Letter to the editor: Long covid will be here a long time

Kim Foxx and Cristine Soto DeBerry: Deleting the federal police misconduct database makes us less safe
President Donald Trump’s administration quietly deleted the first federal police misconduct database — a critical tool created to prevent federal law enforcement officers with histories of serious misconduct from being rehired by other agencies. This reckless decision undermines accountability, weakens public trust and makes our communities less safe. Ironically, it...
