    Trump Spirals as His Desperation Sets In

    Sometimes Trump comes in through the front door to steal votes, by scaring people out of voting, undermining the legitimacy of voting, or screwing with methods of voting like mail in.  But sometimes he does it under cover of night, through the back door, by slowing down the creation of new voting Americans by tampering with the Naturalization process, slowing down passports being issued with legal names; and using the Post Office to slow down mail in ballots.  Popok is joined by legal expert Kristy Figueroa Contreras to brief our audience on how this can be stopped before the midterms, as the Democrats focus on expanding voting and the Republicans, scared of voting, want to slow it down.

    Trump & DeSantis Exposed Trading $150,000,000 Library Land for AG Position?!?

    Popok examines the $150 million dollar 3 acre waterfront land that Ron DeSantis the Governor of Florida gave to Trump for free to build his 50 Story Residential and Commercial Condo project in Miami that will also have a few floors devoted to a "Presidential Library".  Assuming there are no real coincidences in DC, is there a link between Pam Bondi's firing as Attorney General and within hours Trump sending out footage of his Golden monstrosity on what was once Florida public land?

    Trump Secret Hospital Bunker Revealed as Health Concerns Grow?!?

    In breaking news, the Trump Administration just revealed in a new Emergency filing with the DC Federal Appeals Court, that Trump is building under the golden Balllroom  "Top Secret Military installations" including a secret "hospital and medical area" for Trump, which will certainly eliminate the prying eyes of the press and public for when he needs medical attention for his failing physical health and mental decline.  Popok considers that this is the real reason behind the Ballroom, to cover up for the need for a hospital to treat Trump without anyone knowing.

    Supreme Court Retirements Incoming?!?!

    Oftentimes cold political calculus bleeds into and influences our legal institutions. Popok takes a hard look at whether Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito will give a gift to Trump and retire this summer to give Trump his 4th SCOTUS pick, and how politics is playing out for Trump's Attorney General replacement pick now that Senator Thom Tillis has made it be known that he will block any Election Deniers from the role.

    Bondi Thrown to the Wolves on Epstein Subpoena?!?!

    One of the leaders in Congress to remove Attorney General Pam Bondi, is Rep. Summer Lee (D-12), who filed Articles of Impeachment against her just 3 weeks ago, that no doubt contributed to her being fired by Trump.  But if Trump thinks that means Pam Bondi won't have to testify about the Epstein files bungling and mistreatment of victims ever again, he's got another thing coming, says Rep.
