Trump, knowing he is likely to lose at the Supreme Court and have to pay back $100 billion in collected tariffs because they are unconstitutional taxes on the American people, has panicked and ordered that all the billions collected from AMERICAN COMPANIES not foreign countries, be quickly stashed away in the Federal Treasury to make any future refund order by the Supreme Court hard if not impossible. In response more than 100 US companies have filed suit against the Trump Administration to stop it. Popok reports.

A Chief Federal Judge is trying to determine today whether not only should he refer Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem for criminal prosecution for contempt, but whether DOJ Attorneys should be prosecuted too. In a new filing, the question is raised whether DOJ Attorneys participated in a crime or fraud with Noem that would strip her of her attorney client privilege and force her to testify and leave her defenseless to a criminal contempt referral for prosecution. Popok explains why the Judge should deny today the DOJ's motion to reconsider his order setting a contempt hearing for Monday and...

Trump has officially lost it, bragging about passing “cognitive tests” that masquerade as dementia ones, while going on racist rants, interspersed with sexists ones, and then finally admitting that “affordability” in Trump America is a “con job!” When bored, he throws Administration officials like Kristie Noem, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel under the bus. And now federal appellate courts are firing back like never before, as Trump begs his favorite Federal Judge not to release the Mar a Lago Jack Smith report.

Former FBI Dir.

Don't believe a word Trump posts on social media. He has no intention of actually having the Epstein Files see the light of day. Sure he gave permission to House Republicans to save themselves to vote for their release today on Capitol Hill, but the Senate will slow the bill down long enough for AG Pam Bondi to stand at a podium and announce that there is an "active" criminal investigation against only the Democrats and Epstein, to block the files release all over again.
