They are now saying they don’t have to listen to judges. Who didn’t see that coming.
Don’t trust Speaker Mike Johnson
He is a prostitute to trump
This is NOT the time OR THE PLACE for junk ads!!!
Exactly that’s what I have been expecting. All the judgements in the world won’t make them comply and now he is looking to have absolute immunity
They need to challenge that immunity ruling. We all know it's unconstitutional. I'm not sure how you challenge a SC ruling but their must be a way

My concerns are he could have made copies????
I'm sure he has, and his teenage minions have probably already recoded the software in the systems they had access to..... How is anyone to ever find out.... it's not like they follow any LEGAL rules!!! Grrrr
You can bet the farm on that!
I will share a document that you need to see from Newsweek
He protects Trump
Tia we are on the right place
That is not true. Trump was just issued a restraining order for what he tried to defund when he didn't. Manipulation and NOW HAS A RETRAINING ORDER FROM THIS. Great bews!!
Retraining or restraining?

Thanks guys you keep me sane

Get this out
Here it is

What will stop Trump/Musk from disobeying Judicial orders? The executive branch is responsible for enforcement of judicial orders. Trump/ Musk have shown little to no regard for the rule of law.
Impeach the SOB.
or better still, have him removed under the 25th Amendment! Can you remove an entire Administration with the 25th Amendment, or just a President?
THIS!! The only solution as well as the ANTItRumputin-ANTIeVIlonmusk-ANTIjdvance ANTImikejohnson Revolution For Democracy and Liberation of America!! At the very least, get this reign of terror OUT OF WASHINGTON DC - THE MOST DEMOCRATIC AMERICAN TERRITORY!!
Will just pardon himself, but it will keep congress busy
Musk can be indicted.
and Donald Trump will pardon him.... then what?
Is this how it works? -
Someone held in civil contempt by Fed court because they ignored an order to stop doing whatever, they would be fined or arrested by US Marshal who answers to the AG who answers to POTUS. POTUS will tell everybody to ignore order
Yep.... looks like you're in deep doo doo. (Sending EXTRA love and strength to you all from Australia! We're STILL with you in Spirit! Please stay strong, keep up the good fight and stay safe if you can!)
He's already ignored court orders congressional subpoena & told his supporters to do the same! Not to even mention the 1500 convicted criminals he turned lose on streets!
It's too late now. They're just going to laugh in your face. You've lost your country
It well might be too late but if those of us resisting Trump/Musk give up this fight now then it will for sure be lost. There are still fighters in our judiciary and congress but the people must revolt in huge numbers to threaten the re-election of Republicans in 2026. The reason for Trump’s power is his loyal followers that vote for him regardless of his disastrous policies and actions. Our best hope is turning public opinion against the corrupt Republicans in sufficient numbers to create some public resistance to their worst policies now and to regain at least the House of Representatives in the 2026 elections. There are 3 House elections soon that will be pivotal if Democrats can win to help turn this country back toward democracy. There are Federal judges who are stopping some of the most flagrant abuses of power. If Trump decides to ignore the rule of law in complete defiance of the US Constitution then all may indeed be lost. Only fear of losing his voter’s approval and future elections will contain him.
Yes agreed ,,!! We must keep fighting! And resisting. The podcast is so awesome!
He doesn't CARE about his voters' approval any more... he got what HE wanted... all he has to do now, is get his 'Tech Bros' to dodgy the Elections, like they do in Russia and other Dictatorships! So sad for you all..... if only EVERYONE saw who he REALLY was BEFORE the last Election, you wouldn't be where you are today!
He cheated in the 2024 election because that is what he accused demo rates of doing. I know the Miedas brothers don't support that view. If they can name one thing he has accused others of doing that he wasn't doing himself I will recant.
I agree wholeheartedly! Trump has NEVER won ANYTHING HONESTLY in his entire life! Why should THIS be any different? A leopard, especially as old as leopard such as Trump, NEVER changes its spots!!! Grrr
Not yet if we pay attention and force republicans to go against this.. Republicans have to threaten not to vote for the ones in office right now... votes and money are their God... Sick
ALL Republicans in Congress are spineless and apparently fine with betraying their Oath to both the Constitution and the Rule of Law, if it keeps them in power.... DISGUSTING!!!
Shame on you Daniel Dyer.....there is no giving in to anarchy. Do NOT ENABLE.
Sorry Barbara, he's the new Dictator. He just said he's going to attack my home. Nothing you can do
There are strength in numbers..... the more resistance, the better.... never a good idea to fold in the face of a BULLY or an Administration FULL OF BULLIES! FIGHT against this! Speak out.... and BE HEARD!!!
You me and everyone else has two choices die on our feet fight back or live on your knees as a slave to oligarchs you your children and grandchildren.
DANIEL DYER-And yours too evidently💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
I agree, though Trump has a strangle hold on the US. He will not be removed by any Constitutional law. That time has passed. Only revolution will remove him.
But revolutions cost lives and causes a great deal of discomfort. I think it should be started by those already uncomfortable but apparently we have not yet reached that tipping point. In the meantime it doesn't hurt to give the legal beagles a chance to use the legal system to try and stall Trump. At this point they won't make things worse.
All NONtRumputinist and better yet ANTItRumputinist Americans need to COMBINE BOTH - through the legal system AND Revolution AGAINST tRumputin's reign of terror and For Democratic Liberation of America OF AT THE VERY LEAST - BLUE COUNTIES, TOWNSHIPS, STATES AND TERRITORIES!!
It's not either/or thing BUT BOTH AND EVERYTHING COMBINED!!
🤬🤮
Ok, it’s Tax season. What if average Americans just boycotted their taxes? How could the IRS ever enforce a tax rebellion?
They, as they have always done, will empty your bank account, freeze everyone's assets, take homes and cars. Not that I am against this awesome thought, I don't think they won't just wipe out people's accts, etc...
Not if they fire all the IRS agents. Besides, just hire the ones fired to orchestrate the rebellion 🤣🤣

