Trump DOJ attorneys are acting out in Federal Court, flouting orders, taking positions that are intellectually dishonest, and telling Federal Judges they won’t comply with their injunctions and orders.

A DC Federal Judge, finding that the Trump Administration has “attempted to manipulate the judicial process through false pretenses” has entered a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent Trump from cutting off grants and other funding to all non-for-profits, including those focused on children's health, poverty, and those he declares to be “woke,” in violation of the Constitution’s “appropriations” clause, the Administrative Procedures Act and the First Amendment. Michael Popok ties it together with the earlier injunction in Rhode Island and explains what happens next.For their buy 1 get 1 50% off deal, head to https://3DayBlinds.com/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 surprising turn, a newly appointed Republican official at USAID blocked Elon Musk and DOGE from entering, only to be promptly fired. This move reflects growing resistance within the Trump Administration. The discussion highlights the geopolitical ramifications of cutting USAID, which could benefit adversaries like China and Russia. Additionally, there's a deep dive into the potential economic impacts of ending US aid and skepticism about corruption claims surrounding the agency. The chaos signals a significant shift in political dynamics.

Trump and MAGA are against indoctrination of public school students,..unless it’s their brand of “patriotism” and “founding father” rhetoric. Michael Popok calls out Trump’s next Executive Order to eliminate a college theory on racism and the law and social structures (“critical race theory”) from being taught to Kindergarteners and middle school children—when it isn’t; in order to use that as an excuse to launch his incomplete and historically inaccurate “1776 Commission” again.Start your new morning ritual & get up to 43% OFF your @MUDWTR by going to https://mudwtr.com/LEGALAF #mudwtrpodRemember 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.
