  • Timely and factual defense of democracy and the rule of law.

    Michael Popok does a great job providing timely content with context and expertise as a practicing attorney. He uses the Constitution and SCOTUS rulings and dissenting opinions, as well as his knowledge of the people and personalities in the U.S. Article 3 Judicial System from his decades of work in that system.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trump Headed for Rude Awakening with Instant Mistake?!?
Q: How is this run through the vice president's office? Who is the point person for you guys in your discussions with them?
Coordination occurs through federal and state partners with the vice president's task force referenced as a North Star, while the on-the-ground work is managed by the relevant departments (CMS, Medicaid, Medicare) and state health care services, with staff-level interactions.
Trump Headed for Rude Awakening with Instant Mistake?!?
Q: Bonta. How is this working in reality?
The approach combines federal funding with state execution, involving inspectors general, civil and criminal units, and a process that prioritizes protecting funds for Californians while pursuing fraud enforcement; the effort is described as longstanding and ongoing rather than a sudden shift.
Supreme Court Prepares Election Defining Ruling!!!
Q: What is your major concern on the FDA side right now, especially with the public health and policy implications of the ongoing review?
Aarons argues the FDA and administration must avoid politicizing medical care, emphasizes the safety and effectiveness of Mifepristone based on decades of evidence, and criticizes procedural delays and politically motivated challenges that could restrict access.
Supreme Court Prepares Election Defining Ruling!!!
Q: So up until May 11th, medication abortions through methoprestone are currently being permitted by the Supreme Court. But what could happen next and what is your group doing about it?
Jessica Aarons explains the most consequential abortion case since Dobbs, outlines potential outcomes for the stay and the broader access landscape, and describes how the ACLU and allied groups are briefing, mobilizing, and preparing amicus submissions to influence the court and public policy.
Trump Shredded by Federal Judge at Emergency Hearing
Q: How does this case relate to broader concerns about voting rights and democratic norms?
Popok and Perryman connect the case to wider issues of civil rights and voting access, arguing that protecting public spaces and the rule of law is essential to safeguarding democracy and preventing attempts to dilute voting rights or centralize power.