Honey, do you write sci fi on the side? I like your style. Think outside the box. Turn shit into fertilizer.....perfect example.
Right, but Prez Donelon have access to everybody now. Don't think they'd do that? Easily? Seems like it'd be pretty easy, no?
I think they will do it anyway just slowly over time. It would take a long time to take 50 million people through courts.
If the Trump adminstration refuses to follow the law they are criminals. My taxes therfore no longer fund society but organized crime
Isn't it illegal to financially support criminal activities?
Of course that tRumputin's reign of terror is criminal, illegitimate and terroristic!! Treat it accordingly, folks!!
Please let us know when the court actions reach 100. Watching with amazement from London England. What sort of banana Republic does President Musk and D. Rump want to inflict on such an fabulous country.
AG James is a hero.
Omg have you seen the Mike Johnson and the rest of the Cronies having a ball in New Orleans…? That’s some representation right there SMFH 😡
Don't trust Mike Johnson
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS
TRUMP + GOP + MAGA = TRAITORS
🤮🤬
This is so true.
They all need to find and reinsert their backbones and honour their damned Oaths!!!! :-(
to sociopaths oath is to laugh at.
Thank you the best thing I did was subscribe to Meidas Touch Network with Michael Popok

I think I was in grade school World History class the 1st time I heard that poem and have never forgotten it.
So true!
Trump has violated the oath of office by ordering an unlawful breach of security, which is a very serious imeachable offense. What culpability do those who followed unlawful orders have upon them?
UnL(awful). So glad people are coming out of shock and getting busy fighting these motherfu$kers…!!!
Good the best thing I did was join Meidas Touch and Legal AF with Michael and Ben
Thanks for acknowledging Colin Kaepernick, who stood up for us when this was just beginning.
Yes he did
I love you guys. What we need to do is show people that what he is doing line by line what he does that is against the constitution and he should be kicked out. Elon X doesn’t show the truth. He’s paying 40 million at the Super Bowl to show the misappropriation of UNSAID funds
Excellent news 📰
I love this it's time for accountability
These guys are the real deal!!! Thank you MTN(
The Supreme Court should feel like crap for their actions concerning him.
They are a huge part of the current problem. John Roberts and his ok of Citizens United, the liars at their confirmation hearings, a sexual predator, a drunk sexual predator, one flying the flag upside down and the other dicking around with property to make enormous gains. The whole kit and caboodle. And the traitor to her sex, Amy Conehead Barrett. They all make me sick.
The Supreme Court IS crap! I call them the Supreme corrupt court SCC ! The corruption will be thier legacy.
Maybe we shoukd share that with Roberts who is horrified that we have lost faith in his court. I am sure he will be delighted to k ow history will also see this court as the seat of corruption that threatened democracy's downfall.
They need to be incarcerated now and ask for forgiveness later.
He really likes Gitmo. He's said so many times. Maybe he could have his own executive suite!!
Indeed. The Gitmo Presidential Suite.
We have a complete idiot running the country.
Rump is unfit mentally
worse. quisling traitorous terrorist. I mean every single word I'm writing, I'm not writing those words lightly at all. I'm only calling spade a spade.
The Republican Party is a hate group.
it is a full-blown foreign and domestic terrorist organization - unprecedented in the entire history of humankind in that that it has the mightiest power in the world yet it's abusing that power to terrorize its own country and all its Allies.
that IS UNPRECEDENTED IN THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF HUMANKIND!!
I mean every single word I'm writing, I'm not writing these words lightly at all. I'm only calling spade a spade.
I wonder how many bomb threats there's going to be at the SUPER BOWL? Is he going to cancel the rest of SUPER BOWL games if his team doesn't win like he's trying to cancel CBS and others???
I joined Bluesky
I have too but I haven't figured out how to see comments or have a discussion; and the letter limit is too short, lol. I miss Post News but rumor is it's coming back. I think that's where we learn more about how people think and get new ideas. I'm so glad Meidas has that option.
I'm PROUD to be called WOKE. Because it means I am caring, compassionate, honest and decent.
Me too!! Exactly and of course!!
DOGE is a joke to help Trump and Elon Musk
It's no joke. It's a heist.
I know
How do we know they will destroy everything they took?? Are we going to take their word for it???
Trump has destroyed and bankrupted his casinos...really? Doesn't house always win? How do you lose your inheritance $ unless it was a rue for money laundering? What do I know? His behavior speaks to who he is...conman, cult leader, felon, sexual predator, malignant narcissist inflicting harm on a country of citizens. US citizens are people who are experiencing extreme concern and fear due to data breach and violation of our privacy!!!
FBI and all Federal Workers along with our First Responders are Our Sheros and heros!!!
We won't and THAT'S the problem!!!
No it's with the people

