Legal AF’s Michael Popok delivers an urgent real-time live briefing on this week’s breaking legal and political developments in the “Trump Openly Defying Federal Judges” edition. Popok covers the unprecedented rebuke of Donald Trump by Chief Justice John Roberts following Trump’s public attack on a federal judge and call for his impeachment. He also breaks down Chief Judge Boasberg’s contempt proceedings over Trump’s misuse of War Powers and the Alien Enemies Act to deport undocumented individuals to supermax prisons abroad. Additional updates include a San Francisco judge’s order finding Trump violated an injunction by failing to rehire tens of thousands of probationary workers, a Maryland judge ruling that Trump unconstitutionally dismantled USAID operations, a separate order reinstating DOGE leadership under Musk, Trump’s illegal firing of Democratic FTC commissioners, and a court finding that Trump violated the Constitution by retaliating against a law firm representing clients opposing him. And that’s just the beginning.

I’m so tired of there being no consequences. Never does this man face any fucking consequences. Could you imagine if this was Joe Biden doing these things?!
I know right! It’s beyond infuriating. I posted essentially the same comment about imagining if it were Biden or Kamala doing this and the sheer fury that’d come from the Republicans Couldn’t agree more, Allison.
That’s exactly how I feel. Never any consequences for this piece of shit felon and his inhumane quisling lemmings. What’s gonna happen to him? Nothing. Gotta cut the head off the snake.
It is reassuring to read comments I could have written word for word. WE ARE NOT ALONE!
...and that is a priceless thing to know and NOT forget.
They would be standing on their heads and shitting nickels!
or President Obama
That’s what always happens with sociopaths. They are slippery slime bags.
They need to have real consequences,
It was only a matter of time before Trump defied the judiciary. And Roberts took his time, but I suppose it’s better late than never.
I often imagine how Republicans would be acting if this were Biden or Kamala doing a tenth of what Trump is doing. I can only imagine the furore they’d cause, especially if he was contravening a court’s ruling.
It would never happen. Only Trump and his huge ego believes the people "behind the curtain". Every other person is smarter than that. I wonder what's next
They would presumably start another insurrection…
That is what I thought until...I heard this comment. CJ Roberts said NOTHING about his blatant refusal to follow the orders of the judges!
Trump has something over everyone. Remember he only bullies or screws for loyalty.
If the judicary cannot bring themselves to do what they are paid to do let the civilians arrest these bodies and put them on a one way tickets to Guantanamo Bay or immediately put them under house arrest in Greenland or one way tickets to Moscow
Is it possible for SCOTUS to revisit the Presidential immunity policy it established? It seems to be backfiring all over the place with the Cheeto.
I think if a lawsuit about something related and the reg lawyers appeal all the way to the SCOTUS they could rule which would over rule- like SCOTUS ruled abortion is a legal right and then a new lawsuit about 50 years later went all the way to SCOTUS and they ruled to nullify legal abortion. So I would think someone or organization could sue Trump et al and have SCOTUS over rule the immunity decision
How about a "go fund me" class action lawsuit, to include all of us????? Since our elected leadership is all talk and no immediate action, and the military is following and obeying the "commander in grief", and out of control tech bros are stealing our privacy, and mainstream media networks and publications are lame appeasers in the name of "fair and balanced" reporting, let's figure this out for ourselves. Keep thinking, everyone!
Civil arrest and one way tickets to Moscow
The tyrant must fall
"Sic semper Tyrannis"
Will he fall by the law acting of by another Brutus?
If the Supreme Court is our last bastion of defense, we should focus on contacting them en masse. There's over 300 million of us vs a .01% oligarchy, right? If that doesn't prove effective, what other entity can save us?
This is Justice John Roberts' fault. He allowed SCOTUS to rule the president can act in an illegal manner.
should have been punished for Jan6th Insurrection
Yes!
Melanie
Winner! Winner!
Chicken Dinner!
The new revolution is calling, America! Time to rise up, we are the Calvary
We are Golgotha?? Or do you mean the 7th Cavalry?
The Supreme Court is responsible for what is taking place right now.
Stay true to the best of your ability dear Mr Popok 😉
Why isn’t he being arrested ?!?
Because no one in authority is willing to "bell the kat"
Plus SCOTUS gave him a free pass. Or most of SCOTUS
This insanity can’t go on for four more years without total destruction of america.
First, who is going to arrest him?
Anyone as a Civil Arrest by dark of night, whisk them away in Epstein's plane and land in Moscow, signed, sealed and delivered!
I really don’t know all I know is we won’t survive four years of this and i’m sorry to say i don’t believe the judges will be able to block his insanity for very long.
