Standing tall: L.V. Anderson doesn’t buy the narrative that Hillary Clinton is unlikable. Watching her recent performances against her lout of an opponent, Anderson has come to a new conclusion: She finds Madam Secretary to be straight-up inspirational.

Out of pocket: According to a new analysis, Donald Trump’s proposed tax plan would end up costing single parents and people who have large families. This would “impoverish those who need help most,” Jordan Weissmann argues.

Growing chorus: Ruth Graham writes about a cohort of evangelical women who have been speaking out against Trump. They may, Graham argues, have more influence than it first appears.

In the Keystone State: Pennsylvania’s criminal justice system has failed on multiple levels, Lara Bazelon writes, telling the stories of several wrongfully convicted people who have fallen victim to its shoddiness. How did things get so bad?

Too hot: Samsung’s recent exploding-battery problems will bring changes in the smartphone industry, Will Oremus writes. Could the fiasco, which could be attributable to Samsung’s rush to bring a new model to market, even slow down what Oremus calls the “smartphone hype race”? Maybe.
