   The US Supreme Court just delivered a nail in the nation's democracy coffin as they just ruled that presidents are mostly if not completely immune from any an all prosecutions. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/07/supreme-court-john-roberts-opinion-trump-immunity-nightmare.html

   Another good explainer piece here as well: https://www.vox.com/scotus/358292/supreme-court-trump-immunity-dictatorship
