My hats off to those of you leading the resistance. This Canadian thanks you.
And I thank the Canadians for standing up to the bully fascist!
All democracies the world wide need to stand against the Trump fascist regime. Stand strong for our American neighbours. We recognize you’re in a MAGA against Americans fight for democracy!
Standing up for our Democracy ..ie AGAINST THE TRUMP..is standing against Putin, Orban …ya know… that whole KKKabootle..
Great legal talk Popok…thanks
and Haidee too 🫶
Rachel is a scammer troll and has been reported. Selling supplements that don’t exist.
I'm sure they will take care of it once you report her to Meidas. I just reported her too.
Metoo
Unfortunately a new troll pops up everyday using a different name.
I thank all of the Canadians who understand that he's a criminal Fascist, doesn't share America's values and should never have been in the Oval office for ANY reason!
We're glad for your support. Most of us hate him, too. Keep the boycotts coming, Canada!!
We thank you back, Great Canada 🇨🇦🫱🏻🫲🏽
Haidee, Thank you for your support. The MAJORITY of us are embarrassed that trump was re-elected. We have certainly “made our bed….” With the help of our friends and neighbors, the idiotic MINORITY that voted for him, and the evil, UNpatriotic “others” who didn’t vote at all, will realize that FAFO is for real.
The Trump regime is perverse, profane, and pathetic.
AND (I'm led to beleive...) PISSY! (to extend the alliteration.....)
Go on ... just a LITTLE bit further ... 😹
Beautifully articulated on every point, Michael... brillant presentation -- i thank God for you; just can't stop crying. I think you're right about the Trojan Horse ... a hideous real time tragedy. Praise the legal Lions and Lionesses!!
The trump Reich is the deep state.
Russia and China propaganda totally rolled the dumbshit White National Nazi Republicans -- and here we are; WAY TO GO MAGAT FOOLS -- you look like mindless minions CUZ YOU ARE.
Nice tight grouping in the middle of the bullseye 🎯 👌
you and the MTN will keep us sane. I'm 84yrs old, and I've never seen such a horror in our white house. Nixon was small potatoes! compared to trump, Nixon was the Pope. thank you for caring.
Same here. I'm 72 but I vividly remember Nixon and Watergate. Just like you say, Paige, that was NOTHING (swords to that effect) compared to this. That wasn't horrifying, this definitely is.
But Nixon and Watergate were one event along the path that brought us to the current day. American First in the 40s, Dixiecrats in the 50s and 60s, Nixon in the 70s, Reagan in the 80s, the Bush in 90s, Tea Party and Gingrich in 00s,Trump 1.0 in 10s, Project 2025 and Trump 2.0 in 20s. In words and actions the Republicans' fiscally conservative movement political message was don't trust the government and society. With the propaganda spewn by Fox News has given us the MAGA cult and a wanta be dictator.
Thx, Paige, I'm 82 and I agree!
did you ever think in our old age we have to go thru this crap?
I had to look up the myth of the HYDRA because when I heard the news this weekend alone,
the name kept floating around my mind....now, I know why....it has a poisonous breath and blood so virulent that even its was deadly........it describes how I see the MAGA coup
I very happy the courts are standing up to trump, but who is left to enforce their verdicts? We have no one in the Doj or FBI to put them in jail. HELP!
The U. S. Marshall can put musk and his team in jail!! That would be fantastic!!!!!
That is the frightening part.He/ she can’t . DOJ Pam Bondi , Trump’s loyalist won’t allow it.
Arrest that beach as well...shes breaking laws left and right.
the courts have their own police and jails. i just hope they have the courage it takes to do it.
No they don’t. Only Dept. of Justice under Trump’s loyalist can do that.
No, Only DOJ controls / . That is under. Pam Bondi Trump’s loyal chief, who enforces .imprisonment .
Thank you Popok for protecting us from the abuser and not enabling the abuser. Sadly, we find ourselves in an abusive relationship under this administration (not my Prez) but forces to be in the Opposition to this narcissist "father figure"!!!
Stay safe and enjoy your new baby daughter our children need normalcy as much as possible.
Our children by epogentics a generational trauma absorbed by collective !!! Courageous Resistance Movement!!!
Please please for our children for our worlds children bring them and us OUT of this abuse!!!
This and all the horror and abuse around the USA and on the world's children is absoluting unforgiveable! (Ugly crying) To allow food to spoil and not reach starving children is "killing my soul."
I am dim today reading about the suffering poor, children, elderly starving and scared.
Thank you POPOK you are my hero
Your daughter will know your ❤️ and that you fought hard for her and your wife and your Nation.
Take care of yourself POPOK!
Can we do a class action from all Americans to stop this attack on us?
I was wondering about that too. Like a, we the people class action, against this fascist regime attempt to destroy our democracy.
Here is where it hurts the most, what are we going to tell our children and grandchildren in the coming days.. that we just stood by and didn’t fight back? Yes, it’s very uncomfortable but by every bone in my body none of this feels safe ..
I had that same question?
"Trump's entire administration is like a sick bird, its ill-eagle." (Donald Hodgins)
Yeah with the bird flu
I was thinking more like an "air-sickness bag" but yeah, there's a few "sick" turkeys involved too..........
Believe we have the worse treat is this government preparing everything to Russia to takeover are country, Trump said that Putin will visit the White House , great opportunity to arrest him for his crimes
I hope they’ll stand for the people and by the people , we don’t support dictatorship !
The DOJ won’t allow that to happen.
DOJ is compromised!

