A Zyn shortage is busting users’ buzz as company halts online sales – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: The fastest-growing nicotine product in the U.S., Zyn, is facing a shortage, causing frustration among users. Zyn, a smokeless nicotine pouch, has seen increased demand due to endorsements from online creators and podcasts. Sales surged 80% year over year. However, supply has been disrupted, partly due to a subpoena forcing parent company Philip Morris to halt online sales. Customers speculate a factory fire may have affected supply, but the company attributes the shortage to high demand and is expanding U.S. production capacity. Nonetheless, normal supply levels are not expected until the end of the year.

Trump immunity: What happens next in Jack Smith’s DC election case after the Supreme Court’s immunity decision
SUMMARY: The Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump is entitled to some immunity from prosecution. Special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case against Trump is expected to proceed with written arguments and witness testimonies before Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, DC. The Supreme Court must first formally hand down its opinion to the federal courts, a process that typically takes up to a month. The ruling has implications for various allegations against Trump, requiring lower courts to analyze his actions to determine what constitutes official presidential acts. Future appeals and legal challenges could delay any potential trial.
