With a big "FU" to the federal judiciary and the American People, Senate Republicans confirm Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, Emil Bove, to the 3rd Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.The Republicans didn't care that Bove was credibly accused of telling DOJ lawyers that they would need to tell federal court judges "FU" and defy their court orders if those orders interfered with Trump's deportation efforts.In a related story, Attorney General Pam Bondi seemed to take Bove's advice. In a midnight filing in the Epstein and Maxwell grand jury transcripts matter, Bondi refused to comply with a judge's directive to state whether, before filing the motion to unseal, the Government (meaning the DOJ) notified the victims of the motion to unseal.Glenn reviews these two sad developments that find the DOJ flailing and failing as an institution.For nightly live Law Talks, please join Glenn on Substack: glennkirschner.substack.comIf you're interested in supporting our all-volunteer efforts, you can become a Team Justice patron at: / glennkirschner If you'd like to support Glenn and buy Team Justice and Justice Matters merchandise visit:https://shop.spreadshirt.com/glennkir...Check out Glenn's website at https://glennkirschner.com/Follow Glenn on:Threads: https://www.threads.net/glennkirschner2Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glennkirschner2Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/glennkirsch...Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/glennkirschn...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/glennkirschner2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Senate on Tuesday confirmed Emil Bove as a federal appeals court judge, a lifetime appointment to a perch one rung below the U.S. Supreme Court. Bove, who served as President Donald Trump's personal attorney, ascended to the top ranks of the Justice Department when Trump returned to office in January. Ahead of his Senate confirmation, he became the subject of multiple whistleblower complaints, with some alleging Bove told DOJ subordinates they may need to ignore court orders to enact Trump's agenda (Bove denies the allegations). Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe joins us to talk about what Bove's confirmation signals to the rank and file at the DOJ. He also weighs in on what's happening at his former agency right now and — maybe more importantly — what's not happening.And in headlines: President Donald Trump announced a new 25 percent tariff on India ahead of his Aug. 1 deals deadline, former Vice President President Kamala Harris announced she won't run for governor of California next year, and the Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged for a fifth time this year.Show Notes:Call Congress – 202-224-3121Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

PART I The guy who is eternally on the Enemies List, the 45th and 47th president -- aka Vladdy's Boy, aka Don the Con, aka F*ckboi Von Clownface -- is getting an extra special mention this week. Every week, there are a million reasons to nominate Trump the Chump, but this week, Trump revealed his pathetic nature for all of MAGA to bear witness. First, let us tee this up. Virginia Guiffre -- who was a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and others -- was critical to getting justice for the hundreds of victims. In a clip that went viral on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that he *knew* who Virginia Guiffre was, that she'd worked as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago, and that Epstein had "stolen" her from him. What Trump is really saying is that Guiffre was property, he was aware that she was being trafficked, and groomed/raped by sexual predators. He didn't care about Guiffre, only his ego, and that Epstein had gotten one over on him.  Trump is no stranger to who or what Epstein was -- he joked that Epstein "liked girls on the younger side" and that, in Trump's 50th birthday card to Epstein, they shared a "wonderful secret." Distractions are still being volleyed against the wall -- but Trump knows he's hiding who he is and, this time, he can't outrun it.   PART II Emil Bove -- who looks like a part-time crypt-keeper -- was confirmed to the federal bench this week, and it's plain as day that Trump will put Bove onto the Supreme Court bench. The Senate was aware that Bove had lied to them and was involved in several DOJ cover-ups, and yet they ran his nomination up the chain. The fact that one president will have seated four of the Supreme Court justices should raise the question: Is this really what's best for America? Bove is a particular corrupt flavor -- there's a MOB lawyer vibe to this guy. (Shut up, John Thune, no one wants to hear you wimper your phony "hope" for what you *think* he will do.) There's nothing the Senate won't do for Trump now. .

7.30.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Kamala Harris not running for Gov, Trump Taps Proud Boy Joe Kent, Bove Confirmed, Medicaid turns 60 After serious thought, former Vice President Kamala Harris decides not to run for governor of California. The twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump, wants Proud Boy Joe Kent to be the next director of the National Counterterrorism Center.