Gulf of Mexico
GULF OF MEXICO
GULF OF MEXICO
GULF OF MEXICO
GULF OF MEXICO
No matter how many times you think it's the gulf of 'america', it's always been, always WILL be GULF OF MEXICO. Get that through your empty heads.
Hey, Felon Traitor Trump: "GULF OF MEXICO", FOREVER!!!
Gulf of Mexico. Drive your golf cart into it and dissappear
So petty of them, trying to soothe the big baby in the oval office, tantrum. Syncophants, all day of them in this administration.
Gulf of Mexico forever. Convicted Felon and an old man bully dedicated to Putin, who has no knowledge of our Constitution= disaster. 😡
That's as idiotic as everything that comes out of drumpf's and musk's mouths. There HAS to be SOME way to get them both into jail ASAP.

(I give you Jimmy Carter, nuclear scientist, president and life-long humanitarian!) TB's one'a dem!
And this is off-topic, but I've wondered if the pen-and-ink portrait behind your right shoulder (on our left) is of Carter or John Prine. Either is well-qualified to hang in my humble Southern home!
Prine!
Carter!
I'm pretty sure it's not Newt Gingrich (the archtypal Grinch) But do, please let me know.......naw! I can't see it bein' the salamander..........
Make up yer minds, people! Is ours to be a dictatorship or a democracy?!?!? (impure tho it may be....) I kinda LIKE havin' a "say" in the affairs of the country in which I reside (and for which I've served) ....but that may just be me....apparently many (apparently? Even obviously) MANY don't object to proceeding down the other (very dissimmilar) path. But we'll see.....I know this playbook didn't exactly work out for the better for WW2 Germany............although really, people, ain't it a shame our dear leader can't even grow a decent mustasch? (and probably can't raise his heavilly-laden arms high enough to present a proper Nazi salute... ) No! I ask you; isn't this the REAL "issue" here?
Agreed plus Perspective!
Agent Orange of Russia.
Thank you, Popok, for defending us from this abusive administration. I'm deeply saddened that our beautiful country is being put through so much turmoil & pain💙
What I hear is a group of people trying to pervert justice using the reigns of government, the so-said weakness of America, the attributes of dictatorship. This is the Russian way people.
But you are not Russia.
YOU are America good people and what makes you great is your constitution, this is what gives you standing on the world stage, JD Vance did nothing for you, just expose how weak trump is, there was no agreement in München Bayernische other than Europe disagreed.
You became diminished there.
America is better than this, we've seen it with Obama, Biden, but trump is isolating you, Putin has done this Vance has made hiself a puppet of Russki too.
Mr. Popok speaks so well about it.
We know the U.S. are better than this.
Imagine if the spineless hypocrisy in the congressional MAGAt Republicans had SUCCESSFULLY IMPEACHED the Liar-In-Chief in 45’s first debacle
thank you for this update and for your optimism
Is it a good idea that Ed filed the termination of prosecution? I am not so sure that doing it to save other people losing their job is the correct move or are we better emptying the entire office ?
I too dont understand why it is a good thing? They should all say NO & file a suit against the order & against the DOJ & whom ever else
“Almost criminal?” This is a coup. Stop softballing it.

