I agree with Donald Trump in that if the big kahuna commits a crime and its obvious, you arrest and prosecute the big kahuna and not wait for the underlings to be prosecuted first. If our team had arrested and prosecuted Trump soon after January 20, 2021, then Trump would be out of the picture now.

This is a BFD in American history. If racists run the DOJ and nobody but the DOJ can enforce the Voting Rights Act, then the VRA is finished and we're back to blacks having to guess the number of marbles in a jar to vote.
In non-Trump #SCOTUS news, Justice Kavanaugh, acting alone, has issued an "administrative" stay of the Eighth Circuit's decision that private plaintiffs can't enforce section 2 of the Voting Rights Act—temporarily freezing that ruling while the full Court decides whether to freeze it pending appeal:

If true, and Trump is batting 1.000 with the Supreme Court, then the Constitution and lower courts don't matter anymore. Trump is King.
For more on why it is absolutely incumbent upon #SCOTUS to provide even a modicum of explanation when it intervenes to upset the status quo in cases like these, see this "One First" bonus post from June 26:

The continuing fallout from Monday afternoon’s ruling in the third-country removals case is an object lesson for why the justices should be providing explanations when they grant emergency relief.

Mattel’s CEO says toy manufacturing won’t return to the U.S., but price hikes will—blaming costs, supply issues, and Trump’s tariffs. These import taxes are set to cost U.S. consumers over $90B in 2025, with households paying $1,600–$5,200 more, depending on income.
