Francis Maxwell discusses new reporting that Elon Musk's days at the White House may be numbered.

Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok head the top rated Legal AF podcast, and tonight discuss: Two separate Federal Judges declaring that the Trump Administration is acting in "bad faith" and committed an "illegal act" concerning its illegal deportation powers; the Supreme Court's alarming decision about Trump's cutting funding and spending and what it means for future cases; MAGA trying to suppress the vote and throw out votes in North Carolina under a phony fraud challenge to steal a NC Supreme Court seat; the fact that even the Trump DOJ thinks George Santos should go to jail for a long long time; and what the Courts and the Senate Republicans can and will do to stop Trump's Tariff policies which have put the economy face first into a meat grinder in just the last 48 hours, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

fElon is quite concerned about the fate of TSLA all of a sudden 🤷🏻‍♂️🙄

Welcome to the Bear market that Trump created in 24 hours, with China grounding the world economies to a halt with a new 34% tariff, the world recognizing that Trump doesn’t know what the word “reciprocal” means and used a 3rd-grade formula to calculate his tariffs, and JP Morgan doubled its prediction of a recession to 60%. Michael Popok reports that even leading Senate Republicans think that the Trump Administration is selling “deep stupid” to the American people and that we are “all going to die” from the policies.

Barack Obama points out the obvious when it comes to Trump and his supporters.

This is OUTRAGEOUS! Full BOYCOTT OF NYTs IS CALLED FOR.

Decillis said the owner of the farm described a “terrifying” scene, where masked and armed federal agents handcuffed the children and put them in a van early in the morning.

The family is now in a detention center in Texas, the Karnes County Detention Facility. Holman claims they were detained to protect them as they might be victims or witnesses.

Decillis said that doesn’t make sense, if they were taken in as potential witnesses and victims of a crime.

"As far as I know, witnesses aren’t detained. You can come talk to them wherever. So that was another red flag for me," he said.

Dems must reject the economic illiteracy of Trump's blanket tariffs that will drive prices up, investment down, growth down--pushing us towards stagflation. That doesn't mean embracing status quo policies that led to Trump. Gov't has to improve life for many struggling.

We can do it in a financially sound way. The way we reduce deficits is by taxing the wealthy more, cutting the bloated defense budget, cutting fossil fuel subsidies, & having Medicare negotiate against drug manufacturers to lower costs.

We also need new high paying jobs and economic growth. The times demand a Marshall plan for America's economic renewal. We can spur high paying job creation in every town & city that will lead to growth & increased tax revenue reducing deficit.

We cant simply go back to an America where we neglect inequality, or watch jobs being shipped offshore passively, or are resigned to wealth piling up in NY and SV while most Americans have no economic security.

Why would we want to go back to that --where people in too many communities do not have high paying jobs, young folks can't afford a house, many are struggling to pay medical debt or afford childcare?

We need a transformative vision so that ordinary Americans have a shot at success in the modern economy. That is what my economic patriotism is about. It is about finally getting economic security and independence for the majority of Americans.

Taxing the very rich & cutting defense contractors to pay for Medicare for All, universal education and $10 day childcare. And having the biggest high paying jobs development initiative this country has seen in decades. A pro growth, fiscally sound, progressive vision!

Dear MAGA,

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril.

Keep threatening Americans.

The protests will only grow.

Trump is hated.

Musk is hated.

The political winds have shifted.

People are fed up.

This is only the beginning.

The resistance won’t be televised...It’ll be on MeidasTouch.

HANDS OFF. ELBOWS UP!

This video directly contradicts the statement by the police. In this video the man clearly got out of his truck to yell at protests on a red light. Note the streetlight says no turn on red. A turn on this light was illegal. The protesters in the road had the right of way.

This video is the video cited in the Yahoo article here:

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Michael Steele, former RNC chairman, former lieutenant governor of Maryland, political analyst, and outspoken Trump critic. We break down the impact of the Wisconsin Supreme Court race after a Democratic victory, Trump’s reckless tariff policies and their economic fallout, and Senator Cory Booker’s record-breaking 25-hour speech on the Senate floor. Steele and I also discuss the state of the Republican Party, from its deep internal fractures to its ongoing struggle to define itself beyond Trump.

When you see warped Trump policies that hurt the middle class, follow the money for an explanation. Michael Popok examines how Trump’s insane tariff policies that caused the “dumbest recession ever” overnight, have caused investors to run to the bond market, a market controlled in part by companies owned by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. Michael Popok puts on his Wall Street hat to discuss how the flight to bonds caused by the Lutnick phony “reciprocal” tariff stampede, is benefiting his companies and crushing American dreams.
