On COI #77, Kyle and Will analyze the US bombing raid on Syria and what it will mean for the Biden administration's efforts to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal. The strikes were deemed a response to recent rocket attacks on US forces in Iraq by militia groups that Washington claims are acting at Iran's order, though little evidence has been offered to support that assertion. Will and Kyle argue the bombing has already damaged relations and made any agreement over the nuclear deal even less likely.

An expose by journalist Max Blumenthal revealing covert media influence operations by the British government was slapped with a "hacked materials" label by Twitter. While the story was based on leaked documents that may have been obtained through a hack, by all indications they are authentic. Twitter's decision to label the story appears to be an attempt to discredit its findings and discourage readers from sharing it.

A grand jury has declined to charge the Rochester, New York police officers responsible for the death of Daniel Prude, who was killed in police custody during a mental health episode.

In another police brutality case, an independent report commissioned by the city of Aurora, Colorado has determined that the officers involved in the killing of 23-year-old Elijah McClain had no legal reason to stop, detain, search or arrest him before his death. EMTs administered ketamine to McClain without examining him and over-estimated his weight, leading to a larger dose that likely played a role in his death.
