    Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok join forces again on the top rated Legal AF podcast, and take on: (a) Harvard winning in court but may be considering settling with Tump sending a bad message to the rest of higher education; (b) how Governor Newsom can work around a bad decision by the 9th Circuit against States Rights and the Governor's control of his own state national guard; (c) a surprising decision by the generally conservative 5th Circuit about the 10 Commandments in public school; (d) the release of a green card holder political activist by a federal judge who also won't make him check in with ICE; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

  • ICE Insiders Blow the Whistle on Trump Disaster
    Jun 22 2025
    Insiders at ICE are coming out against the Trump Administration, reporting low morale and that they are being diverted away from going after criminal migrants for deportation, because Trump and Steven Miller have them focused instead on making 3,000 arrests a day. Michael Popok explains how even right-wing media is calling out Trump’s deranged policies, including that ICE is already $1 billion over budget, and they are making arrests in Home Depot and 7-11 parking lots instead of going after the really bad people.

  • Trump Shocked as Right-Wing Judge Shreds Him
    Jun 21 2025
    The Senior Status Federal Judges are striking back and hard against the Trump Administration, issuing some of the most scathing rebukes from the bench and in opinions from their perch as judicial historians as well. Add to this growing list, Judge Young of the Federal Court in Massachusetts, who of the 400+ cases pending against the Trump Administration, just tried the FIRST trial related to Trump’s cut of millions of dollars in grant money issued by the National Institute of Health to the Black, Brown and LGBTQ+ communities, and declared that the decision to cut funding is the most “blatant” and “palpably” racist act by a Government he has ever seen in 40 years. Michael Popok reports on the trial and Judge Young’s ruling and the role of the Senior Status Federal Judges to protect our democracy.