Thanks Michael!!! Keep up the good work America needs you. 👍👍👍
Glad to hear the judiciary has some resistance
This guy is a disgrace and needs to get bitch slapped into reality. The problem is, no one seems to want to do the slapping. We say you are violating the law and he gives us back a full Bronx cheer. No consequences. No one including himself knows what reality they are in after trying to keep up with so many lies and blatant disregard for the law. They keep setting a line, then moving it. We have to stand our ground and not be afraid to threaten the President with article 25. He is not a sane person. Should be house arrested by the courts for blatant disregard of the people he has sworn to represent. He thinks he’s a king that can’t be prosecuted for anything by saying it’s a national emergency. I’m glad Chief justice Roberts finally said something.
The only National emergency is him being President. Article 25 is a must when democracy take back the house.
I wish it was that simple :his cabinet has to agree to use 25th amendment. Do you really think any of those grifting nut jobs would agree to do that? Heck no it would be like killing their golden goose
Interesting Article 25 vs project 25.
Call Will Smith, he'll do it.
Yes, he did say something, but he left out the most important part. How come he is not following the judges rulings?
Yes, but he could have said more.
He is pushing to see what he can get away with one day he is going to push too far and severe consequences are going to happen
If only.
Hopefully that day is now before he does more damage. Defying a judge is a big move, a straight-up declaration of war against our government, our system of checks & balances. It's not just sneaking around & acting as if he's king, this is a bold statement that he is, that everyone is subject to him. I hope it is made crystal clear that he is not.
Wouldn't it be such a relief if the judge was rounding up the court officers now to act as security team, getting ready to arrest traitor trump and his regime. Then he throws them all in prison forever!!
He could do that- it seems a Fed Judge has the ability to deputize anyone to be their security and/or give those deputized people to initiate arrests. No going through the FBI SS or Marshalls- they can even ask Governors to give them their state's National Guard. So some hope on that front.
Until SCOTUS recinds and removes Donnie's immunity, how can he be stopped?
He can’t, but others without immunity can be found in contempt of court.
Pinky
He literally CANNOT be stopped.
The Supreme Court crowned him a king.
Trump can be stopped by the American people - same way America ousted the first king and South Korea just booted their dictator wannabe.
SHOW UP IN NUMBERS TOO BIG TO IGNORE..FIND YOUR 1776 SPINES AMERICA !!
So much losing for Trump! The Judges are winning, We the People are winning and pushing back!
Get the filth out of our White House by whatever means necessary!
that prison looks like a death sentence ...OMG this is bad, might as well push them out a 6th floor window putin stile ....we are not these people!!!! this chump ass clown MUST be stopped !!!!
dehumanizing is the point -- so Americans think this is a "good" thing...cleansing... sound familiar?
Exactly and divide and conquer. "They are illegals! They are gang members!" It's always lie after lie and no one to hear the victims now that they own the media as well
The judges need to do what they did. Pick off his lawyers disbarred them then arrest Musk, arrest his techno boys, arrest Vance and put them in a jail. Sentence Trump to a life sentence revoking his immunity due to breaking his oath to the constitution and the American People
Resume ALL his criminal cases while he sits in jail. If he prefers to go to Moscow or frontline if Ukraine fine.
I'm telling myself the video was ginned up theatrics, red meat for the Maga sick fuks, but we can be sure a forced labor concentration camp in an unregulated country is no country club. And, NO, we are not these people. This isn't paying any debt to society, it's unjust, it's degradation. We have to find a way to stop this sick, cruel clown & the posse he rode in on.
The Supreme Court started all this shit with this immunity for Donald Trump. They need to reverse all of that and start punishing him for his freaking crimes.
I'm so done! We can talk about what the "right thing" is all day long! Trump and Musk will keep doing what they are doing! Because apparently they are above the law. How much longer can we let them do this shit!?
They think they are above the law.
So, what can we do about this? Can't Kristi Noem and Steven Miller be held in contempt and be arrested?
Stephen Miller is a true Nazi. People who knew him in high school (Santa Monica High) say he was an out and out racist even them. He would have nothing to do with brown students. There is something very wrong with him. He is Trump's "Heinrich Himmler." Racism is all he really cares about.
How can Homan say hes not following the courts without consequence.
Maybe we are getting somewhere. I’m praying
That won’t be enough.
A girl could dream lol
I’m a retiree and living on a fixed income. I would pay $50 a year for your wonderful news but cannot afford $100.
I just can’t afford all the subscriptions, but, I have 1 and have all the others free. That’s all I can afford.
You need to replace using administration with regime.
Delay, distort, demote, detonate. Seems to be the refrain of this corrupt take-over of the country.
The point needs to be made to these idiots that it's not a judge doing it, it's the law doing it. Judges are merely enforcing the law. Obviously, this regime doesn't care about laws. But they're finding out. And I hope the Supreme Court realizes that if they don't stop this, they will become superfluous because the only law of the land will be what the orange idiot says it will be.