Are they any lawsuits regarding the inhumane treatment of migrants? How about the legalization of the death penalty enacted federally, specifically naming migrants? How about the legislation introduced in some states to allow execution of women seeking abortion health care? How about the impending order to invade Gaza, to violate an already terrorized people? How about the tax plan that takes the remainder of monetary power from our citizens? How about the data breech that affects every single American citizen? What about the corruption of our Supreme Court? Which would nullify the efficacy of these lawsuits. This isn’t even CLOSE to the complete list of inhumane actions taken by this administration. What about the data that shows, without a doubt, there was election interference on a national level. Not just the promotion of their ideologies/propaganda on global platforms, or the suppression of liberal content. But interference in actual voting tabulators???? I’m so fed up with our leaders and our courts.

From real life experience dreading this and/or even much worse was gonna be happening, it's why, together with the expertly cyber and technologies professionals, I've been frantically screaming since nov. 6th 2024 on to President Biden's Administration - NOT to legitimize the tRumputin's-eVIlonmusk's-jdvance's hacking of the nov. 5th 2024 "election as their victory"!! I've been frantically screaming to President Biden's Administration to do the investigation of the nov 5th 2024 election, hand recounts and audit!! but, President Biden's Administration, which was excellent!! up until the nov. 5th 2024, from that day on - did the contrary to all Democratic voters i.e. it folded so fast i.e. rushed to surrender to the tRumputinist terrorists and betray Democracy and NATO American Allies that the entire galaxy, not only the world, is still stupefied and horrified.
it's why, together with all Pro-Democracy and NATO American Allies, ever since nov. 6th 2024 on, I've been frantically screaming to President Biden's Administration - NOT to transfer the power to the already convicted felon, criminal of 34 counts and indicted of almost 60, yep, almost 60 more other even much more heinous crimes against America and NATO American Allies!! I kept screaming - tRumputin is NOT like any other politician, much less a "president", he is a terrorist putin's of russia agent tasked by him&all other generally anti-American terrorists to, literally, destroy America and the entire Modern West!! But, President Biden's Administration, which was excellent!! up until the nov. 5th 2024, from that day on - did the contrary to all Democratic voters i.e. it folded so fast i.e. rushed to surrender to the tRumputinist terrorists and betray Democracy and NATO American Allies that the entire galaxy, not only the world, is still stupefied and horrified.
now, I really don't see a way out this horror that should've NEVER EVER BEEN ALLOWED, especially, 'cause its been lasting for a decade already, at the very least.

