The Intersection with Michael Popok

Popok reports on Trump using his Civil Rights Division and its head Harmeet Dhillon who is angling for the Attorney General job, to go after the former junior aid to Trump's Chief of Staff on Jan 6, Cassidy Hutchinson who's brave testimony through tears  to the Jan6 Committee about Trump's violent and bizarre actions on Jan6 brought down the House, and Trump has never let her forget it.

Popok reports on the Democrats as big winners in last night's Election Night in America, as Georgia Democrats flipped counties and improved in deep red country by more than 25 points, and Wisconsin's State Supreme Court became 5-2 Blue, with a massive 20 point win for the liberal candidate, in a State Trump won by less than 1 point.

The Supreme Court just used the First Amendment to criticize state laws regulating what dangerous therapies mental health professionals can use. But there is a silver lining and Shannon Minter, legal director for the National Center for LGBTQ Rights (NCLR), knows what has to happen next at the state level and in malpractice suits. He joins Popok for an exclusive briefing of our audience.

Popok breaks down how Senator Elissa Slotkin responded to Trump's genocidal threats that amount to war crimes,  to wipe the Iranian people off he face of the earth, and by sending a message directly to the Military and its commanders again that they would be committing war crimes if they follow Trump's commands.

Popok reports on a brand new lawsuit filed against Trump's new effort to destroy and steal public records and the "people's papers" by not abiding by the Presidential Records Act and Supreme Court precedent dating back to the 1970s.  Leave it to the historians to bring a suit and mention Mar a Lago and Jack Smith while they are at it for support for the position that Trump will steal again if we let him!

Popok reports on the DOJ screwing up g again, having the highest level of its leadership take control of a case while at the same time telling the Judge that DOJ in DC  are NOT in control of the case to avoid having Kilmar Abrego Garcia's indictment dismissed on vindictive prosecution grounds.

Popok reports on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on the chopping block again, as calls for his firing for lying about his relationship with child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein grow in advance of his subpoened  testimony before the House Oversight Committee Hearing.

Within days of Trump signing an executive order last week to try to make Mail in voting harder, and have the Postal Service and Social Security Administration police it in violation of the States' roles in managing federal elections, the ACLU rushed to Court and filed the first case to block the executive order.  Popok is joined by the ACLU's Deputy Director of its Voting Rights Project Davin Rosborough, to discuss the case, the judge assigned, and the other series of cases filed by other groups and how they all fit together to accomplish the same goal: tear down Trump's walls to undermine voting rights.

Popok reports on the Supreme Court setting into motion the complete reversal of the conviction of Steve Bannon, who was alleged to have helped Trump plot his staying in power after the 2020 election and blocking the peaceful transfer of power, and was convicted of contempt of congress.
