Show Notes
Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo are back on the top-rated Legal AF podcast and debating: last night’s Joint address and it's impact on federal cases about the role of DOGE and Musk as Trump confesses that Musk runs DOGE, and does a fist bump with a very uncomfortable looking Chief Justice Roberts; The Supreme Court's two bombshell rulings, one forcing the Trump Administration to pay $2 billion in humanitarian aid asap; and the other, allowing raw sewage to end up in your water supply (yuck); 2 new summary judgment orders forcing Trump to immediately rehire fired government watchdogs who are responsible for illegal firing of workers; a new filing by Trump's new lawyers of an appeal brief about Trump's continued efforts to transfer his felony criminal conviction from state to federal appeals court; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