On Tuesday, the Senate voted 50–49 to confirm Emil Bove to a lifetime judgeship on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) joined all Democrats in opposing Bove's nomination; Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) did not vote. The confirmation follows a protracted fight over Bove's nomination, which included whistleblower reports that Bove acted unethically and abused his power in previous roles.Tangle LIVE tickets are available!We're excited to announce that our third installment of Tangle Live will be held on October 24, 2025, at the Irvine Barclay Theatre in Irvine, California.

A former lawyer for Donald Trump has been confirmed by the Senate as an appeals court judge. AP correspondent Ben Thomas reports.

This Day in Legal History: Medicare and Medicaid Signed into BeingOn July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of 1965 into law, creating the Medicare and Medicaid programs. The signing took place at the Truman Library in Independence, Missouri, with former President Harry S. Truman—an early advocate for national health insurance—present and symbolically receiving the first Medicare card. Medicare was designed to provide hospital and medical insurance to Americans aged 65 and older, regardless of income or medical history. Medicaid, created alongside Medicare, offered healthcare assistance to low-income individuals and families.At the time, nearly half of Americans over 65 had no health insurance. The passage of Medicare was a landmark achievement of Johnson's Great Society initiative and built on decades of political struggle over healthcare reform. The legislation amended Title XVIII of the Social Security Act and was strongly opposed by many in the medical establishment and conservative politicians who labeled it as “socialized medicine.” Nevertheless, the program gained rapid popularity and provided immediate relief to millions.Administered by the federal government, Medicare initially had two parts: Part A, covering hospital insurance, and Part B, covering outpatient and physician services. It has since evolved to include prescription drug coverage (Part D) and options for private plans (Medicare Advantage). The law reshaped the American healthcare landscape and established the principle that access to healthcare for seniors was a federal responsibility.The U.S. Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a former lawyer for Donald Trump and senior Justice Department official, to a lifetime seat on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a narrow 50-49 vote. Bove faced unified Democratic opposition and criticism from over 900 former DOJ employees, who claimed he undermined the department's integrity. His nomination prompted a Democratic walkout during the Senate Judiciary Committee's vote and drew sharp condemnation from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.Despite controversy, Republicans praised Bove's background as a federal terrorism prosecutor and his legal work defending Trump in several criminal cases. His confirmation shifts the appellate court's balance back in favor of Republican appointees. Critics cited Bove's alleged directives that defied judicial authority and political interference in a corruption case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. Bove denied wrongdoing in both instances. His confirmation is part of Trump's renewed effort in his second term to reshape the judiciary, following over 230 appointments in his first term. Trump has also nominated another close adviser, Jennifer Mascott, to the same court.Trump lawyer Bove confirmed to US appeals court, overcoming Democratic opposition | ReutersBove Confirmed to Appeals Court After Whistleblowers Emerge (1)A White House crypto task force established by President Trump is set to release a highly anticipated report outlining the administration's policy goals for the digital asset sector. The report, expected Wednesday, will address tokenization, market structure legislation, and a regulatory framework for blockchain-based financial products. Created by executive order shortly after Trump took office in January, the group is led by Bo Hines and includes top officials such as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and SEC Chair Paul Atkins.The document is expected to support expanded use of tokenization, which converts traditional assets like stocks and real estate into blockchain-based tokens. The report may call on the SEC to create a framework enabling firms like Coinbase to offer tokenized securities, though specific language remains under wraps. It will also outline the White House's preferences for crypto legislation currently advancing in Congress, including follow-up to the recently passed stablecoin law.Trump has made pro-crypto policies a centerpiece of his administration, reversing many of the enforcement actions taken under President Biden, such as lawsuits against Coinbase and Binance. While the industry sees the report as a roadmap for mainstream integration, concerns remain about conflicts of interest, particularly given Trump's financial ties to crypto ventures and meme coins. The administration has denied any ethical violations.White House set to unveil closely watched crypto policy report | ReutersThe Trump administration has formally requested the release of grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, citing public interest and mounting pressure over the government's handling of the sex trafficking cases. Prosecutors filed late-night motions with U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, arguing that the sealed testimony should now be disclosed, though the judges had previously asked for stronger legal justification. Grand jury records are typically secret, with limited exceptions for disclosure.Trump said he directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the unsealing after the Justice Department reaffirmed its conclusion that Epstein died by suicide and that there was no list of elite clients—a stance that frustrated some Trump supporters who suspect a cover-up. Epstein died in 2019 before his trial; Maxwell, convicted in 2021, is serving a 20-year sentence and has appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction.In a related effort, a Florida judge recently denied a separate request to release grand jury records from earlier state investigations into Epstein, ruling they did not meet legal exceptions. Even if the federal judges allow the current transcripts to be unsealed, the documents may not reveal new information, since much of the testimony was covered during Maxwell's trial. The transcripts also wouldn't encompass the full scope of investigative material held by the government.Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump lawyer, recently met with Maxwell for two days, reportedly seeking any names or evidence she could provide about others potentially involved. Neither Blanche nor Maxwell's attorney has commented in detail on those meetings.Trump administration asks judges to release Epstein, Maxwell grand jury transcripts | ReutersA Massachusetts jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay over $42 million to Paul Lovell, who developed mesothelioma after decades of using the company's talc products. Lovell and his wife sued in 2021, claiming the talc contained asbestos that he unknowingly inhaled, and accused J&J of failing to warn consumers despite knowing the risks. The jury awarded damages for pain, suffering, and medical costs.J&J denied any wrongdoing, calling the verdict “junk science” and saying its products are asbestos-free and safe, with plans to appeal the decision. The company ended U.S. sales of talc-based baby powder in 2020. This case adds to a string of multi-million-dollar verdicts against J&J in talc-related mesothelioma lawsuits, although some have been overturned on appeal.J&J is facing over 63,000 active lawsuits, and possibly up to 100,000 claims in total, most alleging ovarian cancer from talc use. The company's attempts to resolve the claims through bankruptcy have failed in court three times, including a $10 billion settlement proposal rejected in March. The Lovell case is part of ongoing litigation that continues to test J&J's legal strategy and product safety claims.Johnson & Johnson ordered to pay $42M after jury finds talc caused man's cancer | Reuters This is a public episode.

