California just outfoxed Trump, not only filing the new lawsuit to stop Trump's hostile take over of the State in its tracks in just the right court, but pulling just the right judge for the injunction hearing--the brother of former US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer who just came out of retirement to defend federal judges against Trump's attacks! You can't make this stuff up, and Popok provides his update.

The DC Bar just gave Pam Bondi and Trump the old 1 finger salute, rejecting in a landslide Bondi's brother's attempt to take over the DC Bar, to render it toothless to oppose Trump and Bondi during the rest of the term just at the moment that Bar Associations need to band together in resistance against our most lawless president. Popok looks at the meaning of the 90% vote tally for DIane Seltzer against 9 percent for Bradley Bondi, and the bar also rejecting another lawyer directly linked to Trump and election deniers, and why Bar Associations have not choice but to protect the rule of law in our democracy and not allow a Trump takeover.

Popok provides all the legal analysis, including Supreme Court precedent under the 10th Amendment, which will be the foundation of California's new suit against Trump to get the National Guard, Marines, and other federal officials OUT of California.

A phony indictment? A corrupt "extradition" order to El Salvador? A prosecutor who won't abide by corruption and resigns? All of this and so much more when Popok updates you on Armando Abrego Garcia's arraignment and developments in the Tennessee Federal criminal case, and explains why none of this gets the Trump Administration out of hot water with Judge Xinis in Maryland.

Trump, who once said about the BLM protests, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" as a chilling show of excessive force against protestors, has just declared about the protests in California, "when the spitting starts, the hitting starts" to blow a dog whistle to law enforcement and the National Guard to use brutality to crush dissent, right ouf of the fascist playbook. Popok calls out Trump's strategy of purposely picking a fight with California and Governor Newsom his political rival to make this about lawlessness v. law and order and discusses why protestors must refuse to take the bait.

The very fervent Q-Anon, MAGA conspiracy base that helped Trump win election, has now picked up torches and pitchforks against his key leadership of AG Pam Bondi and the FBI's leadership of Kash Patel and former bro-podcaster Dan Bongino, because they are not "proving" all of their conspiracy theories "fast enough" like Jeffrey Epstein being "murdered," Hunter Biden dropping off "coke" at the White House, the FBI planting pipe bombs against the Jan 6 insurrectionists, democrats leaking the 2023 abortion decision at the Supreme Court, and Biden being a "robot" who was replaced 2 years ago. Popok explains that since Trump can't "feed the beast," it threatens to attack his own Administration.

Trump has taken to network news to warn Musk not to support Democrats in the midterms or face “severe consequences.” What does this threat reveal about the bizarre workings of Donald Trump’s mind? And what will Musk’s inevitable rejection of the threat—and his decision to side with Democrats—mean for Trump’s court cases and legacy? Popok takes a hard look.

Drug use, shoving matches, fisticuffs, black eyes, and child sex abuse? A new HBO mini series? No, the Trump Administration starring Musk and Trump! Popok reports on the new reporting in their feud, which threatens Trump's legacy, why it should be a surprise, and outs a Trump insider's insider who is married to a Musk loyalist, as he examines what the fighting means in the courtrooms about DOGE.

The new filing by the Trump Administration with Judge Xinis overseeing the Abrego Garcia return and due process case, just made things worse for the DOJ and Trump, by informing the Judge that they returned Abrego Garcia 2 months late, as it basically admitted that they could have returned Abrego Garcia months ago if they wanted to. Popok explains how these new filings will be used against the Administration and does not solve the contempt problem, it only proves it!
