One day after Trump and his family increased their net worth by $5 Billion Dollars with the sale of a new crypto digital asset, on top of the $1.5 billion Trump bragged that he already made this year alone, the new job and manufacturing and tourism number are out and they are an indictment of the Trump Economy that the rest of us are experiencing.

In a stunning reversal of fortune, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, by a bipartisan 2-1 vote, just declared that Trump’s declaration of war against Venezuela to justify his removal of people without due process under the Alien Enemies Act was illegal, with a Trump judge “trying out” for the Supreme Court (Judge Oldham) in dissent. Michael Popok examines the case sent to the 5th by the Supreme Court in May, and the ruling within a...

Is Trump using AI photos and make up and starting wars to cover up for his failing health and mental state? Did we just attack Venezuela because Trump had a terrible 72 hour set of court losses? Why did a Federal Judge just observe that he is afraid that Trump could use the military to interfere with the presidential election?

Popok is at the Intersection to outline the war and the resistance and discusses Trump’s major losses this week in federal court; and how Trump follows the dictators playbook to attack his enemies on bad news days for him.

Trump’s full frontal assault on our nation’s financial system by taking steps to fire Lisa Cook from the Federal Reserve with flimsy allegations of “mortgage fraud” to gain majority control is in full display. We are on a fast track to the US Supreme Court to define whether unsubstantiated rumors of misconduct are enough to justify the required “for cause” firing of a Fed Reserve Governor who disagrees with Trump on monetary policy...

In breaking news, the Trump Administration has violated Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s civil liberties again, taken him into ICE custody in violation of Judge Xinis order, and his lawyers have been forced to file an Emergency new injunction suit with Judge Xinis to stop him from being deported to Uganda as retaliation for him not agreeing to plead guilty to crimes he likely did not commit. Michael Popok briefs our audience on this fast-mo...

Did the convicted child sex trafficker and abuser Ghislaine Maxwell earn her “Trump pardon” with her scripted lies about Trump and Epstein—lies in which she re-victimized the victims and denied any child sex abuse while giving Trump a pass? Will Trump try to defy yet another federal judge and ship Abrego Garcia off to Uganda early next week in violation of Judge Xinis’ orders—and what will she do to stop him? Why won’t Alina Habba ...

You will be hearing a lot about motions to dismiss indictments based on the Trump Administration and DOJ’s “vindictive prosecution” in violation of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the DOJ Manual. But the very FIRST such motion has been filed by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was illegally removed to El Salvador and tortured, and then had a phony indictment brought against him by Trump’s DOJ.

In breaking news, Trump is 0-3 trying to convince Federal Judges to bail him out and mislead the public into thinking the sealed, secret skimpy Epstein and Maxwell grand jury files are the “Epstein Files” as Judge Berman points the finger back at Trump and his own DOJ to release the files. Michael Popok looks at all 3 orders and how each judge made sure the victims were protected and heard from, before telling Trump to “release th...

Don’t believe the Headlines; Trump is not the victor in the appeal of his $463 million dollar civil fraud judgment, although the lower level appellate court is sending it to the highest court in NY to decide whether any money should be “disgorged” from Trump and his family and executives, or if the injunction against his fraudulent business practices is enough. Michael Popok, who has argued before this very same appeals court, bre...

Trump’s lust for the Nobel Peace Prize has even infected his failed negotiations with Putin over a proper peace which respects the Ukrainian people, as smart adversaries like Putin use Trump’s “Nobel” desires against him.