The Senate confirmed Emil Bove, a former lawyer for President Donald Trump, to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in a tight 50-49 vote. Whistleblowers allege Bove encouraged DOJ attorneys to defy court orders and Congress, and his dismissal of a corruption case against NYC Mayor Eric Adams led to several federal prosecutors' resignations. More than 900 former DOJ attorneys warn the appointment threatens judicial integrity.

Emil Bove, Trump's former criminal defense lawyer, has a second whistleblower that's filed a complaint with the DOJ Office of Inspector General, claiming that Bove promoted DOJ attorneys to disobey federal court orders related to the removal without due process of migrants. Michael Popok also calls out the obscene practice of the DOJ lobbying the public to support Bove for what is supposed to be an “independent” federal judge lifetime appointment, reminding everyone that Bove will be “Trump's Judge” if confirmed this week.

President Trump helped reshape the federal courts during his first term in office. And he relied heavily on the Federalist Society in that effort, which helped him zero in on judges with a conservative, originalist interpretation of the constitution.Now the nominations machinery is restarting, and Trump's most controversial judicial nominee is only one step away from the federal bench.His name is Emil Bove. During his first term, Trump appointed scores of originalists to the federal bench– a victory for the conservative legal movement.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Clay: Sorry, NY The Senate’s landmark vote to defund PBS and NPR, a conservative goal that has been decades in the making. Clay and Buck frame this as a generational shift in media accountability, pending final approval from the House. The rise of Zohran Mamdani, a New York City mayoral candidate whose far-left platform includes abolishing private property and implementing socialist economic reforms. Clay and Buck debate whether Republicans should strategically allow Mamdani to win, arguing that his radicalism could serve as a wake-up call for voters and galvanize GOP turnout in the 2026 midterms. They suggest that Democrats embracing Mamdani could backfire nationally, especially in swing districts. The Audience Weighs In Calls and emails split between defending New York City and supporting Clay’s provocative idea of “sacrificing” NYC to expose Democratic extremism. The hosts also highlight Elizabeth Warren’s public distancing from Mamdani, interpreting it as a sign of internal Democratic discomfort with his ideology. Alan Dershowitz on Epstein Alan Dershowitz joins the show to discuss the Jeffrey Epstein case, recent developments in the DOJ, and media misinformation. Dershowitz defends Trump against claims of involvement in Epstein’s crimes, asserting there is no credible evidence linking Trump to any wrongdoing. He also debunks conspiracy theories about Epstein’s ties to Israeli intelligence, calling them baseless and antisemitic. Dershowitz advocates for full transparency in the Epstein files, including both accusations and exculpatory evidence, to ensure fairness in public judgment. TN Sen. Marsha Blackburn Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, offering deep insights into the latest conservative legislative victories and political developments. The hour opens with Blackburn discussing the Senate’s advancement of a major rescission package, which includes efforts to defund NPR and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—an initiative dating back to the Reagan era. She highlights the elimination of wasteful federal spending, such as funding for vegan food in Zambia and electric buses in Rwanda, projecting a potential $90 billion in savings over a decade. The conversation shifts to President Trump’s early-term accomplishments, with Blackburn praising his swift action on the economy, border security, and crime. She emphasizes his commitment to promises made, including securing the southern border, reducing inflation, and rebuilding the military. The hosts and Blackburn also discuss the “No Tax on Tips” bill and a proposed $6,000 annual Social Security tax deduction for seniors, framing these as key components of the GOP’s 2024 platform. Judicial appointments take center stage as Blackburn details the contentious confirmation of Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Despite Democratic opposition due to Bove’s past legal defense of Trump, Republicans pushed the nomination through committee. Blackburn criticizes Democrats for obstructing judicial and law enforcement appointments, urging the GOP to push confirmations forward without delay. The hour also explores Tennessee’s economic success, with Blackburn crediting the state’s constitutional ban on income tax and fiscally conservative governance for attracting businesses and residents. She contrasts this with the rise of far-left politics in cities like New York, referencing the candidacy of Zohran Mamdani and warning of the dangers of socialist policies.