Can I sue the orange clown - for high blood pressure and lost sleep ????
What is really tragic is that this assole mother fucker is putting half a million people on the street, That is bad as far as it goes for those people and those families, but this stupid, and dangerous Trump does not see that already retail sales at two year low, and now you are taking spending money out of the pockets of people. This man is historically mentally ill. and real dumb
I am particularly hearted to learn of steps that can be taken by the courts to enforce their rulings.
"Special Message from Meidas Co-Founder, Ben. (Ben Meiselas and MeidasTouch Network)......
https://www.meidasplus.com/p/special-message-from-meidas-co-founder?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=3078900&post_id=157185729&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=false&r=17g504&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email
I needed this. I’ve been listening to podcasts that seem to deliver the news with glee because it’s so crazy. It scares me though, I never thought that things could get this bad so fast. It’s not anything we have had to deal with in the past and all the lessons I learned my entire life about how the government has checks and balances seems to be wrong. What is Congress thinking! It’s my worst fear, that people might vote for a politician that they believe will do the right thing, even if they break from their party but then they don’t. Nobody is standing up for the country and our democracy on the Republican side. I’ve been scared with how far right the Supreme Court seems to have become but did have sparks of hope from Justice Robert’s annual report letter. I hoped so deeply that the judges and courts would stand firm when everything else seems to be falling apart but knowing the justice department falls under the executive branch left me dreading how they could enforce any rulings if they were given orders to stand down and followed them. Your insight on them deputizing there own court enforcement gave me some comfort and hope again. I need to hear the stories of those that are standing strong because everything seems to look so bleak right now. Thank you..
If the extreme court is given orders to stand down, they don't have to, since they are supposed to be going by the Constitution.
Millions, we the people. We'll have to take our country back even if we have to storm the White House to do it.
Meidas is amazing.. Popok, youre the man! At this point its all about trust. Facts. Sanity. Logic. Truth.
Not to mention a solid commitment to the country they love. No words...
The courts are our barrier between good and evil... the Meidas clan and all of their experts will go down in history like the Minutemen, French Resistance, and all freedom fighters in history.
We cant thank them enough.
And thank you to Canada. You have always been there for the USA in times of need and we admire the fight youre putting up in the name of true democracy.
Truly an inspiration!
"Almost criminal presidency" is a major understatement!
Donald Trump is a sickness Racist he hate everyone Europe Canada Mexico Australia India Cuba Panama UK Trump hate the world Trump hate America sick man Saudi Arabia Jordan Egypt Israel is not interested for Trumps War crimes with Russia China will not happen
“…..link hands, stand shoulder to shoulder….. “ and fight. These are my people!
Your reports are so well done, Michael. I'm concerned that even if the judges hold these people accountable, that enforcement won't be there to back it up.
Ed Sullivan doesn't get any credit for throwing himself over the bomb to protect others from feeling the need to end their careers, over their integrity. All he did was feed the bully. trump got what he wanted and proved that as long as he he continued to push through, he would eventually get his way, in someone else willing to take the bullet for others. I'm sorry ,but there is no honor in that. In doing so and admitting he did ,he violated his oath to uphold the law that he made ,when being sworn in as a member of the State Bar. There is enough distrust of attorneys violating the laws they were tasked to uphold and defend, do so, so blatantly for ANY reason is just another black mark against all of them. There are three areas in life that demand absolute truth and trust. The Government, The Law, and Health Care. When we cannot trust them to be completely honest with us, we are f8cked !
America people have enough of Psychopath corrupt each Prosecutor is stand up and reject Trumps motion sickness motion each day Eric Adams … other criminal activity by Pam Bondi is the devil inside enemy with in
Thank you Michael, MeidasTouch and everyone who keeps us informed regarding the political climate in the US. I live in Australia and really worry about the current future for all Americans and other countries who rely on the US for aid and as an ally. I did not think this political climate would happen in my lifetime. After studying the rise of fascism in university I worry about the domino effect it will have on the world. Keep fighting 💙
Thank you for this information
A definitively criminal presidency.
Excellent content, Popok.
Can your firm file a class action lawsuit on behalf of the citizens of the United States vs Muskrat for accessing our personal information?
Thank you Michael for all you do and for all the information you provide! Good luck with the move, and thanks to all your compatriots in the Popok Law firm.
Thank you for giving me hope for the law fighting for our justice. Sharing
The United States, WE, are now part of the Communist, Fascist, Authoritarian block of nations. Our former Allies with whom we swore a sacred oath to defend the principles of democracy, e.g,. EU, Canada, are now our enemies.