MAGA is a LAWLESS ORGANIZATION .. Full Stop. Worse yet, the Republican AND Democrats (inc. those id'd as "Indies") choosing to support MAGA through silence or assent, are themselves LAWLESS COLABORATORS. Anyone who knows the bleak history of Post WWII Europe should be aware of EXACTLY what befell those Nazi COLABORATORS; systematic extra judicial & summary EXICUTIONS. Not pretty but INSTANT KARMA for those COWARDS & OPPORTUNISTS! Collaboratives mistakenly rationalize by defining themselves; as PASSIVE fence-sitters. NO ... there in NOT a NUETRAL position here. The best those individuals can hope for is imprisonment.
The only way evil can flourish is for good men to do nothing. Dems are doing nothing!!
Thank you for an informative vid. Impeach Trump! Send Elon to Mars! Put Vance in a basement with a bowl of water 😄
If he’s impeached he can be held accountable. The only real way to effectively deal with him is to pressure the republicans into impeaching him.
I don't think they'll lead their golden goose to the slaughter. There's too much money to be made.
The judge could jail the lawyers before him for contempt of court. The fact that they were acting under orders would not save them, because Trump CAN commit crimes with impunity. They know that. So that, if they act illegally on his direction, they must pay the price.
A real lawyer would not take the case.
Then what are we waiting for, arrest the dumb shit lawyers, make their life hell and arrest.
The Roman Senate had an answer for all of this.
So did the French during the French Revolution. Remember also what the people did to Mussolini.
Why hasn’t the judge not arrest the homeland security man
What are the next steps? If the Trump Administration defies the court, what are the consequences?
He's already ignored two other orders and the judge keeps extending the time frame
Throw throw those lawyers in jail…
I wonder what it would take for Chief Justice John Roberts to consider reversing the (overly) broad immunity opinion from last summer?
Thank goodness for the ACLU.
Trump totally loves sending those people to that hell of a prison. And, it's really hell.
But, he's a psychopath. He operates with no conscience. Not my opinion, but a reality that we're paying for as a country.
What do we expect from an insurrectionist, a traitor, not to mention his felonies and other crimes.
These recent videos trigger memories of Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq on December 12, 2003 and Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba. Scary and horrifying. Are we losing our minds, as well as our beloved democracy? Even if those people rounded up last weekend are vicious criminals, do we act in kind, without due process of law and order and basic human decency?
He's a malignant narcissist who derives pleasure from the pain of others and power from his awful actions
It's worse than narcissism. He's a psychopath.
Trump needs to brought into being accountable for his actions .. Supreme Court ruling or not ..
As usual Popok does good work and graciously informs people that are interested in the rule of law.
Amendment 25 NOW?
Not above the law. If my neighbor gets arrested and jailed for acceeding speed limit by 9 mph, then I want justice ⚖️.
That's exactly it, most of us live our whole lives making sure we aren't breaking any laws, doing the right thing over & above, & sometimes go through hell through no real fault of our own by being in the wrong place at the wrong time- we demand justice!
Your commentary is invaluable. I would be so lost and hopeless without Meidas touch and their legal analysis. Thank you.
I second that. There's no way to understand what's going on without the detailed explanation of history & how law & government work. I am really glad for all the work that goes into that for us too!
Trump already has the Legislature under his belt. He is going after the federal courts - the third rail in a constitutional democratic government - and completely take over the three branches of government
If these are illegal, who is enforcing them? No one seems to be enforcing the judges’ rulings, so who is stepping forward with guns and badges to enforce the EO’s? Shouldn’t THEY be arrested?
Can we use that 1793 act on Trump? He’s a threat to our democracy.
Absolutely he's a threat to the democratic nations of the world and a domestic terrorist
So the Supreme Court is gonna save this judge’s job thank goodness. But all these other people gotta lose their job jobs?
Please talk about what happens as he defies court orders.
Get rid of the alien immigrant South African Draft Dodger Elon Musk
ALL HANDS ON DECK
the Nazis(aka Republicans) will be trying to push through the SAVE act which is estimated to try to disenfranchise 31m voters every year
The SAVE ACT((https://bit.ly/42cHgDE) will require people who are asked to register or re-register to vote (31m do that every year….for various reasons: change address/change county, change name with marriage) will have to prove they are citizens in order to vote
This can be done in 2 ways: 1) proof of birth either by original birth certificate(who has that?) or 2 passport (12% have passports and are usually white and wealthy) What about women who have different last names now? Try to register if you do not have your original birth certificate because marriage licenses, military ID’s etc will not count This is why the Trump regime tried to do away with birthright citizenship
Will you be purged???
