Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they've been let down by nearly all corners of the party: would be-presidential hopefuls who have flocked to early and swing states but don't bring their megaphones elsewhere; congressional leadership focused on majority-making battlegrounds while safe Black seats are drawn out; and years of chronic underfunding that has allowed local party apparatus to wither away.

California voters will decide in November whether politicians can receive taxpayer-funded campaign money under a ballot measure that would repeal the state's decades-old ban on public financing. Proposition 4, titled the Allow Public Financing of Election Campaigns measure, will appear on the Nov. 3 statewide ballot. If approved, the measure would allow local governments across California to establish programs that use taxpayer dollars to finance political campaigns, repealing the ban established in 1988 by Proposition 73, which prohibited the use of public funds for election campaigns. Critics say the proposal would force taxpayers to subsidize political campaigns at a time when many Californians are struggling with affordability. Several California cities, including Los Angeles, Long Beach, San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, already operate campaign financing programs,

President Trump has paid the writer E. Jean Carroll $5.6 million that was owed to her as a result of a jury's finding that he was liable for sexually assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s and then defaming her, federal court records show. The money, which had been held in escrow while Mr. Trump appealed the 2023 jury award, was disbursed to Ms. Carroll last week, according to a note added to the online court docket in the case on Tuesday.
Three years after a jury concluded President Trump should pay $5 million in damages to the writer E. Jean Carroll for sexual abuse and defamation, she has at last been paid. For Carroll, it's a wait that began long before her federal civil lawsuit went to trial in 2023. The writer first went public with her story in 2019, accusing Mr. Trump of assaulting her in a department store dressing room three decades ago. The jury unanimously concluded a preponderance of evidence supported her claim. Court records show Carroll received $5.62 million, including interest. Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, hailed the writer's victory in a statement to CBS News. "Three years ago, a unanimous nine-person jury found President Trump liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll," Kaplan said.
