President Joe Biden is set to announce a bold plan to reform the Supreme Court and ensure no president is above the law. The plan includes three major proposals.

The first is a constitutional amendment stating that former presidents can be prosecuted for crimes committed while in office, ending any immunity.

Second, Biden advocates for term limits for Supreme Court justices, proposing an 18-year term, to prevent any single president from having undue influence over the court.

Third, he calls for a binding code of conduct for justices, requiring them to disclose gifts and recuse themselves from cases with conflicts of interest.

Biden emphasizes that these reforms aim to restore public trust and uphold the principle that no one is above the law in America. The announcement comes amidst concerns over recent Supreme Court decisions and ethics scandals.

"Previously agreed upon September 10th debate. He agreed to that previously. Now it appears he's backpedaling. But I'm ready, and I think the voters deserve to see the split screen that exists in this race on a debate stage. And so, I'm ready. Let's go."

Former President Donald Trump's campaign announced that they would not commit to a debate with Vice President Kamala Harris until she is officially confirmed as the Democratic nominee for president. The decision follows Harris' challenge, where she expressed her readiness for the previously scheduled September debate and highlighted the need for voters to see the differences between the two candidates clearly.

Trump's campaign stated that committing now would be premature, as Harris' nomination isn't finalized. Harris responded on social media questioning Trump's commitment to debate "any time, any place."

With President Joe Biden stepping down and endorsing Harris, the Democrats are expected to confirm her nomination by August 7.

Many were asking when it was going to happen. Well, former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama called Vice President Kamala Harris to formally endorse and throw their weight behind her as the next president of the United States.

"This is going to be historic," said Michelle Obama.

"We call to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office," added Barack.

The campaign turned the call into a video that has now gone viral on social media.

"I'm looking forward to doing this with the two of you, Doug and I both, and getting out there, being on the road," said Harris.

And that she must because Sunday marks 100 days until the general election. Early polls show her neck and neck with former President Donald Trump as the Harris train keeps plowing ahead.

"In this election, we each face a question. What kind of country do we want to live in?"

That is the start of the first ad released by the Harris 2024 campaign, drawing a line between what she represents and what Trump represents.

"There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us? We choose something different."

And that something different is set to the tune of Beyoncé's song "Freedom." The one-minute and 19-second ad goes on to talk about the various issues that she's going to be talking about in her campaign. From freedom from gun violence to women making decisions about their own bodies, child poverty and affordable healthcare.

"We believe in the promise of America and we are ready to fight for it," says Harris at the end of the ad.

"My fellow Americans, it has been the privilege of my life to serve this nation for over 50 years. Nowhere else on earth could a kid with a stutter from modest beginnings in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and Claymont, Delaware, one day sit behind the resolute desk in the Oval Office as president of the United States."

That was President Joe Biden in his address to the nation, discussing his decision not to run for president in 2024, but to stand behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the presidential nominee.

"She's experienced. She's tough. She's capable. She's been an incredible partner to me and a leader for our country. Now the choice is up to you, the American people."

Biden told those watching that the Republic is now in their hands.

"When Ben Franklin was asked, as he emerged from the convention going on, whether the founders had given America a monarchy or republic, Franklin's response was 'A Republic, if you can keep it.'"

On July 25, 1972, the U.S. government acknowledged its role in the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment, a 40-year study conducted by the United States Public Health Service at Tuskegee Institute, involving 600 poor Black sharecroppers from Macon County, Alabama.

Nearly 400 men had syphilis, but none were informed of their condition nor treated, believing they were receiving free health care for "bad blood."

This unethical study, which provided participants with free medical care, meals, and burial insurance, resulted in numerous deaths, infections, and congenital syphilis cases.

The media leak ended the experiment, but prompted widespread outrage and led to federal laws requiring Institutional Review Boards to protect human subjects in studies.