The result of the SAVE ACT: Massive drain of the voter rolls
Call your congressperson to vote against the SAVE ACT (202) 224 3121
Absolutely millions of votes were lost last election. So many that they did a documentary about it - Vigilante Inc. really worth watching with surprising content. Very eye opening
I call him Felonious the First!! 🤣
Thank you Popok for keeping those of us who are interested in the rule of law informed.
With some luck maybe they will oust him!
Will the military actually do Trump's bidding if he defies all court rulings, especially after he has called them derogatory names and treated the veterans with such a lack of respect and compassion?
Thank you for naming the mostly unannounced but truly evil person, Mr. Miller
Call it the "Trump Regime" as per Anat (messaging guru)
Have got to believe this will be stopped in the courts. Not sure I am ready to take to the barricades in my 9nth decade as an American.
You give us hope
Isn’t that what happens when you’re in comptemt
Thanks for the great info
I hear Tesla is on fire ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
The faulty court system is all about $ money and politics! Innocent people have suffered while criminals go free! Most judges are abusive.
Keep on drinking that tainted kool-aid Theresa….
Any one of us would go to jail for a long time if we common a small fraction of what he has done. What’s justice?
Can you stop calling it a constitutional crisis? That term sounds way too sterile and fluffy. It's a coup d'état. SAY IT OUT LOUD!
A corrupt SCOTUS brought all this 🏴☠️ chaos/confusion on America allowing a felon/terrorist leader to be on a ballot for ANY government job!
Thank you so much. Your podcast is extremely helpful for me (Canadian) to understand your laws and the different options available to fight this criminal who is now sitting in your White House.
#EllbowsUp🇨🇦
I am Canadian so please excuse my lack of knowledge of your legal and political systems but please tell me why Trump himself cannot be impeached.
He can be impeached. But the House of Representative ( republican majority, has to impeach him which will not happen. If by some miracle, he was impeached, then he is tried by the senate- again, a republican majority. He was acquitted twice before by the senate. It will just not happen.
Trump is the republicans golden goose. He's the money man who pays them off and makes them all rich. The most corrupt govt in history
Talk about undescended…
Thank you for speaking up where I can hear you-I’m sicker than a dog with pneumonia and listening to you is my greatest strength joy right now!!!
Have you ever had a shocking experience with a bad judge? It is very hard to oust, remove or impeach a judge and they all think they are immune to whatever bad decisions they make. We need to be able to fire, remove, impeach, hold accountable bad judges! Look at how they refuse to hear valid cases, then hear false created charges against innocent people? Look at how vicious, cruel, harsh judges persecuted innocent people for peaceful protesting, voicing their opinions, praying at or near an abortion clinic, whistleblowing election fraud.
Yeah, I actually have had an unfair judgment made against me & you are full of shit. If there is a problem in the system, you address that, you don't trash the entire judicial system, so get off it.
I heard yesterday. He also paid the Venezuelan government 6 million or 6 billion to retain these captives.?
No El Salvador.... which is worse
Thank you I stand corrected
Not very efficient
When is trump mental illness going to be dealt with its not going away. He surrounds himself people that are as bad as he is. Insanity is ruining American government and people.
What's the chance of the SCOTUS overturning the President's immunity?
Thank you for this truly enlightening podcast. With nothing to listen to
but the speaker, it is so refreshing to have nothing pulling attention elsewhere.
Treason over and over. “We the people” need to make citizen arrest for treason. Trump and his treasonous regime must be stopped. Those in office need to stop him. They took an oath of office if they don’t stop him they’re part of the problem.
Nice job, Michael. Do you think that Chief Justice Roberts might be having a touch of buyer's regret?? Schadenfreude comes to Roberts -- my black heart is laughing.
To be shocked into the dangerousness of Trump, read/listen to Dr. Bandy X Lee. She's beyond expert in his pathology and how it's a pathology of destructive ideologies.
The more dangerous case of Donald Trump can be found on substack.
Great show. Lots of insight Thanks!
Ron Desantis states congress could strip fedarl judges of jurisdiction.
He also added attach it to a must pass bill... What can we do with this complicit Republican house and senate..
This would mean Absolute power.
Looks like the law enforcement is compromised. I hope some good cops or maybe ex-military will stand with the judges. Arrest his ass.
Appreciate you!
Tom Homan is a goon. Even looks and talks like a goon.
Did any of those workers that were fired for “performance issues” that weren’t true commit suicide before they were re-hired back?
Popok love your reporting thank you always
Wasn't there a "Behind the Scenes" plan for Theil and others to colonize El Salvador? Now they will have people they can tell what to do and when...
Maybe it’s a start. Not holding my breath
Who are these legal scholars coming up with this stuff? Pam bondi? Maybe we should make her famous!
You have the Supreme court to thank for all this; had they got trump out using section 3 of the 14th Amendment none of this would be happening.
