Checks, balances more crucial than ever | Letters to the editor

I want to thank President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for calling Donald Trump to concede the election and show him, and his supporters, how a democracy is supposed to work.

Chris Perkins: Dolphins’ recent lineup changes are more significant than you think

MIAMI GARDENS — The Miami Dolphins (4-6) are tightening up their operation in a number of ways as they embark on the final seven games of the regular season and attempt to make the playoffs.
