Editorial urges quick action on harassment policy in Kansas
Kansas lawmakers should adopt the Women's Foundation recommendations to update sexual harassment policies in the Legislature. The report calls for annual civil discourse training, a nonfraternization policy for interns and staff, bans on gifts to interns, independent outside counsel for investigations, and prohibition of secret settlements. The Legislative Coordinating Council has the report but has not acted.

Iranian uprising tests Iran's system and foes
David Ignatius analyzes a nationwide Iranian protest movement that challenges the regime from discontented urban middle class and dispossessed factions. The revolt, unlike 2009, spreads from Mashhad to Isfahan, with chants against Khamenei and Soleimani. U.S. officials see a spontaneous surge that could backfire on the regime as sanctions and global attention rise.

First sore winner: Obama, Trump loom over U S unity
Mark Shields argues that modern presidents mimic Lincoln in adding enemies through victory and praise, contrasting Obama and Bush with Trump as a break from civility. He cites Obama recalling Romney’s lineage, Bush joking about Gore, and Trump deflecting bad news by targeting Hillary Clinton and Comey.