Your commentaries always lift me up a bit. Thank you!
I also want to know the cost for all of the legal cases on the backs of the American people. The DOJ is being sued and they are defending Trump. Where’s the money ticker on this bs?
Two weeks ago this came up inside the Wednesday program. Karen wondered about this query
Can one of the mighty legal AF people track this and expose the money that is being spent on legal action?
Also, 10.1 million to allow Trump to golf??? Wtf?
He has 250+ lawsuits against him already. He has to be the most expensive president in history. We're paying for him to live his luxury lifestyle and destroy USA
My question is: Is there nothing ANYONE can do? He's clearly unfit to run this country. He didn't just come in swinging with a bat , but with a chainsaw and machete.
“The planes were over the Gulf of America, still in US territory so the judge had jurisdiction over the issue and over the flight of those planes.” 😂 If it’s the gulf of America good for magats, its good for the judges.” 💜
Let's send trump, in his own airplane, to join his friends at the prison in El Salvador
Excellent update and you are the first person to talk about the court able to take action with deputized people !!!
trump now wants all of UKRAINES power plants.
So when are there going to be consequences? Thankyou Popok. NOW WHAT?
I'm so grateful to you Michael, and the Medias Mighty. If it wasn't for y'all I'd be in a rubber room by now.
The big question is what comes next if Trump continues to defy judges orders up to and including the Supreme Court? Can the military step in and remove him?
Can anyone please explain to me why tRump hasn’t been impeached yet and Musk put behind bars?
He owns the govt and has paid everyone off. He's fired everyone with expertise and integrity and filled the govt with his idiotic loyalists and sycophants. These federal judges are the only line between democracy and full blown autocracy
If they're keeping people on the payroll then they're spending money. Taxpayer money. How is that getting rid of wasteful spending? At the same time, the evident objective of paid administrative leave here is to keep these people from doing their jobs, not cutting staffing for any practical purposes, which is Trump and DOGE's alleged purpose. People aren't working when they could be. Given the court's order, there's no reason not to have them back on the job. Removing them for no evident reason is Trump and DOGE's real aim. That's false purposes. How is that getting rid of fraudulent behavior in government? DOGE is totally BS.
You just made my day!
Pushback is the word of day.
Long Live Pushback !
Thank you for this great explanation! My head is spinning.
I try valiantly to keep my spirits up and day after day there are more violations of the constitution, more republicans cowering with their tails between their legs, more cabinet members destroying the positions they're in charge of and it simply exhausts me. The entire party is useless except to support his violations against We the People. We need to storm the cities and end up on the White House lawn. He needs to be dragged out in handcuffs for the greater good.
How is Congress allowing 45/47 to ruin the American Government?? 45/47 is breaking laws each day , violating the Constitution and all we hear is talk,talk,talk, IMPEACH 45/47 and deport Elon Musk.
That would be interesting trying to get to DC police to do something for them
The secret police
This is exactly what I expected from this administration.
What will it take to get rid of Trump now that Trump openly flaunted he's not going to follow any court orders. He broke the law and the US Constitution he swore to uphold? Trump needs to be removed from office by any means necessary.
How has this guy not been impeached yet? Oh that's right, GOP is now a criminal organization and the Supreme Court wants a King, so there are no consequences any more
SCOTUS made him above the law. Free to be a king and create an anarchy,,,
Nice! 💙💙💙💙💙
What happens when U.S. Marshals and Military confront Trump/Musk’s unidentified private goons?
Wonderful briefing, Popok. Thank you. Could you please date stamp your briefings? We need to know what you mean when you say “today”.
Send them to El Salvador. No local jails!
why haven’t the lawyers been held in contempt and put in jail.
Marchan should have thrown Drumpf into prison for contempt when he had the chance.
Trump is the BIGGEST enemy of the state and a traitor to boot.
I can't help but think that person in 47's ear is Russell Vought getting everything from Project 2025 done in record time. The Heritage Foundation group point their useful idiot in a direction and he goes forth. Trump's got money coming in to his personal coffers via his crypto from who knows who and will do whatever as long as he feels like el heffe. He's out golfing and making billions and all he has to do is whatever Russell wants.
WOWWWW!!!! Mr. Popok---- I feel so much better after listening to you today!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Keep up the Great work of explaining to the rest of us.
