Seattle Renews Its Unique Approach to Public Campaign Financing
The democracy vouchers program hands residents $100 to donate to local candidates and it’s credited with broadening civic involvement. Voters on Tuesday extended it by 10 years.

In a predominantly Black area of Chicago, police can now directly file gun charges without a prosecutor’s approval. The new program rolls back a process that serves to check misconduct.

A Trump-pardoned Jan. 6 rioter was just ordered to pay $500,000 to the widow of the officer he assaulted, who died by suicide nine days later.
The cost of “patriotism” is being paid by grieving families.
And still, no remorse. Just pardons.

One of the things that personally offends me about Cuomo is that he’s so obviously running for mayor for himself and not for the city’s well being. He’s not even arguing for the city’s future. You can’t name a Cuomo policy, and that’s by design. It’s perverse that we don’t expect better.
Four years after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo resigned in disgrace, New York City's Democratic voters should look elsewhere for leadership.
