers worried about the site becoming a hate-filled source of misinformation, all in the name of free speech.

We should combat opioid crisis with support, not punitive measures
Opioid addiction has led to an epidemic of overdose-related deaths in the United States. Drug overdose deaths now surpass those from car crashes and guns, according to the CDC. Companies like Purdue Pharma have had to pay billions of dollars in fines for their role in sparking the opioid epidemic in America. But what about…

In spite of security concerns, voting more important than ever
With Election Day less than a month away and fraud claims stemming from the 2020 vote still very raw, officials are enhancing security and safety measures.

Saving for retirement is getting harder and in need of major reform
Saving for retirement in 2022 is harder than it used to be and many Americans aren’t adequately prepared. Not only are Americans living longer – therefore requiring more savings for their golden years – but safety nets like employer-sponsored pension plans are relics of decades past. Now the onus is on employees, and the responsibilities…

Lindsey Graham’s proposed 15-week abortion bill puts women at risk
Just eight weeks before the midterm elections, Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., introduced a bill that would ban abortion after 15 weeks in most cases. With Democrats in control of Congress, the bill has little chance of passing and may have even given voters more incentive to turn out in November. Straight Arrow News contributor Jordan…

DeSantis’ cruel migrant ploy is a setup for 2024 nomination
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, R-FL, is no stranger to controversy. He recently signed into state law the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, banned abortion after 15 weeks and now he’s having a moment with migrants. Some say he may even have violated international law by sending Venezuelan immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard, reportedly under false pretenses. Straight Arrow…

We need a third party to run with Democrats and Republicans in 2024
Midterm elections are coming in November featuring the usual contest: Democrats versus Republicans. But some surveys show that many voters prefer neither party, and in fact, would like to have another choice altogether. A Pew Research Center survey from August shows the percentage of voters with an unfavorable view of both political parties has risen…

Biden rightly turns aggressive on Trump’s MAGA Republicans
With the 2022 midterm elections around the corner, President Biden recently hit the campaign trail to help his fellow Democrats. In his fiery prime-time speech in Philadelphia, he referred to the MAGA crowd and extremist forces within the Republican Party as threats to American democracy. In response, former President Donald Trump called Biden an “enemy…

To avoid a Trump win, Biden should consider bowing out in 2024
President Joe Biden is enjoying recent political wins and higher approval ratings that could give Democrats a boost heading into the midterms. He is even making some stops on the campaign trail supporting candidates in Pennsylvania and Ohio. But the president has not confirmed a 2024 run, and, in fact, many Democrats don’t want to see…

The US must do more to help the Afghanistan people

States’ versus federal rights battle makes civil war scenario possible
Prior to the 2016 election of Donald Trump, most Americans would have thought a second civil war an implausible scenario. Then January 6 happened, and, more recently, controversial Supreme Court and legislative decisions on abortion and gun control. Heated discussions around hot-button issues like racial equity, immigration and climate change are all further dividing a…
