Undermining democracy

From the latest installment of Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American :

It was exactly a year ago today, on July 1, 2024, that the United States Supreme Court decided Donald J. Trump v. United States. The court’s majority overthrew the central premise of American democracy: that no one is above the law....

It was at a press conference in Ochopee, Florida, today that Trump showed just how profoundly the immunity conferred on him a year ago is undermining democracy.
One of the more surreal and terrifying days of 2025, with alligators, cages, and cologne. And Richardson transcribed the demonstration of mental acuity that I transcribed yesterday.