Attempting to destabilize by dumping all the executive orders to spread the chaos. I hope we can focus on them and THE PEOPLE will hold their ground as justice works. We need to stop this fascist takeover. Don't forget the Brownshirt people keeping Senators out of government buildings. this is NOT ACCEPTABLE to me and I hope many others.
Be careful which sites you go to do not use X as its full of MAGA with Elon and Trump
MEIDAS TOUCH Network is the best and Attorney Popok too!!
You guys are so amazing!!! Thank you so much for your work, your service, your patriotism!!
tRump is so worried about the deficit, he added $8 trillion to the deficit in tRump 1.0.Whats the interest on $8 T?
Great job! You are an inspiration. Your integrity is exemplary.
I've heard the hackers called musk-rats
what makes anyone think that they will actually destroy any info? I am happy that these are being filed but I don't trust these people at all.
Thank you so very, kind gentleman, for speaking the Truth!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 I love your excellent work and podcast!!!💙💙💙💙
They won’t adhere to the injunctions.
Don't don't go do not go to X
Trump, Elon Musk and Maga Mions are corrupt authoritarian dictatorship let's protest and remove them they are authoritarian regime

I wonder how many ignorant MAGAs thought they would be exempt from Trump's massive cruelty and destruction?!
You can bet that the wealthy will have everything available to them, that they take away from us.
Heard about Nationwide Class Action lawsuit possibility? If true, let us know where to sign.
Welcome to 1945
• The Nuremberg judges ruled that people are responsible for their actions, even if they were following orders, if those orders were illegal under international law.
• The judges said that people could not use "following orders" as an excuse if they knew the order was illegal
• Service members of the United States Armed Forces are required to disobey orders that violate the law.
I think the military is just another failed institution.
It occurs to me we should be thinking of another time in history when the people of Belgium and other European countries in the path of the Nazis, did not roll over and cooperate. They resisted. Like the Franks, a long time before they rounded them up and sent them off to concentration camps....AFTER they found the "final solution." But there were some during those days who stood up to the inhumanity. Who fought back actively even more than resisting silently. I was a child during WWII but the news reels at every Saturday matinee we went to each week in our neighborhood kept us apprized of the way things were going in Europe. And we gave all our metal coat hangers to the scrap metal drives, our quarters each week for US SAVINGS BOND STAMPS to BUY WAR BONDS and float more battleships. The whole country was mobilized from the least among us.
I am ready for that now. The enemy is within this time.
Thank you Popok. Keep Speaking TRUTH to POWER-guise!!
I appreciate you starting a law firm for those who need a voice and a place to be heard. Especially ifthey have been victim of abuse, accident, or injury, etc. Who are vulnerable and likely getting g misrepresented in the climate of
I just want to know WHO will enforce the court orders and HOW? That is of primary concern for me. Because Trump and Musk are just ignoring court orders. Must needs to be stripped of his citizenship and arrested.
Remember Amy Coney Barrett, Associate Justice, is from Louisiana and is under control by The Heritage Society and other far-right organizations. That makes me wonder if she will cave.
Thank you I miss Joe Biden
The DOGE mandate is a lie. Their mission is not to find waste in the Federal budget, it is to destroy it from the inside. The fact that they did their dirty work in mere days, tells you that their work they couldn't possibly have made any thoughtful investigations. On a system as vast as those in Treasury, for example, it would take months to analyze and find the waste.
I have posted that this is tantamount to a brain surgeon using a battle ax to perform delicate brain surgery. This is the largest data dump since the beginning of the computer age. This makes China and Russia look like kindergartners. Telling them to stop is way too late. The data is probably on a cloud server somewhere. And what these techies have seen, cannot be unseen. Are you going to erase their memories?
Not to mention looking for financial waste would take a CPAs NOT hackers!
I think the treasury allocations are public information.
Musk needs to lie smarter.
And, tragically, the big tech in USA is tRumputin's-eVIlonmusk's-jdvance's accomplice.

You’re absolutely right, apologies for the vagueness in my post. 🙏
When I say faith community, I mean Christian’s and non-Christian’s; I mean members of any faith or spiritual tradition; I mean those deconstructing the fake version of faith they were taught; I mean agnostics and atheists; I mean any person that seeks to name the hypocrisy of Project 2025/religious extremism.

They will just ignore it like they always do
Trump is following North Korea's playbook. As we know he went to North Korea to consult with their leader.
Yep. and terrorist orban viktor's hungary.
Now, why and how do EU and NATO still count that regime as their member - is a total mystery to me.

