The American Economy is under attack once again-- from Trump, as he hits the panic button again regarding tariffs frustrated that our leading trading partners won't cut a deal with his erratic Administration. Popok puts his Wall Street hat on again, to talk about how Trump is poisoning not jut the world economy but our own, and what we can do about it in the short term.

Trump's DOJ is abusing a federal judge again, refusing her order to put a witness with knowledge under oath at a hearing to tell her what the Government plans to do with Abrego Garcia when may be released next week from a federal detention center in Tennessee. Popok explains how Judge Xinis is likely to use this contempt conduct to order that Abrego Garcia be brought back to Maryland under her watchful eye.

Trump's top DOJ official and former criminal defense lawyer may have just lied under oath in his Senate Judiciary Hearing to get a lifetime judge position, and a whistleblower has the text messages to prove it. Popok reports on the new bombshell disclosures by former DOJ senior litigation counsel Erez Reuveni against Emil Bove and Pam Bondi.

The babies may save democracy and our Constitution after all! A federal judge just certified a class of babies to take on Trump's deranged Birthright Citizenship order and used that baby-class to issue a injunction to block its enforcement on 7/27 subject to appeal, Popok reports.

Either Trump's DOJ is lying to a federal judge, or the El Salvadoran government is lying to the UN, but they both be telling the truth about which country controls the men removed to El Salvador's notorious CECOT supermax killer prison, with the DOJ representing they have NO control, and El Salvador reporting that only the US HAS control. A Trump appointed Judge (Gallagher) in Maryland has put an ultimatum to the Trump DOJ and you may be shocked by what she informs them. Next on a Popok hot take.

Trump's DOJ is now filing laugh out loud ridiculous legal filings to support their loser of an argument that Trump can rip away US babies' citizenship. Popok reports on the lame brain filing that doesn't seem to understand the basics of the class action law they are arguing against, which should lead Judge Boardman to quickly be the first to certify a nationwide class and block Trump's executive order.

Trump is about to spy on his own spy agencies, with Tulsi Gabbard setting up the "Directors Initiative Group" (DIG) to create a giant database of 18 intelligence agencies emails and texts for her to run an AI program to try to find disloyal staffers. What could possibly go wrong with creating a giant database of classified and unclassified information for our enemies to hack? Popok discusses what this stupid busy-work activity Trump gave Gabbard to keep her out of his hair, means for our national security.

Michael Popok is back at the Intersection with breaking news at the hot corner of law and politics and tackles: 1)  Trump's Big Beautiful Bill's attempts to defund and put Planned Parenthood out of business being blocked by a Big Beautiful Temporary Restraining Order; 2) Judge Xinis telling the DOJ, effectively, that they can't be trusted and ordering that they go under oath in the witness box this week about the Abrego Garcia case; 3) how one Federal Judge in Boston is single handily blocking the Trump Administration's Birth Right Citizenship cancelling executive order; 4) Marco Rubio is a "Deeper Fake" than we thought with a new Signal scandal rocking the Trump Administration and undermining our national security, and so much more.

Big Beautiful Bill meet Judge Talwani's Big Beautiful Temporary Restraining Order in favor of protecting Planned Parenthood from destruction by the Trump Administration. Popok explains why the Supreme Court's recent rulings in the last 10 days against Planned Parenthood and against federal judges using nationwide injunctions are irrelevant to the new case and won't stand in the way of the Court making sure PP is not put out of business.

A pissed-off Judge Xinis closely questioned and then scolded new Trump DOJ lawyers who flipped-flopped for the 4th time in the case and now said that they would effectively abandon the manufactured criminal case against Abrego Garcia and just remove him in 2 weeks to a third country, not named El Salvador. Popok reports on the judge blurting out that getting answers that aren't "illogical" from the DOJ is like "stapling jello to the ceiling" as she denied 2 Trump motions to dismiss the case, and is strongly considering ordering that Abrego Garcia be brought under her protection in Maryland in order to comply with the Supreme Court's orders in the case.
