EDITORIAL: Fourth of July no time for Trump rally "Donald Trump and the Never-Ending Campaign" continues. EDITORIAL: State GOP sounds a lot like Trump But Thursday's diatribe by the new leader of the state GOP is classic Trumpism. It contained all the elements of the smoke-and-mirrors campaign that's permitted Trump to survive scandals that would have sunk any administration before it. EDITORIAL: Lessons to be learned from Pa. Senate brawl There was little for anyone to be proud of in the Pennsylvania statehouse last Wednesday.

EDITORIAL: Act on shameful detention centers The fact that Congress has been unable to meaningfully address the issue of illegal immigration for the past decade is unforgivable. But the current administration’s treatment of those seeking asylum in the United States — including very young children — is shameful. It may even be criminal.

EDITORIAL: Cheers for brewers, thumbs up to later class times Health care professionals have been saying for years that teens aren’t getting enough sleep, but if they did they’d probably do better in school.

When a noted anti-abortion activist filed a request last year with the Pennsylvania Department of Health for information on the state’s abortion clinics, it was granted — with medical personnel’s names and other personal information redacted. EDITORIAL: Big issues still in flux as budget deadline looms Unsurprisingly, the GOP-run Legislature was unmoved by the Democratic governor's beefed-up PR campaign, which recently included stops in York and Hellam Township. In fact, legislative leadership has outright panned Wolf's proposal, in what's become an annual right of passage in Harrisburg. EDITORIAL: Pennsylvania lawmaker should resign After losing the support of many in his own party, it's time for Pennsylvania lawmaker Daylin Leach to resign. EDITORIAL: Fetal-tissue ban just another base-pleaser In title, Donald Trump is president of the United States.

EDITORIALS: York County producing good news It's time to give a big thumbs-up to a new local hospital that will open soon, a group of budding rocket scientists and some brave firefighters. EDITORIAL: York City admin in disarray His is an administration defined by constant staff turnover, incessant end-runs on York City Council and a general aimlessness that serves neither the city's citizenry nor its government. EDITORIAL: Pa. needs the Fairness Act “As the federal government goes backwards, it is past time for Pennsylvania to protect our LGBTQ citizens,” Gov. Tom Wolf said in a news release. EDITORIAL: Mueller reinforces Trump’s misdoings In overseeing the two-year investigation into Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election and possible coordination by the Trump campaign, Robert Mueller ran a very tight ship. The former FBI director did not comment publicly during the probe, his office issued very few statements a EDITORIAL: Optimism as courts reject stonewalling One of the most laughable assertions made by President Donald Trump – and the competition in this regard is intense – is his claim, repeated in May 22 statements to the media, that he is the most transparent president in history. EDITORIAL: York-area folks deserve thumbs-up Over the past week, a number of local folks were involved in programs that helped make the York area a better community. They deserve a thumbs-up.

EDITORIAL: Chipping away at women’s rights Kate Klunk's would-be ban on abortions of fetuses diagnosed with Down syndrome is cribbed directly from North Dakota's code book.