Why isn't anyone bringing a law suite against Musk and his hackers. What they are doing is criminal
The claim they are looking for financial waste is complete bull shit. If that were the case Musk would have employed accountants NOT hackers.
While Trump has immunity thanks to the Supreme corrupt court neither Musk nor his band of hackers does. They should be brought up on criminal charges. Accessing medical records via hacking is a HIPPA violation and I am reasonably sure accessing financial records is also a criminal act.
If criminal isn't possible due to presidential pardons then why not go after them in a civil suite.
Now they need to start an impeachment process against the orange felon, deport musk and start impeachment on SCOTUS members so they don't overturn any of these injunctions.
First we need more democrates with spines to be voted into office. Thus the dragging out of legal cases to slow thier progress.
As long as we have spineless MAGA door mats in the houses impeachment would be a waste of time.
Ben and Popok can you please 🙏 on everyone on every thing you talk on to remind everyone in Florida and any where else where there are special elections in 2025. Florida has a special election on April 1st for Gaetz seat and one for senate seat which Randy Fine is running on republican party and I forgot the name of the Democrat who is running. Randy Fine is horrible horrible horrible. Please remind people on every show and every every substack.
So how do any of the lawsuits/judgements have teeth if Trump just ignores them and does what he wants? Will the DOJ rise up against Trump's Attorney General and just arrest him if he doesn't comply? Will they arrest Musk? What? At some point there needs to be action on the part of high placed individuals who do have the authority to "physically" enforce the law and who care about democracy and will ignore the "norm" of not prosecuting a sitting President. We have corrupt constitutional law "experts" (I use that term lightly) saying he can completely ignore the courts. It's staggering. Expecting norms to be honored is foolish. He's a felon! He breaks the law, he doesn't uphold it or "honor" it. I don't know all the ins and outs of this and I probably sound ridiculous, but I'm terrified.
My emotions, questions, way of thinking and feelings exactly, my friend!! Identical as you I'm reasoning too!!
They are no better than war criminals
they ARE terrorists.
Yes but are they complying? Are the injunctions being enforced?????
Do these people live in an alternate universe
There's NO WAY in Hell that Elon Musk WILL destroy everything! How are they, or we for that matter, going to know whether he did, or he didn't? This lot are LAWLESS and will just IGNORE Judges rulings! HOW will this be enforced?????
Since SS can be an automatic deposit, they also have our bank info
They are stupid
Sadly, the courts only have authority when people respect their power. I anticipate bloodshed in our future. I pray Democracy wins. Dictators are suckers and losers.
But Elon is not following the court rulings and Trump will pardon him
The sht show is here! The mid terms can’t come soon enough ! To give Democratic majorities to Congress
If tRump wants to do a line item, veto of the constitution about birthright citizenship then then the 25th A section. 3 needs to be enforced!
I learn so much from you guys. Love it!
Are there any lawsuits for the deportation cruelty that is happening? Also I read ICE will be allowed to go 100 miles from all four US borders and coastlines!!!!

Do not give up!
Thank you for these great updates. I'm so glad I'm subscribed now.
Is there anything that can be done to stop or hold accountable Musk???

Dump Zuck
Cut the fb cord join MTN
You will survive and thrive on Substack
I did cut facebook on jan 22nd (this year).
never ever used twitter-x, so proud that I never ever did!!
Thank you thank you POPOK and Mayor Ben!!!!I'm feeling less anxious and more defended by you guys and your awesome tream!!!
Who will you collaborate with to get the political blue tsunami underway to keep and get democrats in all seats and which ones are strategic. Mayor Ben there must be a DNC campaign message plan? Is it Martin? Sorry his name needs to roll.off my toungue!
Recommend democrats meet the people where they are...need the on the ground journalist to insure they feel heard!!
After seeing the CNN interview by Manu Raju with Rep Jim Jordon, Head of the Oversight Committee, our Nation is in big trouble. He believes that the 1st Amendment gives A President total executive authority. Jordon says that there’s no need for oversight over what DOGE is doing since they are Federal Employees (I didn’t know that Musk’s team had been sworn in as Feds!) It seems that it’s now Trump not Congress that has the power of the purse.
So why are we even paying Congress if all they are good for is to be on committees to destroy Fed employees & legislators that were questioning Trump & looking after the country?
fuck gym jordan!!
Shed light on the two special election seats in Florida, April election date. DNC is not funding their campaigns.
I realize that these ORDERS are a big deal under US Civil law and presidential immunity does not apply. My question is should Elon, ( God forbid) commit a criminal act in the execution of his fake presidential directives immune from criminal prosecution vicariously??
he's already committed countless crimes.
Hey Ben, thank you for spotlighting other Independent Progressive Media voices. PLEASE do a MeidasTouch spotlight on Jesse Dollemore & his brilliant wife, Brittany Page.
Can we impeach Trump and get him out of office?
Keep calling your Congress member and Senators, even the red state ones! Push back make them uncomfortable. Elon and the muskrats need to go!
We have to give red state legislators a reason to resist Trump
Focus on the senator closest to reelection
Please, please, please arrest all of them!!
Ben and Michael what is your take on defunding Social Security?? Does Trump know this is our money not the Government?!! We have had put our money into this Trust. Since the Roosevelt administration the federal government has been dipping into our money. Since 2022, the federal Gov. owes the American people over 7.9 TRILLION of our Money in the SS Trust .🇺🇸🇺🇸💙🫥
DA James is so good!!! Follows the laws no matter what!! Thank you!!❤️❤️
Those DC judges watched Trump piss on all their hours and effort and expense to put away those J6ers, many of whom tried to kill cops.
One of your suggestions to fund a sovereign wealth fund sounds like collateralized debt obligations. Remember how well those worked?
The US Treasury is not meant to be Trump's personal ATM machine.
Anticipating all that evil from the quisling traitor terrorist tRumputin - for three months , I repeat, for three months I've been urging President Biden's Administration - NOT to cede the power to the terrorist!! But, "how dare I..."......
Thank you MTN for doing Substacks! Never too much information on this clown! Not my president, NEVER 🤔
Do you think that SCOTUS would ever consider reversing their immunity ruling?
Who will enforce this? since he has all "kiss ass" people in the government?
Colin Kaepernick stands in history, not stood in history. He continues to work charitably in the community he grew up in. Collin makes me a lot more proud to be American today than for my government that is ushering in fascist cruelty.

