Call to end cash bail in New York state
Albany urged reform of cash bail laws to end indigent discrimination. The piece notes Chris Kunkell’s $5,000 bail, his 10,000 annual income, and a lengthy jail stay that harmed employment and care. It cites NYCLU and Vera Institute findings, Gov Cuomo’s State of the State push, and Gianaris proposed bill with Republican concerns about resource use.

An idea worth pursuing The Plattsburgh Press

It notes high US prices, cites a 2003 Sanders bill with safety guarantees, and outlines a two stage plan via licensed Canadian suppliers then broader imports.

Porter’s accusers reveal the man behind the claims
Arkansas Times columnist Gene Lyons argues that Porter's ex wives and accusers expose a pattern of charm followed by rage and control. He links Porter to a culture of male dominance and fear, noting a cycle of violence and secrecy that undermines White House credibility and loyalty to Trump. Lyons cites Booths of abuse, a pattern of blackmail risk, and a critique of the administration’s handling. He references Diane and Hope Hicks while detailing how such stories shape public perception and policy.
