Popok reports on 50 House Democrats calling for the creation of a bipartisan 17 person Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge Powers and Duties, to get the Trump Cabinet and VP under oath about Trump's mental capacity and provide oversight over the 25th Amendment removal process.  At the same time, a group of leading psychologists and psychiatrists have sent a demand letter to Congress that they provide drag in the Cabinet and VP for immediate testimony and "consultation" because Trump is exhibiting the "Dark Triad" of narcissism, machiavellianism, and pathological behavior that makes him unfit to be Commander in Chief.

VP JD Vance just made public statements longing for Hungary's dictatorship over America's democracy, and admitting that the US is engaged in "economic terrorism" as it loses its soul under the Trump Administration to win an unwinnable war with Iran.  Popok reports on Trump making JD into his "Kamala" tasked with fixing unfixable world issues, as JD has a crisis of faith silently watching his boss bash his Pope on the eve of JD's book tour for his book about CONVERTING TO CATHOLICISM!

One way to beat Trump at his steal the vote game, is to file suits to, as Skye Perryman, founder of Democracy Forward puts it, places  "all the liars in one room" in a federal suit to pull the mask off of the Administration's coordinated efforts with known Election Deniers, to lower voter turnout for those opposed to Trump.  Skye joins Popok to brief our audience.

Trump is in full panic mode now that his insane "Trump as Jesus" social media posting in his attacks on Pope Leo have led the Christian Right and Catholics to join together to condemn him as the "antichrist" and "blasphemous". Popok reports on Trump first pulling the image down; telling reporters that he wasn't Jesus he was a "doctor," and Pope Leo rising above it all to condemn Trump by using the gospel of peace.  Just who is this anti-religious, anti christian, anti pope and anti catholic demographic Trump is appealing too, or is just another data point proving that Trump has cracked and needs to be removed through impeachment and/or the 25th Amendment?

Popok knows the judge and the Wall Street Journal's lawyer and puts the pieces together in today's breaking news and dismissal of Trump's $10 billion dollar "epstein birthday card" defamation case against Rupert Murdoch and his paper.

Trump’s retaliatory 10 percent tariffs based on an obscure 1974 law never used met fierce resistance at the Court of International Trade. Popok covers what happened in the oral argument about the suit brought by 22 Democratic Attorneys General against Trump’s latest illegal scheme as he foot drags on repaying the $160 billion owed to American businesses.

In breaking news, Popok explains how a weekend 2-1 decision by the DC Federal Appellate Court not only is a major set back to Trump's Ballroom and Secret Hospital and Top Secret Military Installation, plans at the White House sending it back to the trial court judge for another round of hearings, but also smoked out the Trump appointed judge (Rao) who showed her true colors in her dissent.

Popok reports on Former CIA Director John Brennan,--once our nation's chief Spymaster -- far from being silenced by Trump's DOJ's ongoing retaliatory criminal probe of him, has fired back and called for Trump's immediate ouster under the 25th Amendment because the Iran War campaign has revealed him to be "unhinged" and the exact person that the "25th Amendment was created for."

Popok reports on the demands made on the White House physician by Ranking Memberr of the Judiciary Committee Jamie Raskin to immediately conduct a "comprehensive neuropsychological assessment of the President" based on his demented conduct on social media and in public over the last week, including about the Iran war.
