In Trump v. United States, the Supreme Court held that the president has "absolute immunity from criminal prosecution" for official acts.
To reach that conclusion, the High Court grappled with this question: how much power a president should have?
And some legal scholars say the ruling draws on the unitary executive theory — which, in its most extreme interpretation, gives the president sole authority over the executive branch.
But did it pave the way for Trump's second term and the constitutional questions it's raised: From the dismantling of federal agencies established by Congress to the deportation migrants to third party countries without due process?

The Daily Signal - How Democrats Lost America’s Trust: David Harsanyi on “The Rise of BlueAnon”
Author and columnist David Harsanyi joins The Daily Signal to discuss his book "The Rise of BlueAnon: How the Democrats Became the Party of Conspiracy Theorists."
In this thought-provoking conversation with Rob Bluey, Harsanyi explains why Democrats have embraced conspiracy theories, analyzes the collapse of institutional trust in America, and shares his perspective on faith's crucial role in our society.
Harsanyi argues that Democrats resort to conspiracy theories to avoid substantive debate, with the Russia collusion narrative being "the most effective conspiracy theory perhaps in political history." He discusses the modern media landscape, why Americans have lost trust in legacy institutions, and offers candid insights about the dangers of government replacing the role of faith and private charity in American life.
The conversation also touches on Trump's administration, DOGE, college campus protests, and Harsanyi's new Substack newsletter where he continues to provide analysis beyond his regular columns: https://davidharsanyi.substack.com/

Up First from NPR - The Long Shadow of Duterte’s Drug War
With the recent arrest of former Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte for crimes against humanity, a spotlight is again on actions taken during his presidency. Even years after Duterte declared his war on drugs, the reverberations continue to tear through the country. The loved ones of those killed are still left seeking justice and the extra-judicial killings, commonly called EJKs, that defined Duterte's war continue to sow fear amongst the people.
Today on The Sunday Story, we share an episode that originally aired last year with reporter Emily Feng. She traveled to the Philippines to understand the aftermath of Rodrigo Duterte's war on drugs.