Yes!! I love that substack and Timothy Snyder!!
Beware of the orban-viktorist troll "Jaroslaw Martyniuk" and report him, as I did!!
For the past 10 years or moŕe onvicted felon has dominared media and now muskrat is doing the same. I am looking to a future where their presence will no longer be seen or heard.
Why isn't any lawyer in Congress making a WethePeople vs Trump/Musk Terrorist Regime Class Action Law Suit ????
My question exactly!! Yep!!
Oligarchs say we the people are the shit they grow their money in
Ben, I appreciate the way you teed up this episode. Framing it this way helps me focus on what matters, protecting our constitution.
How is JD Vance succeeding overthrowing the bill of rights separation of church and state?
Where are the police? I don’t know how this is happening
Musk-rats
Great closing message. That’s how I think of my purpose.
47% is still to freaking high
... and then what if they don't comply with destroying whatever they've gotten from the servers and are held in contempt? Will they be thrown in jail for treason, for forming a coup, for theft over?? Isn't this where Trump's immunity deal makes it okay?
TRO's may be a win but there is no evidence that anyone is complying with them.
I totally agree. Is this what you want for your children and grandchildren?
Can we launch two viral campaigns against Trump:
1. Kash Patel is a DEI hire. He needs to be arrested.
2. Please let's call Elon's young team Hackers rather than Coders!
How will you get these criminals out of the Whitehouse?
I'm so glad the courts are holding. They are all we have.
'Flu' ???? Huge measure of Covid in the mix.
It hasn't been a month and I'm already OVER this regime (not administration).
I've been OVER it when the monster flew down that escalator in 2015. Yep, a decade!!
PA didn’t participate in the lawsuit. Where does that leave people in PA
I just joined Bluesky
I love this stay away from X and do podcasts and Substacks plus I joined Bluesky
The pronunciation of Uyghurs is wee-grs
Actually it should be Ooyoors, yep, Ooyoors (the stress on last syllable), but, .... wtvr...
They pronounce themselves in their language Ooyoorlar, I think, the middle -oo- is long.
Trump is their tool. He is their puppet. Elon is controlling the operations by design. Project 2025 is coming to fruition as was laid out, in the open, in early 2024. Trump doesn't have the intellect or the conscience to master-mind anything. He has the perfect personality teflon traits with the need for the limelight and the lack of humanity to be their ventriloquist dummy. ("their" are the authors of Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation)
What proof do we have that they destroyed the data they stole?
And a good number of them had serious cases before J6, some cases against children
No one asks the first-day plans because the candidates will only lie about it, like Bondi, Kennedy, Gabbard, and Patel did - lie, lie, lie..