What if tRump ignores these judgements or findings?
we need to start planning our own revolution just in case our politicians aren't successful the legal route. Since trump violates the law maybe it's time, we do too we must unite and act now before its too late. He will use the military against us, if they allow him too.
Nobody fucking cares

Thank you thank you thank you, Michael & All! You do my heart & psyche so much good! Love & inspired by your courage!
Donald Trump racism is dehumanizing American people and their families under his sick narcissistic policies minds of disorder shit billionaire his money will not help him 250 Billion dollars Elon Musk is despicable a sick man MAGA why they go not to China or Russia bye bye Donald bye Elon
Washington DC Columbia districts has impeach the six judges in Supreme Court replace them they are criminals
Supreme Court is Maga court Crazy by far right judges what we learn about give Donald Trump permission
Trump should have been charged with failing to report himself as a foreign agent, like Manafort. Trump has been a Russian asset since 2009.
My question is - what happens when tRump and Mush ignore the judge's decisions to stop the destruction, and just keep on doing what they are doing? Until one of them goes to jail, (which will never happen), there are no teeth in the decisions. I'd like to see blue Senators, Representatives, people like Pete Buttigieg holding press conferences - just to out the madness, give some encouragement to those of us losing our minds, and tell us what they are doing to stop it! The more we know about the damages, the more it is out in the open every day, the better chance we have! I'd like to see these Congresspeople going to the agencies under fire, standing there in front of the door and calling Mush's minions out oe it and being filmed! Put it on TV! I hear nothing about what the Dem's in Congress are doing!
Love what you all do from a concerned citizen 🫶🏼
Even the Russians and Chinese people would have known to NOT vote a Fascist Dictator into power. They are probably smarter than the Magats.
Elon Musk has in White House said he will work class destroying he is Neo Nazi also JD Vance has MSC Munich tell German government have to vote for Trump but Germany rejected Vance speech as Trump Nazi is not happen
Call him Hogsbreath or Hagsdeath or another I read, Drunkensod
Trumps criminal activity must be punished and permanently suspended including his MAGA Extremism Musk sentencing order Trump in prison rest off his life midterm election victory called out 68 lawsuits against him wow what a idiot
Thank you. I got a few things....bear with me. My grammar sucks also.
1. Is the Admin seeming quasi-compliant because they want their bill to pass to avoid shutdown and get Trump his money and debt ceiling BS? How does 3/14 play into everything so far?
2. I can't seem to get an answer to why there isn't much talk of those backing this movement and their overall goal w/ Russia, China and the Middle East. Trump is in debt to Putin. The Saudi's and China I do not know the extent. Conceding Ukraine w/o involving Ukraine is the same as what Trump did to Afghanistan. How's that working out?
3. The farmers will lose land if they lose farming. Can we talk about that land and its value to those involved in the grand scheme?
4. I see many non-profits losing aid, domestically, at least, and are requesting Amazon cards for donations. I will not. Ever. Is there a way to voice this in letter format or somewhere to charities that may come to rely on private donations from supporters that don't support Amazon because of Bezos' move to quash a Harris endorsement? I'd like to help here in WI. I want to communicate the disconnect but in such a way they get the word out to others.
5. I have seen substack authors asking for donations using PayPal. Again, that is unconscionable. How can that change?
6. Thanks for the info on the courts making their own "military style" enforcement as I didn't know that existed. I may have used the wrong phrase but everyone should understand.
