Rule and divide: Donald Trump is judged immune
- Geoengineering research indicates solar methods are low-cost and accessible, while polar geoengineering faces prohibitive costs and extreme conditions that may keep it inactive, with scientific resolution expected to take a long time and a risk of premature deployment despite initial research framing.
- Sriracha production by Hoi Fong remains halted until at least September, with no certainty regarding a permanent return to shelves, while competitors including Tabasco, Sky Valley, and Yellowbird are anticipated to capture market share in the interim.
- A Supreme Court ruling is projected to be a highly consequential and controversial decision of the term, potentially granting U.S. leaders expansive powers that create a precedent where executive authority is unconstrained by law.
- The ruling's primary opinion is being crafted with a focus on future implications, creating a possibility that future presidents could perceive impunity for actions such as ordering military personnel to commit violence, effectively resembling a monarchy where criminal prosecution is difficult.
- Legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump for serious charges are expected to face significant obstacles to prosecution before the fall presidential election, making a conviction or imprisonment before that date highly unlikely.
