The vice president, speaking in Florida, accused Donald Trump of ‘gaslighting’ the country because of his changing positions on abortion
A recent editorial informs us how serious the Hawaii Tourism Authority’s managerial “lapses” have been and how the organization has been “fumbling” in handling the millions of dollars of taxpayer money it receives from the state Legislature annually (“Give reset HTA chance to succeed,” Star-Advertiser, Our View, April 7). Its failures to achieve marketing goals are mentioned. However, since tourism is “foundational to the economy,” the writers regard the Legislature’s threats to cut off funding...

To the editor: We at the Epilepsy Foundation Los Angeles were heartbroken to read Paul Karrer's article about his father's death. His story, however, is a tragic outlier. Adults with well-controlled epilepsy are involved in fewer crashes than drivers with many other medical conditions. One study found that a fraction of 1% of all car crashes are caused by a person with epilepsy. People with uncontrolled epilepsy or who are not taking their medication as prescribed should not be driving. People...
To the editor: The U.S. Supreme Court may allow municipalities to crack down on homeless encampments within their jurisdiction. This would effectively make homelessness a crime. This attitude is nothing new. Nearly 100 years ago, G.K. Chesterton wrote: "For our law has in it a turn of humor or touch of fancy which Nero or Herod never happened to think of: that of actually punishing homeless people for not sleeping at home." We live in a culture where we idolize the rich and despise the poor. We...
To the editor: Your article on the DIY house built by homeless immigrants in Highland Park vividly brought to mind the various favelas I saw in Rio de Janeiro many years ago. Many of them were intricately constructed of several different materials, some with a great deal of skill and artistry. And I could not help wondering at the time how there was such a disparity in that city between the extremely wealthy and so many poor people living in these shacks. I keep wondering the same thing now. If...
Kari Lake, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Kyrsten Sinema, is having a very difficult time figuring out just what it is she stands for, depending upon who she’s talking to. That’s leading her to swing wildly from the far-right fringes steeped in conspiracy theories to trying to put on a “moderate” face to consolidate support. Abortion is the most obvious example of Lake’s confusion, where she’s flip-flopped between absolute bans, allowing each individual...
To the editor: Don't get me wrong, I applaud Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for her new program asking wealthy residents and companies to help fund housing solutions for people who are homeless. But before the area's millionaires and billionaires put their heads on their pillows tonight, I would ask that they contemplate what happened on the front end of the homelessness equation. Did they always pay all their employees, even the ones who clean their offices, a wage that allowed them to rent a...

The upgrades are due to requiring an additional 25 gigawatts of power, which is equivalent to more than 62 million solar panels. Scientists found Californians will also have to pay the $20 billion bill.
