On this episode, Popok unpacks one of the most alarming breaches of national security in modern history: a Trump Administration group chat discussing war plans was reportedly leaked to a journalist. As the fallout begins, Fox’s Pete Hegseth is thrown under the bus by his own colleagues, and Trump erupts—"They did WHAT?!"
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration defies a federal judge, refusing to confirm whether it violated an injunction barring the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants to a notorious El Salvador prison without due process. An appellate court blasts the move, declaring Nazis were treated better by the U.S. government than those being deported today.
Popok also breaks down two major cases before the Supreme Court: whether the rehiring of 16,000 probationary federal workers should be blocked, and whether Louisiana having two Black-majority voting districts is somehow one too many.
Plus: Alina Habba is reportedly being groomed by Trump for higher office, and JD Vance is being exiled to—er, joining his wife in—Greenland after his alleged role in the war plans leak.
All this and more at the intersection of law and politics!
