Journalist and women’s rights advocate Masih Alinejad welcomed the sentencing of the Iranian-backed hit team sent to kill her on U.S. soil—a moment she calls proof that the country she once was taught to hate has become the place that saved her life. The plot, orchestrated by agents aligned with Tehran, never succeeded, but the court’s decision to hold the perpetrators accountable in New York reinforces the strength of American legal protections and the rule of law. In her new op-ed for The Free Press, Alinejad writes, “Today, a judge will sentence the hitman Iran sent to kill me on American soil. It’s proof that the country where I sought refuge protects the freedoms I love.”

Veteran physician-turned-journalist Elisabeth Rosenthal says America’s healthcare system is buckling under the weight of perverse incentives, mounting costs, and policy paralysis, and that millions could feel the pain during this fall’s open-enrollment season.