The public should be given Trump's and Musk's data!
Reminds me of what Andrew Jackson, Donald’s hero, said about the Courts decisions. Jackson said… well I’ve got my army, what army does the Court have? I think we are getting to that stage… I call it an American Cultural Revolution, Red Hats functioning as Red Guards.
None of this is new, we’ve seen this movie before.
I'm really desperately hoping that the good parts of the Army and Democrats have a plan but it must NOT leak into public!! It must NOT leak into public!!
Congress has said its all illegal.
It's going to take a massive boycott and protesting.
As a former fed, if I tried to access information I was not qualified or authorized to view, my butt would have been hauled into the nearest police station, after being perp walked IN HANDCUFFS out of the building. I don’t understand how building security allowed these hackers, and Musk - all non-government employees, into the building.
Yep, my sentiments and questions exactly!! Of course!!
Great work
I hope and pray that ALL that have been fired or affected in some way are able to sue musk.
Taxpayers just paid 7 million dollars for “DOGE” expenses.
BMO system crashed today last week was Bank of America. I wonder which one will be next.
St. Isidore case being heard by the Supreme Court is a direct arrow to the separation of church and state.
The story is here in the state of Arkansas in the town that I live in they're spreading rumors that those kids that work for Doge have downloaded files of vital statistics into thumb drives how true this is I don't know this is what I'm hearing out here every time I go to Walmart People are talking freely and joking about it it's like going to a coffee shop and listening to the shenanigans
DOGE is using AI to comb our data, determining what to keep and what to discard without any human input. Sending out emails and intruding on every American's private information. I for one do not want a computer model determing anything for me.
I thought this podcast was "ad free"? Ads for Popok's private new law firm (ambulance chasers?) is an ad.
Not just taking our data using AI to look at everything and AI is make decisions on what stays and what leaves.
Trump and Musk denied the people US Aid and Russell Vought is involved too
Country wide protest march February 17th at noon. Go to Washington or state capitals or city halls. We the people have to stop this it's on our watch let your voice be heard.
I just found out that T-Mobile will help too
This is their Sunday drama drop.On purpose. Ai generated?
If this bombardment of criminal attacks on our country and democracy is allowed to continue for four years, there are a whole world of people and institutions who are not doing their jobs! This won’t just kill Americans, but people and democracies worldwide
THIS!! I love Ben and Popok but if they've resigned to this and/or worse than this for 4 years when it can NOT and must NOT be tolerated for 4 minutes!! ...... then, I don't want to say what I feel.......
But the question is who enforces any of these rulings at the moment the fox is guarding the henhouse so is it a state attorney general that gets involved with law-enforcement who is the entity that’s going to take even a Supreme Court justices ruling and enforce it they can’t
Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger were on the Committee with Bennie Thompson and others
We need to protect those that served on the J6 Committee
My father in laws hospice us still unsure. How nice, take away the care of a dying man!!! My mother in law can't get her meds!!! Nice!!! If I couldn't stand this orange turd before, I hate him to yhe hills now!!!
Glad you are here. But, we need to stop with the opining and pundits and start bringing in strong voices of leadership. Governors mostly. Gretchen, Pinnsker, Waltz, who are fighting for the working person. How are they fixing housing pricing jobs voting rights reproductive pay equity infrastructure supporting farmers rural health clinics. Climate change etcThe contrast of a billionaire taking food out of starving children’s mouths cutting prescription drug caps for vulnerable seniors going after our neighbors and friends his Gaza crazy. His Greenland crazy his Panama crazy. His immigration going after non criminals oh my supporting Putin needs to be highlighted and a light shining on it.
Contrast hurting the regular guy and taking umbrage with billionaires while we are working slogging to address price gouging billionaires is essential.
Sorry for long missive. But in depth investigative reporting needs to be highlighted. The lies of condoms, Panama saying we don’t have to pay, him taking credit for stuff done in last administration needs o be front and center with sour options to fix stuff.
🤦♀️🤮🤬
Vance is saying that federal judges shouldn’t have a say within the executive branch. They’re clearly planning on defying federal judges rulings.
Whi h is why I claim my taxes are supporting criminal activity. I am being extorted me and millions of other people who pay into the treasury every pay check.
I don't like this band of thieves I have my receipts and I want my money back. I am NOT getting what I paid for.
I paid for a government that works for the public what I was given was a bunch of fraudulent criminals.
I can't stand Elon Musk don't go to X
Well, what do we do now? Get some sheriff's deputies and arrest them? They are begging to be taken by force.
Please investigate Rep Ogles, and do it in State court if possible, for his illegal campaign contributions and illegal loans; Cases that have now been dropped after he put forth legislation to give a President a third term. And last Thursday put forward the Bowser act legislation. After reading the Bowser Act legislation, I think this is a five alarm fire! This will strip DC of any representation other than Trump, and potentially any other legal resources other than the federal judiciary, over which Trump has control. If passed, Trump will In Essance become king within the boundaries of Washington DC.
Not be outdone...l was over him in 1989. Central Park Five. Saw his racism, his mafia styled, ignorant bluster. Back then, people knew what he was - a loud mouth and a fool. In November 2016, l heard a Newscast featuring him as l was shopping in Bulk Barn. I said to my friend, "that's exactly how a dictator sounds".
Very interesting read. Thank you for sharing the link!
Nice closing comments Ben.
Tell me when he starts following the law.
Who enforces these injunctions? If Misk and team choose to ignore.
We live several lives through reincarnation. Watch nde experiences on YouTube from people that have died and share their experiences. We live forever.

