Apple and Google have developed a supposedly anonymous contact-tracking method which will be part of iOS and Android. That, in itself, is not wrong in principle.

The "Justice Department" claims that it can't prove Michael Flynn gave false testimony — the fact that he said so twice is not enough proof to convict a friend of the corrupter.

The state of California should pass a law that workers can get unemployment compensation if they stay home from an illegally-open business.
