Man what's wild to me is that so much of this is being framed as giving power to the PRESIDENT and it's not
The supreme court is taking control of the other branches.
Removing chevron deference means that the courts will decide our regulations, not congress
This absolute immunity for the president decision means the courts can decide what is/isn't an official act.

Clarence Thomas Torn Over Case Where Both Sides Offer Compelling Scuba Trips
WASHINGTON—Admitting that he had never been more conflicted about a ruling in his life, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was reportedly torn Monday over a case in which both sides offered compelling scuba trips.ji39f8deollek3 (The Onion)
Joe Biden now has the ability to save the Republic. He can order Seal Team 6 to go shoot a bunch of Republicans and it is completely, unquestionably, legal. Not a crime. Trump, the 6 Republican Justices, and a bunch of other people. Note that I am not advocating any crime be committed here, just a use of Presidential power to save the USA from a clear and present threat. Biden could appoint Justices to repeal the decision, making him the only user ever.
Presidents now have presumptive immunity from prosecution for “official acts.” So what happens now with the Federal Trump DC trial? It goes back to the trial judge who will have to make a first determination on whether Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results are official or unofficial acts.

"The goal here is 👉not just to prevent Trump from winning the election. The goal is to prevent Trump from attaining the Presidency again, via whatever means he plans to pursue.👈 And for that reason, it is highly unwise to add points of potential failure he can exploit where, thus far, there are none...
Aside from his Israeli policy, Biden is, most Democratic voters..will concede, a remarkably successful President. Via whatever means, he has managed to do that job well"
"This is what happens when you gather a handful of nutters like Donald Trump, Steve Bannon, etc. and a bunch of angry, uneducated white people who believe the world 'owes them' and that they've been ignored in the past."

House GOP changed the rules to prevent anyone from mentioning that Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, that he was found liable of sexual abuse and defamation, that he has been indicted for various crimes (such as inciting an insurrection, refusing to return government secrets, as well as asking Georgia to "find" votes to overturn its election). IOW, hiding facts. 🙄

A big positive step from the Biden administration re: climate that's been woefully under-publicized: https://grist.org/solutions/american-climate-corps-swearing-in-ceremony/
This is one of the many Biden climate response initiatives that will be immediately unwound under a second Trump administration. I'm exaggerating when I say I am a single-issue voter in this election, but not by very much.

The Conservative, far-right supreme court is helping Trump every day and every way.
Their slow walk of deciding Trump's immunity is gutting America, as a new cut into democracy happens each day of inaction.

...massive lies:
"Over the last month, you can feel that something important has happened. 👉A tipping point has been reached.👈 Republicans who used to act like they had not heard or read the latest #Trump outrage now show up at his trials and parrot his most vile lies. The #GOP now openly extol the virtues of political prosecutions and disparage the rule of law.”
God save America,
because most politicians are failing 2 do so.
