Digest

The Supreme Court issued a landmark decision on presidential immunity, ruling that former presidents are shielded from prosecution for certain official acts, but not for unofficial acts. This decision, made along ideological lines with a 6-3 vote, significantly expands the power of the presidency and makes it more difficult to prosecute former presidents. The ruling is likely to delay the January 6th case and the classified documents case against Donald Trump until after the election. Meanwhile, President Biden is facing pressure after his widely criticized debate performance, with some Democrats urging him to step aside. The Biden campaign is dismissing these calls and insisting that he will remain in the race. Hurricane Barrel, the earliest ever Atlantic category four storm on record, is tearing through the Caribbean and heading for landfall in Eastern Mexico. In other news, a passenger plane made an emergency landing after encountering severe turbulence, injuring at least 30 people. The jury in the Karen Reed murder trial was unable to reach a verdict, resulting in a mistrial. The case will now go to a second trial. New York's attorney general is investigating the deadly police shooting of a 13-year-old boy in Utica, New York. The boy was shot after police believed he was armed with a gun, but it turned out to be a pellet gun. A small plane crash in upstate New York killed five members of the same family, including two children. Finally, a father-daughter duo, Captain Michael Rennick and his daughter McKenzie, co-piloted two flights together, making it a family affair in the cockpit.