7. The SCOTUS concerns me. The leak that Roberts knew how he'd decide immunity after Fisher, says two things. First, they didn't care about getting the indictments to court thereby doing the same thing that Trump did and was convicted of in May 2024, book-cooking to influence the voting opinion of him in the 2016 election. Roberts waited until after he was convicted by a jury of 34 felony criminal counts, to give him criminal immunity, should he win. That sits as well as spoiled milk in the gut.
They aided and abetted a felon. They sent the voters, which in my humble opinion, were not given adequate information to make the critical decision at the voting booth.
Originally 70% thought he should be tried. That may have affected up to 25% of the electorate. The docs case especially. It was less partisan and concerned things voters cared about with migrants..crime, security etc. I read everything but what stood out even heavily redacted was the memo opinion by Judge Beryl Howell before it moving to the sloth that GOD FORBID becomes Thomas' replacement.
Will they novelly tick tock and run the clock, do they believe they will be a nothing burger in an autocracy tech bro take over?
Do they believe in expedition now that they have EGGS on their face? The issue that pissed off Roberts was that neither lower court defined the "official acts" in their decisions to deny motions to dismiss on the grounds of presidential criminal immunity.
Both courts said ALL ACTS. Have those acts been defined? Acts are acts so all acts would be all acts.
They were remanded back to the lower courts and went nowhere. If Sassoon can do what she did why couldn't Garland and Smith? They obeyed in advance and no doc volume was produced.
Roberts left an opening to allow them to decide what is or can be prosecuted.
But believing in the Unitarian Executive Theory, I believe is the term but maybe not, is nothing like accepting authoritarianism. What Trump et al., are doing is not conservative, fiscal, nothing. It is not lawful or constitutional. Did they intend the government to shut down in giving the felon immunity? They knew of something.
Lastly, why haven't we had more outrage over bomb threats on voting day in democratic strongholds and allowing a private citizen but government contractor bribe, by lottery, individuals to vote a certain way by giving them 1M bucks?
Isn't the SCOTUS the oversight for all courts? It's all novel and I have 1000 questions and know I can't get them answered but my humble opinion is to have a normie or someone sorta normie on the Meidas pods asking questions and/or debates that would help everyone else. NORMAL PEOPLE. Not those in lawsuits, or have any prior airtime but just people as I believe we all, one day, will have standing, for a class action, that will encompass the entire US as jurisdiction to challenge the entire system.
Policy is one thing that politicians can lie, puff, etc., but to deny P2025 or the Muskalini connection was election interference and yes, it happens, but it now has happened with a jury conviction, indictments, and we still have what no body voted for or knew of.
Curtis Yarvin states voters have power. No, voters have power with knowledge even though they use their own belief or non-belief systems to discern or not. We have been asked to be a jury not a We The People. Voting should not be after shooting someone's eyes out then asking them what color they are looking at on the page they briefly glanced at. It's a purposed disability and shouldn't be.
I was called Liberal Alex Jones, on a Bulwark comment, for suggesting Joe Biden and his immunity, delay the election for national security reasons because of what the voters were being asked to blindly do that could harm and is harming themselves and others and the world. I guess today I'm proud to be liberal Alex Jones or Joe Rogan because I had an idea but it was radical...as if this isn't.
Thanks for all who read this in its entirety.

