In breaking news, the Supreme Court has, without dissent and in just 16 minutes of deliberation, stayed a federal judge’s decision that would have required Missouri to use a MAGA-centric 2025 congressional map eliminating at least 1 democratic seat in the House, a big win for democracy. Popok reports on the new breaking news and its impact on the Midterms as the Dems try to win the House.

Trump has run out of moves against a unified, Mark Carney-led Canada and is forced to run to Mexico for a bailout, as China picks up trillions in new deals by offering the world a “stable” trading partner.

Popok reports on Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News, using his Wall Street Journal to criticize Trump for attacking Senate Republicans and causing the potential loss of 6 seats, giving the Democrats control.  All this set against the backdrop of a phony, ego-boosting "Republican Midterm Convention" that will likely turn off even more voters!

Popok calls out the Trump DOJ and FBI for ignoring the attempted attack, with 2 firearms, on Democratic Ohio Governor Candidate Amy Acton at a local state fair, as Trump hides behind a right-wing podcaster's unsubstantiated claims that it was all a "hoax", and her opponent Vivek Ramaswamy follows suit.

Popok reports on the United States Supreme Court and Justice Kavanaugh NOT granting an emergency stay to Missouri to allow it to use new MAGA congressional maps to grab 7 out of 8 congressional seats, and requiring full briefing this week to decide instead. Popok sees this as a possible favorable data point that the Court will NOT overturn the Missouri Supreme Court's ruling siding with voters and will require the old map to be used, giving the Dems 1 more seat before the midterms.

It’s a proverbial race to the courthouse, as the Trump Administration rushes back to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis to try to block Judge Talwani’s new preliminary injunction, but Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson trips them up by refusing to grant an Administrative Stay to stop ballots from going out in the meantime. Popok explains how that is a bad sign for the Trump attempt to use the Postal Service to deny 1/3 of America their mail-in ballot! Qualia: Go to https://QualiaLife.com/legalaf for up to 50% OFF!

Ever see a dachshund rip the throat of a German Shepherd? You are about to, as Canada doesn't take kindly to being compared by the US Treasury Secretary to a "yippy dog" and a dachshund against the US' "German Shepherd".  Popok discusses the historically disgusting metaphor used by Bessent and why it is destined to backfire.

Popok reports on breaking news as the U.S. Supreme Court—so far—has refused to grant an emergency stay in favor of Trump to let him proceed with using the Post Office to deny delivery of mail-in ballots to voters and election offices. Popok explains that the Court is likely waiting for Judge Talwani to issue her latest injunction against Trump first and certainly is not stopping mail-in ballots from being mailed out by North Carolina and other states now.

In breaking news, Judge Boardman (Federal Judge, Maryland) has entered a new Nationwide Preliminary Injunction declaring that, as it relates to a large class of babies already born in the US, Trump's latest attempt to deny birthright citizenship is in direct violation of the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision from June, Barbara v.
