Prosecutors keep on concealing evidence to exonerate defendants.

Freeing some defendants 25 years after a false conviction is a rather unsatisfying form of justice. Can't the US develop a system that will assure this form of prosecutor cheating does not happen?

Seven of the eight Democratic senators that rejected the minimum wage increase are multimillionaires.

The article's reasoning about Senator Sinema is too aggressive. She may have a million dollars; she may have several. But I wouldn't try to deduce that from her salary. With an income of $174,000 per year, it is likely to take more than a decade to save a million dollars.

Switzerland approved by referendum a law to prohibit covering your face in public.

I am not Muslim, and I am not a woman, but that law will infringe my freedom to defend myself from surveillance, when I am there.

The US blames a missile attack on a US base in Iraq on Iran-supported militias and plans to retaliate.

If we consider only that one attack on a US base, as a narrow issue without context, I think that retaliating is justified in general. It may not be wise, though.

However, considering that attack in its context, as following several much worse US attacks on Iran's officials and installations, I think the US should realize that it is more perpetrator than victim in this exchange. Instead of retaliating, it should ask for negotiations.

Prince Bone Saw is so important the US thinks that it can't afford sanctions against him.

But Salafi Arabia is one among many regimes that regularly get away with murder. Partly because making sanctions effective is harder that it might appear. If the US wants sanctions to exert positive influence rather than only look tough or cause mass suffering, it needs to be very clever about them.
