'The President is Now a King Above the Law': Sotomayor Says She Fears For Democracy in Scathing Dissent to Trump Immunity Decision
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to grant presidents absolute immunity for all official acts as president, to the exclusion of private acts. Dissenting were the three liberal Justices Elena Kagan, Ketanji Brown Jackson, and Sonia Sotomayor, who tore into the conservative majority in her dissent.

Trump made more than 30 false claims during CNN’s presidential debate — far more than Biden



Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump made false and misleading claims during CNN’s presidential debate on Thursday – but Trump did so far more than Biden, just like in their debates in 2020.

________________

Biden sounded and looked as though he had a cold or flu.  At the beginning of the debate he was coughing and clearing his throat. 
He had a bad performance. Next.