Agency officials have received a list, which NPR has viewed, of terms that could run afoul of the orders in the grants and programs they manage; the list includes terms like "climate change," "pollution" and "natural resources," as well as many terms associated with diversity, equity and inclusion. NPR obtained the list from an official at NOAA who agreed to talk on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
I think the reason Musk had to run the blitzkrieg on our government agencies under the guise of rooting out "fraud, waste, and abuse" was one reason: they need to raise a great deal of money RIGHT NOW before the billionaire tax incentives expire in March. They knew they couldn't do it in time if they went through the Congress. The money is going somewhere they can access it for funding their tax break extension.
When seeing Eric Adams and Tom Homan being interviewed together, I couldn't help but seeing Homan as saying "you are my slave and I am your master." Until this regime began, I didn't realize there are so many racists in charge.
Early on in the 2/15 episode you refer to another corrupt administration prior to Trump's first term. I'd like to know which admin. that was.
I am so petrified and I listen to you to feel better about things. Thank you for keeping us informed.

The Orwellian talking head in charge of DOD.
Sounds like the wet dream of Curtis Yarvin who JD Vance and mentor Peter Thiel love and follow in his ideology that Democracy is not only bad but in its last stages and that we need to abandon it and embrace some type of Tech CEO dictator. Yarvin advised that every mid level bureaucrat and every civil servant of the administrative state be fired and replaced with loyalists of their own. Sound familiar? Fascism anyone?
There are so many lawsuits and trump shit going on that it's difficult to follow and understand. You're doing a Fantastic job of explaining where we're at. Keep up the great work! ❤️
We need to project your voice further than here, Popak. Get out on TikTok, IG, Threads.. because let me tell you, there is a huge audience of resisters there. Your messages are so powerful 💪🏼
What happens if he ignores the courts?
Why are we no longer seeing much legal content from Popok? We don't need more preaching when most of us on the podcast already oppose a criminal presidency. I need to understand the significance of the ongoing legal machinations, not so much re-affirming my opposition to a convicted fraudster and sexual predator occupying the Whitehouse.
I don't think the tesla purchase died what so ever. I don't think anyone believes that died. I think they changed the word tesla to electric armored vehicle for the bot farms to roll out to their Maga soldiers online.
I would love to hear I'm wrong.
How do we tell the federal prosecutors how much we appreciate their up, holding of the constitution?
Republican Congress members are complicit.
I believe Musk has tainted every Federal contract bid he is pursuing. His access to Agency procurement information impacts every single Federal BID that Musk currently has in progress, and also every potential future bid. At issue is non-public insider information. You cannot bid if you hold insider information, or if the appearance is the same.
Every bidder competing against Musk has recourse outside of the bid-letting agency. Those of you in the legal trade need to contact Musk’s competitors to advise them of this protest avenue. Protests must be filed before the next procurement milestone.
Jeff Bezos is being handed this smoking gun. When a bidder suspects there will be an unfair bias in the agency, they can bypass GAO and file in federal court to disqualify Musk, a Musk company, or a Musk team (subcontract or joint venture).
Here is the kicker. Federal court judges will decide on the insider information issue, not the Executive Branch employees. Thus undue influence and strong arming from the Trump administration will be useless.
What I foresee is no more Federal contracts for Musk. He has screwed the pooch. I don’t even see how he can be awarded a sole source extension to an existing contract. I see $ for lawyers. Jeff Bezos has a strong protest play here.

Why hasn't our government stop Trump yet??? Why isn't he impeach yet??? How can people think what Trump is doing is constitutional.??? I just don't get it.
Thank you for your clarification of all this.
Please, please look into the abuse of children in the "family courts"!
It's the children that suffer under the systemic violence perpetuated in the "family court." I was appalled to read these sad stories. You have the bandwidth now to look into this "darkness." I know this isn't the NEWS related to tRump but it's the systematic violence on children.
Thank you again!
Congratulations 🎊 on your new firm!!!