Why are these judges so surprised that Trump is defying them, when the Supreme Court gave him immunity to do whatever he wanted? It never occurred to them that Trump would go after them, eventually? Judges have been dragging their feet since Trump’s first “presidency” and they let him get away with treason and terrifying all those people on January 6th and did NOTHING about it? And kept putting off all his conviction hearings? They just patted him and said, “Oh, it’s ok. We’ll let you do whatever you want, you sweet man, because you will help line our pockets”. But now that Trump is pooping in their mess kit they are getting a little testy, aren’t they?——“Oh, no—don’t defy me! How dare you?” they say! I DO hope the judges will get him and start following the laws they are supposed to know so much about and fight him like hell. But, this is all their fault, as far as I am concerned. They didn’t protect us from this monster and all his idiotic, uneducated minions. They are supposed to be the gate keepers, to keep people in line, and they left the gate wide open for a narcissist, egotistical crazy man to do whatever he wants.
In respect for the presidency, may I suggest that our citizenry take the time to learn the seven stages of dementia. I'm caregiving a loved one with Alzheimer's diagnosis and know the signs intimately. So, having had to learn how to live with dementia symptoms and behaviors, I advise googling dementia caregiving, in order to figure out how to deal with this national tragedy. I would suggest that our current leaders be guided towards "Make love, not war". They're grabbing our private parts and we seem to be in denial and in shock over what's clearly just happened to us. Who would have ever imagined that our own administration would/could declare World War III on us, "the people"???
Thank you so much for your experience and the talk about what could happen. It always makes me feel better. I thank God for the DOJ. They have been wonderful.
Our own President is a Rapist and a criminal!!! He has to go!! Maybe him and his whole administration needs to be deported to El Salvador!!!
You just can't make this stuff up. And they run the show???? WTF???
Mr. Popok it is always a please listening to you keeping us all abreast of the happenings with the WH escapades and the judiciary among other things. Wish things were different and maybe they will be down the road but certainly can't happen fast enough. Thank you for all the information you impart.
He doesn't follow the law
Thank you, good show
Why is he not arrested yet 🤦♀️
I really appreciate these videos and getting informed! I keep hoping and looking for good news for the American people.
They couldn't turn those planes around. They had big plans! They had a propaganda video to make!
I've seen many comments on social media criticizing Justice Roberts, saying HE was responsible for putting us in the current situation and his comment was "too little too late". I don't see it that way. His comment gave me a miniscule glimmer of hope that the judiciary will hold the line and stop Trump from trampling the Constitution. It doesn't look like the Dems (or certainly the Republicans) are going to do anything about it.
Dems and reps don't care bc they'll be fine either way. They're rich and don't want to pay more in tax. None of them are working for the people. None of them care about the struggle of working class Americans.
Why can’t the American Bar Association go after Pam Bondi’s license to practice law?
Thank you!!
Watch: "This Maga Rep Called Us "Deranged"... Now He's In Jail", on YouTube. (Tennessee Brando)......
https://youtu.be/qtW_fYcEQ5U?si=nL84dB-G306Ni88I
Well, if this doesn't get him in jail I don't know what will. This is disgusting. I suppose We the People need to seriously come up with plans.
I got notification that there is a $3 million bounty on Trump's head. And now Musk is going ahead and gutting Social Security. Well, Musk, you pissed off the wrong Grandma.
Thank you for so.much accurate information. You have answered so many of my questions.
Love these. Thank you for laying out this reality shit show.
Why aren't they now being held in contempt?
SCOTUS is no longer a trusted institution! The blame is on Robert’s for not holding the institution accountable to the people! The laws they pass should protect everyone not millionaires! We are the opposition! Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏🏻☮️
Send to El Salvador,
Thank you, Michael. Top tier...!!
Barbara Epperson, PhD.
Thank you!
Let's talk hockey since Trump and putin were discussing the 2 countries playing hockey!!!
Thank you
Love, love this show and you!!!
Thank you!!!!!
War??? What war??? Only Congress can declare war....
Oh, thank you, thank you!!! Finally some reasonableness and hope that this corrupt and crazy administration can be stopped.
Yes!!!!
Good reporting! Thank you!
🙋🏼♀️💙💪🏻
DEPUTIZE!!!!
I just read on NPR that trump lifted bounties on senior Talian officials. Hmmm! Is he getting so crazy!
I really think trump is falling further into dementia. He is being violent and willful. He has
gotten alzheimer's like his father.
Kudos to our "appointed" Judges standing up to Trump. The Republicans who were voted in, need to take lessons from our judicial laws!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Michael Popok 😍
I feel much better now 🙏
Will you take up a class action lawsuit against trump and his administration when us seniors start dying because they dismantle Social Security and we can't afford food and have to start sleepy in our cars or on the street? I can tell you that's what will happen to me if my Social Security checks stop.
trump is as useful idiot.
I’m weary of the defiance. Disbar Bondi, impeach or face millions knocking on congress’s doors and the White House doors and literally dragging them out. This is where we’re at. Congress won’t do their job? Then the People will be forced to.
