Trump Crushed by Three Straight Losses in Federal Court
In the last 72 hours, the Trump Administration has lost in 3 separate federal court rooms, with each declaring Trump’s phony use of the Alien Enemies Act to be unlawful, all because Trump misread and misinterpreted a major Supreme Court decision last month that was a ticking time bomb against him, which is now being used by federal courts to slam the Administration. Michael Popok pieces all of the recent bad decisions for Trump together and explains why 3 major Supreme Court rulings against Trump in the last 45 days will be his undoing regarding his immigration and deportation policies.

Michael Popok looks carefully at Trump’s Executive Order and explains why this suit should be yet another loss for the Trump Administration.

Trump Guts Key Division as He Screws His Own Department
Trump as payback for his father and him being investigated by the civil rights division of the DOJ has moved to shutter the once proud crown jewel division that was responsible for enforcing the Fair Housing Act, Voting Rights Act, anti-discrimination and harassment laws, investigate and sue over hate crimes, including church and synagogue attacks. Now, under Trump, the division lost 70 percent of its lawyers and has now been reduced to going after transgender people, searching for nonexistent voter fraud, and white people discrimination. On this Law Day, celebrating the rule of law, Michael Popok reports on what’s happened and who is responsible.
