The MAGA majority on the Supreme Court led by Amy Coney Barrett just backed RFK Jr's purge of science and medical breakthrough research at the National Institute of Health, allowing Trump to defund the NIH and its research by $800 million dollars, a ruling so bad that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said the majority is playing "Calvin-ball" --there are no fixed rules, and Trump always wins. Popok reports.

In Breaking news, Environmental law just tripped up Trump, as a Federal Judge in Miami just ordered the shut down and DEMOLITION of Alligator Alcatraz in the next 60 days. Popok breaks down the story.

Ever seen a man all alone on a high wire or tightrope without a net, while people intentionally try to throw him off? That's Fed Chairman Jay Powell, as he approaches probably the most important speech of his career today in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Will he gamble again like in 2021, and move to cut interest rates to boost a weak job market, but that could also lead to soaring hyper inflation and price increases, or will he keep rates steady while inflation is on the rise? All will be revealed, first by Popok on his Friday morning Trump-enomics video, and then by Chairman Powell later today in his speech.

In breaking news, Chief Judge Mathew Brann just disqualified Alina Habba from serving as the US Attorney for NJ. Popok explains what just happened, and what happens next at the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, where Trump's other favorite lawyer, Emil Bove, awaits as a newly confirmed judge.

A New York appeals court has overturned a roughly $500 million civil fraud penalty imposed on Donald Trump and his company, ruling that the amount was excessive and violated the Eighth Amendment—while still affirming the underlying fraud finding. The decision leaves in place injunctions and other non-monetary restrictions, and the case is now likely headed to New York’s Court of Appeals. Popok breaks it all down in his latest hot take.

Trump's use of dirty tricks to steal the midterm election just took a major hit, as a federal judge will allow a massive election fraud class action case to continue against Elon Musk for his phony "$1 million dollar" lottery to obtain by fraud valuable voter data to get Trump elected. Popok explains that now the Plaintiffs' lawyers can go after all the emails and communications between Musk and Trump and his campaign in the 2024 election and beyond-- yet another Trump election scandal.

Popok explains why Senator Schiff and AG James, Presidents Obama and Clinton and Hillary, have not been indicted by Trump and likely never will. And on his latest hot take, Popok explains how the democratic political rivals of Trump who have been illegally targeted can file motions to stop the federal probes and grand jury investigations before they even get started.

Trump’s losing battle to topple the democracy is on full display, as President Zelensky shows how you negotiate from strength; 21 State Attorneys General file a new suit to make sure billions of dollars earmarked for crime victims is not blocked to make cheap political points by Trump; Big Law Firms who “settled” with Trump refuse to provide him with any services; Trump’s DOJ admits out loud that its conducting “vindictive prosecutions” and AG Bondi is accused of another corruption scandal. Michael Popok is at The Intersection to rip the mask off of Trump’s corrupt tactics and policies.

The Democratic Attorneys' General have answered the Bat Signal again, and have filed a new injunction lawsuit against the Trump Administration to stop them from victimizing the victims of crimes again, by cutting off Congressionally-mandated victim support funds to the States, as Trump tries to penalize Blue States and demean crime victims at the same time. Popok reports

Trump folds in face of new ACLU lawsuit and provides Due Process and access to lawyers to detainees at Alligator Alcatraz. Popok looks at how 2 judges, one a Trump appointed one, addressed the same issue, and came to completely different results --one that helped Trump and one that didn't.