I love Her Honor Beryl Howell🫶
Poopin' PINO mobster just did it again! He got Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, LLP law firm to cave and give pro bono representation up to $40 million. I'm embarrassed for them. Regarding this briefing... no American should be led to believe that the US Marshall's office will take this Tasmanian Devil to prison. Can't impeach - no votes. Can't invoke Article 25 - no votes. All we-the-people can do is show up to town halls and create havoc for the GOP representatives and make sure our voices are heard. The Meidas Touch Network is doing an outstanding job keeping us informed. I pray the ignorant Devil voters listen and get educated for the next go around of elections 2026.
Thank you, thank you for bringing us the understanding and truthful information about the horror of the Trump reign.
Not so sure it's a rebuke more like a bring it before me, and we'll see what I can do.
Know what? AOC, and Bernie"I Think I Have An Erection" Should be put in mothballs... This is insane and is like a county fair rock and roll show... All these two do is reinforce what the Democrats want to hear,,,,,,and alienate the Republicans, who need to change their vote
This coverage of DOE protest thru eyes of a 12-year-old child tears me apart:

LOVE YOU POPOK!!!
The best way to deal with an illegal bully is to ignore him. Anyone who receives communication from Trump or Doge should just respond “ya, ya. Come back when you have something legal to tell me.”
How to stop him! He loses and loses, but there does not seem to be any consequences! There are so many court orders and stays, but do they not have to follow up on TRO's to finalize an order? And what then? What type of case needs to be filled that gets to SCOTUS to stop this entire mess?!? Congress won't stop him! They're not doing their jobs! They should stop this and do it right! Provide stats of personnel not doing their jobs for them to have the heads of the Depts. legally fire people. #MAGA wanted this? Don't think so, even they want him to work on domestic policies that will help USA citizens! They should be out there more fighting for themselves against #smellemittedfromskunkanalglands and #POTUS's moves that bare no semblance of helping their voters! Housing, groceries, jobs, 401ks, wastes-real waste. How much are all these court cases costing us?
Love you. You gave me a big ol ray of sunshine and hope today with sharing how the criminals WILL be arrested. How our judges can deputize.
How in the hell are they allowed to get away with this??? What are their consequences???
When will they be stopped???
EXACTLY. The shit show is out of control✌️💙🇺🇸
What about closing the department of education
So per SCOTUS Trumpy is immune for prosecution while fulfilling or carrying out the official duties of and as the president of the United States. BUT breaking laws, as opposed to faithfully fulfilling and supporting the laws, of the United States falls well outside the official duties of the Presidential office and for which we should be able to prosecute him, YES? SAY YES PLEASE!!!
Thank you, Popok! You're great!
While it is a good thing that Chief Justice Roberts said that it is necessary to appeal a decision, not call for impeachment. However, this can also be read to mean: "get these appeals going, and we (The Supremes) will take care of you and overrule the district courts and lower appellate courts." It was a freaking message to the Orange Orangutan. My other concern is even if the Supremes uphold the district courts, how are they going to enforce it?
Maybe they ought to start arresting those carrying out the orders and stop focusing on 🍊 since he knows he can’t be charged. We’ve proven that if they spend some time in jail, with other criminals, they’re less likely to continue to follow the orders of those whose influence helped land them there in the first place.
A court order is a court order.
I truly hope that Justice Roberts is serious about following the constitution and following the law of the US. Because if he does not push back. Felon 47 will steal so much power that the Supreme Court will be null and void. There will be no need for a Supreme Court. Time for the judges to find another job.
👍
I so hope you are right about the governors being able to raise troops if need be. I believe Trump will stop at nothing to grab power in this country. And after reading about his latest phone conversation with Putin, I firmly believe that he will divide Ukraine with Putin and then go after Europe in partnership with Russia. He is so driven by power, money and anger that I think he dreams of ruling the world. Will the Supreme Court hold firm? I have faith in the women, no faith in Alito or Thomas, trust Roberts will do the right thing in the end, don’t know about the other 2 men. Men like war 🤨.
The orange blob of hate, needs to be impeached and removed in handcuffs. Also, stop calling IT the P word, that is a title that is deserving of someone who deserves it
When do we find out what the penalties are for all of the contempt of court and illegal proceedings? Because he OWNS the DOJ is anything going to happen?
Authorities in Turkey have arrested dozens of people for "provocative" social media posts after the mayor of Istanbul Ekrem Imamoglu was detained on Wednesday.
Imamoglu was one of more than 100 people held on charges including corruption and aiding terrorist groups - a move that has sparked protests in Istanbul and the capital Ankara.
Now tell me,,,, how is thi.s different than what is going on now in America. Professor of Medicine in Brown University, professor at Columbia...,woman is Milwaukee..deported to Lebanon.. This is very, scary shit, and 89 million of you assoles sat on ass thinking"nah" that will never happen... The person sitting next to you at FDA was given 12 minutes to clean out desk and leav e building... This shit is beyond McCarthysism because we should know better
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will fire more than 1,00 researchers, including chemists, biologists, and toxicologists, as part of the widespread “reduction of force” layoffs planned by the Trump Administration, according to documents reviewed by Democratic staff on the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology.
