Legal AF by MeidasTouch

The Trump Administration’s illegal firings of the very government watchdogs meant to protect federal workers from partisan attacks, has suffered another loss in court, as a second federal judge in 48 hours grants summary judgment and orders the immediate reinstatement by Trump of the chair of the Merit Service Protection Board created by congress to protect federal workers from partisan attacks. Michael Popok discusses the last 2 cases and explains that they are now on a rocket ship tied at the hip to the US Supreme Court, as the Court must determine if it is going to reign in Trump’s out of control power grab.For up to 25 free meals, head to https://MarleySpoon.com/offer/LEGALAF and use code LEGALAFRemember to subscribe to ALL the MeidasTouch Network Podcasts:MeidasTouch: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/meidastouch-podcastLegal AF: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/legal-afMissTrial: https://meidasnews.com/tag/miss-trialThe PoliticsGirl Podcast: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-politicsgirl-podcastThe Influence Continuum: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-influence-continuum-with-dr-steven-hassanMea Culpa with Michael Cohen: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/mea-culpa-with-michael-cohenThe Weekend Show: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/the-weekend-showBurn the Boats: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/burn-the-boatsMajority 54: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/majority-54Political Beatdown: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/political-beatdownOn Democracy with FP Wellman: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/on-democracy-with-fpwellmanUncovered: https://www.meidastouch.com/tag/maga-uncoveredCoalition of the Sane: https://meidasnews.com/tag/coalition-of-the-sane Learn more about your ad choices.

In a “stunning” set back to the Trump Administration, in a 5-4 decision led by Chief Justice Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, the Supreme Court has ordered the release of $2 billion dollars in funds for humanitarian aid, as Justice Alito along with the rest of the court, issues a scathing dissent declaring that he is “stunned,” and criticizing the majority of the court and the federal judge who issued the order. Michael Popok explains what this means for future funding cases before the Supreme Court and how the televised pat on the back Trump gave Chief Justice Roberts may have backfired.Thanks to Miracle Made!

Hear that gurgling sound? That’s the sound of the Trump DOJ, outmanned, outgunned, and underfunded courtesy of Elon Musk, losing regularly under the strain of 95 cases in the first 35 days of the Administration. Michael Popok reports on the DOJ telling an unsympathetic federal judge that they just couldn’t get to his case because they don’t have enough staff and what that means for Plaintiff’s groups suing the Trump Administration at a record pace.Upgrade your sleep with Miracle Made!

The days of Musk and Trump playing fast and lose with the facts of what DOGE is and what it is doing may be coming to an end, as a federal judge has had enough with the “opaque” structure of DOGE and has ordered that 4 DOGE employees sit for depositions under oath to explain to the Court what it does and who is in charge at each agency. Michael Popok explains that this order won’t just help the labor union who brought this case but will be used by lawyers and judges in the other more than a dozen DOGE related cases to lock the Trump Administration to stop the lies.Save your smile and your bank account with Remi!

In breaking news, Chief Justice Roberts just entered the first order to help Trump, callously blocking a lower federal court order to require Trump and his Administration to pay billions in foreign aid by midnight last night to stop death and suffering around the world.

Trump is corruptly using his Federal Communications Commission not only to suppress Freedom of the Press and the First Amendment by opening dozens of investigations into corporate media like National Public Radio and PBS, but is using our taxpayer dollars and federal officers who swore an oath to the American People, to benefit Trump’s personal lawsuits against these same entities for billions of dollars.