I am scared. What happens when Trump as Trump ignores the courts????????? Next steps?
When is Trump going to be formally requested to present a Medical Report? I thought it was requested when you take the office of President?
I am wondering when J.D.Vance is going to apologise for his views on Trump when he described him as an American Hitler. After all he thinks the IT Musk emplyee should apologise for airing his views.
Thanks LAF. and Midas Miedy. Answered a lot of questions along with the lawful way. I’m really hoping we get this total admin dismissed by the people and judges and you 2 getting us there. 😎
However, they don't care about the law and will just do whatever they want. How do we get them out of there?
Blue Dot Goddesses in red sea 🌊 🦭 ⛵️ 🐚 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 love your truthtelling fierceness!!
I notice when anyone asks tRump about what Musk is upto he just looks away in a submissive "tell" body language is obvious that he is all "power-guise" faded glory deferring and aligning his perceived power to Musk. Musk is a Trogan Horse!!! Get him out!!! It's a Coup!!!
My Data, My Body Get Musk Out!!!
Krystal Ball anyone see her break Musk down in what he truly is going after? Saw it on DonLemon YouTube show
Is it possible get a pre-emptive restraining order on DOGE for Dept of Ed and DoD? Based on the violation of privacy of employees and students should they get access given what they have done at other agencies already?
Hood them and fly them to Gitmo
Put hoods over their heads and fly them to Gitmo
If everybody flooded all media and as many outlets as possible including all members of Congress Democrats, (who are pretty lame at the moment)(Cowardly Republicans)and Trump Social with online protests and one message "Stop buying Tesla, Arrest Musk, IMPEACH. Would that not help??
Also Hitler was once a liberal art student.
It doesn't mtter how many times Trump and Musk lose in court. The commander in chief is in charge of our military and he can order the armed forces to stand guard in front of all the agency offices that Trump and Musk want to dismantle. If the pesky judges issue orders that Trump doesn't like, he can send his 'brownshirts' the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers that he just pardoned to intimidate them or worse. They now have all the power with nobody who can stop them.
Ben why don't you do the show by yourself. You're being so rude to popok 🤬🤬🤬
Ben please let popok and others you do podcast with speak. I watch you all the time but you always take over the conversations. We like Popok, and Harry Littman, and your brothers speak also.
Please, quit trying to drive a wedge in our "camp" when we need to be the most united!! I mean if Popok or Littman felt that way you ramble, they have brains for themselves to fight for their rights against "Ben not letting them", puuuhhleeeease.
Love you guys. What can I say? What we are dealing with is the low end of human nature and it sucks. When our lives feel or are threatened, we sell out. Anything but death. The only way this current war between death deniers and the rest of us resolves is by taking the side of love and compassion. The emotion that is appropriate for the time in which we find ourselves is grief, and we are a grief illiterate American culture. That's the truth of things.
Bring back the political interviewer like Bian Walden .. FYI here's a bit of British History which has just been dramatised on our Channel 4 … https://youtu.be/vu7kZdbI2sg?si=l2v9H5tIakz2EzFH
**Title: Analyzing Trump's Surprising Polling Surge Amidst Musk's Controversies**
Recent polling data reveals that Donald Trump is experiencing a notable surge in support, currently polling at 70%. This figure has left many observers puzzled, especially given the heightened scrutiny surrounding his past actions and policies. One potential explanation for this phenomenon could be his strategic use of figures like Elon Musk to deflect attention from his controversies.
Musk, often in the headlines for his polarizing decisions, is currently seeing support in Poland at just 23%. As Musk navigates his own challenges, including criticism over his management of social media platforms and business ventures, Trump appears to benefit from the distraction.
In a landscape where public opinion can shift rapidly, it’s crucial to analyze these dynamics. Trump's ability to maintain such a high approval rating amidst ongoing debates reflects both his resilient base and the complexities of contemporary political discourse. As the 2024 election approaches, the interplay between these influential figures could shape the narrative in unexpected ways.
?? source?? when?? where??
I am several years older than either Ben or Michael so I remember well the late 50's and 60's. Among the frightening things that may/will result from this racist regime are the not so peaceful protests that left many of our cities burning, even more so than the George Floyd protests.
I have a question for Popok. Recently I got a lot of hope from your explaining how state courts can issue contempt of court rulings which would be enforceable against people in the Federal government for not complying with a state court order. However I recently heard an interview on Bulwark with attorney George Conway in which he explained that the way these contempt of court citations are executed is by the US Marshall's Service which is part of the Federal Justice Department. He says that it is likely the new leadership of the Dept of Justice will not allow the US Marshalls to execute state court citations. Do you have an opinion on that?
Watch "JD Vance and Elon BEND THE KNEE Immediately", on YouTube. (Tennessee Brando)......