Back to lead in paint...mercuryh in fish and those old fashioned waffle irons... What a flaing douchebag
Meanwhile, the French are demanding the return of Lady Liberty.
Why don’t the judges sanction these lawyers that are giving them these lies and false presentations like what happened in the last Trump administration?
Popok live is so successful great tell us the trues by four years ago about Trump corrupt politicians
Truly Excellent stuff Michael!!
Watching from Queensland Australia. Stand strong everyone.
Yeah, Chief Justice Robert’s has his little “rebuke” to Trump. Well, he wouldn’t have had to shake his finger at Trump IF HE DIDN’T LET THIS FELON BE PRESIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. Duh!!!!
Send every member of this regime to el salvadore prison!
I still don't feel all that encouraged that Supreme court Justice Roberts will stand up to Trump just because of the rebuke. Although I do believe the SCOTUS' bottom line is to protect their own power, the reminder to use appeals rather than impeachment could just mean "we aren't going to condone impeaching judges because if first you come for the lower court judges..." and they don't want to open the door to extending that practice to to threatening impeaching them as a method of control. It could also mean "But if you appeal, remember it can reach us and you have friends here". I just caution not to take the rebuke as too much of a weather vane.
What is Delaware's bill SB21?? Can you speak on it, please?
Merrick Garland refused to prosecute the treasonous Republican members of Congress who aided the insurrectiomists and Ttump until it was too late. WHEN are they going to ARREST the Trump TRAITORS when they refuse to obey court orders?
Until our absurdly SPINELESS dysfunctional "justice" system does that, this is all dejavu - they will complete the installation of dictatorship in America.
How can anyone think the courts will fight the LAWLESS, VIOLENT FASCISTS?! These people are BARBARIANS, BULLIES and they will FORCE their way into absolute power.
The only way is for Americans to FIND THEIR 1776 SPINES and SHOW UP IN NUMBERS TOO BIG TO IGNORE!!
Words will never win against weapons.
Sociopaths like to open every door and see how far they can open it
if they get a lot of pushback they pull it back a little bit
but then later they just push the door open again and they keep the process going over and over and over until we quit paying attention and then they walk through the door and stomp all over us.
It’s Always like this with sociopaths they want to see how much you’re going to tolerate. they’re testing us.
That’s why everyone kept saying don’t obey in advance.
You have to fight every single door that he tries to open! Slam that door in his orange disgusting duck face. Slam it hard.
Keep the pressure on him keep calling him names. He hates it.
Excellent job! Very helpful thank you!
Thx Popok, what a delema!!!
I saw on YouTube today photos of 3 people sent to El Selvador concentration camp that are innocent citizens!!! Do you think there is ANY way of getting the people sent there back home??? One was a woman, which is breaking my heart!!!
I would dearly love to know what the incentive was for the immunity decision. Especially, because it weaponized the Trump regime against the whole judiciary, and as we saw, CJ Roberts so obviously recoiled during the joint session from the open, obvious, and inappropriate familiarity DJT displayed toward those who are supposed to be unreachable and untouchable professionally. So, is there a link there which precipitated the immunity decision? If so, what was the quid pro quo? Makes me wonder. 🤔🤔🤔
I have never learned so much so quickly by someone so clear, beautifully spoken, and educated. Add moral clarity and empathetic point of view. Thankful to be here.
I'm having so much trouble understanding how Trump and his goons do not follow Constitutional laws or obey court orders, but expects everyone else to obey and follow what he says. He is in violation of everything this country is supposed to stand for with his rude displays of disrespect and hypocrisy. We have nevee has a president so uncouth. He should never have had the chance to br put on a presidential ballot in the first place. There has got to be away to impeach him and his entire cabinet of idiots!
Thank The Founding Framers ! For A Constitution ! And Federal Judge's ! It's Time ! The Effect Is Finally Coming To The Cause !!? 🤔😯🙂😀 Trump The Human Stain !!
Let's send traitor trump, musk, vance and the whole regime to the El Salvadorian prison for life. Bring back the 250 Venezuelans for due process. I read they captured a 14 year old boy in this mess, who is not in a gang or committed any crimes. I'm sure the majority are innocent. ICE is acting as the Gestapo
I'm waiting on Karma for the trump child with his hit and hate lists. WTF ? Who does that ? Well,trump does it constantly when he's not threatening the Meidas Team.
Thank you, Michael! Great episode. Thank you for the detailing of the legal moves today!
Love having your annalise and break down of these cases, thank you