I’m also wondering why Elon Musk can be part of the government with the government contracts he has because that’s a conflict of interest so why hasn’t somebody gone after that or if they have who was it?
Armored Tesla is definitely wasted spending by the government. It should be cut immediately.
What is our humanity? Yes this bothers me to the core because it’s so simple to just love another human. I guess a lot of it is the social environment. They grew up in, but once you’re an adult, you can make your own choices as well.
I understand the prosecutor is quitting, but we are gonna need those prosecutors. What do you think?
Michael, you have been so easy to listen to and I appreciate you and your team for bringing the truth back to the people in such an important time. I am very concerned about my future and yes I am struggling on disability, Medicare and Medicaid. My family has been through enough due to illnesses and this threat is going to leave me with nothing. Please keep fighting for all of the victims here in our country and if you do have a way, help us with a lawsuit for all the republicans who have had their hand in this mess for the ptsd that we are all going to have from this bullshit. I already needed mental health support but this is throwing it over the fence. I didn’t work my butt off and break my back to be tossed aside. And the disrespect that they are exuding will never win me over. I hope we can put this to an end soon!
We, I appreciate learning about the law and how it works, along with the calming optimism when radicale injustice is what we feel.
There are many trusted, loyal, and skilled workers in the Federal workforce. It is hard to hear from what’s happening to our government!
You said “almost criminal presidency,” but I think it is DEFINITELY criminal — not ALMOST

The Trump administration is expected to purchase $400 million worth of armored Tesla vehicles, according to a new State Department document detailing procurement for fiscal year 2025.
Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk is a top White House official who has been leading the
Department of Government Efficiency, a unit focused on shrinking the federal workforce and ferreting out corruption. The document does not specify what Tesla vehicles will be purchased by U.S. officials, but Musk's Cybertruck,
with its militaristic design and stainless steel exterior, could be an option.
After reports circulated Wednesday night of the State Department's intent to purchase Tesla vehicles, the document was edited, at 9:12 p.m., and now says the federal contract is for $400 million worth of "armored electric vehicles," but the word "Tesla" was removed.
Reminder don't trade Tesla or any stock own by musk!!
Cancelling All Musk Contracts!!!!!
Putin has "something" over trump. Could it be from ms.universe in russia way back? I just wondered. Thanx for all the resistance.
rump controls the Spearker, Mike Johnson, such that Mike cannot exercise his equal power to respond to Trump's egregiousness. When Trump takes action to negate any impact by the Judicial side, what recourse will our legal system have to not being made insignificant?
Trump's support of Putin to keep the illegal property of Ukraine is only in exchange for Putin's support of Trump when Trump tries to seize Greenland.......
But what effectiveness is a resistance that loses its best and brightest people only to have someone else down the line do what the Trump Org wanted anyway? Eric Adams will still be the mayor and will reek his havoc on the immigrants in NY
trump is a lackey of putin.
Yes he is
Thank you for giving me hope!
Thank you Michael for all that your doing along with everyone else at Meidas+, We the People Resist!
The only phrase that comes to mind while I watch this disgusting shit is, "I feel so disgusted." Or, "This is so disgusting." I really have no way else to express my thoughts.
Excellent commentary! One thing that’s probably irreparable in our lifetime is the absolute destruction of America’s prestige and relevance, especially to developing countries.

For an 'ambulance chaser',you are doing good here. Meemaw approves.
Billionaires entire lives revolve around how to make even more money. They become addicted to this. They have no soul and they really don't care about anybody or anything else other than making money or gaining power using their money. Cruelty means nothing to them.
Thank you, Michael.
Is there a class action suit for citizens against trump, musk, doge, etc? If so, what would qualify someone to join the suit?
I appreciate all you guys do to break down the issues through all the noise. I wish Dems would stop reacting and just focus on the game and it is a game, Trump has rewritten the rules on. Dems should be showing ads on a loop to build their brand, ON A LOOP. Keep filing lawsuits, keep exposing their BS. But really, the Dems absolutely must get a marketing and sales strategy. period. They are getting their asses handed to them all based on marketing principles 101. How do they not see this?
Criminal President, criminal like cabinet??????

I do appreciate your optimism, thank you

The MeidasTouch and particularly Michael Popak give me some slim sense of hope that we may survive this terrorism.
Tell this to the Supreme Court who gave Trump complete immunity, in other words, no checks and balances, no guardrails!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why are you moving to maga-heaven and haven FL?
i really appreciate popok’s legal analyses of the current craziness but am not fond of him hawking his new personal injury practice.