Michael Popok at The Intersection, as he takes on and takes down: 1) Trump, his close Epstein relationship and now MAGA now suspects that Trump is IN the covered-up files, and is not dismantling the deep state and chasing this conspiracy because he is "soft" on pedophilia and protecting Children; 2) scandal-scarred AG Pam Bondi leading a brain-drain at the DOJ enabled by the Supreme Court, as 70 Trump DOJ lawyers have quit rather than defend his policies in Court, and Bondi has fired another 2 dozen senior lawyers and replaced them with partisan hacks; 3) Trump lackey and former criminal defense lawyer Emil Bove may not be getting that coveted appeals court seat after all, as Senator Corey Booker calls for the whistleblowers to come forward and testify against Bove; 4) Trump-enomics is failing, as Americans suffer with much higher prices on everything, as Trump warps his economic policies by being beholden to the Crypto industry, and so much more at the intersection of law, politics and the defense of our democracy.

Emmanuel Bove schildert Szenen aus dem Leben eines Kriegsinvaliden, der mit seiner niedrigen Rente im Paris der zwanziger Jahre lebt und sich nichts sehnlicher wünscht, als einen Freund zu haben, um seiner Einsamkeit zu entrinnen. Die Versuche, die er in dieser Richtung unternimmt, scheitern jedoch alle. Das Besondere an diesem Buch sahen Kritiker weniger in der Geschichte, die es erzählt, sondern in seiner Schreibweise, die als “wahrhaftig” empfunden wurde. Hörspiel nach dem gleichnamigen Roman von Emmanuel Bove Aus dem Französischen von Peter Handke Mit: Markus Boysen, Hanna Köhler, Walter Renneisen, Irene Clarin, Jürgen Schornagel, Barbara Freier Hörspielbearbeitung und Regie: Ernst Wendt SDR 1984

Who says there is no proof that Trump's DOJ senior leadership told its lawyers to tell federal judges to go “f' themselves” about Trump's deportation and removal activities?, After the DOJ's Emil Bove denied in his appeals court judge confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee that he uttered those words, the whistleblower found real time texts that prove that he did and threw Pam Bondi under the boss for good measure. Michael Popok explains that if this doesn't tank Bove's appeal court nomination, it will certainly catch the attention of Chief Judge Boasberg and Judge Xinis who were on the receiving end of the “f u”.

OA1170 - This Rapid Response Friday it's Boh-vey (yes that is how you pronounce it, probably) all day--as in former Trump defense attorney and current Trump henchman Emil Bove, now up for a seat formerly occupied by Samuel Alito on the Third Circuit. Matt ties together several different stories from the news--from January 6th to the Eric Adams prosecution to DOJ's deportations in violation of court orders--together with this week's stunning 27-page account from deep inside the DOJ provided by a former loyalist. Finally, in today's footnote: a pro se plaintiff invents a completely new way for AI to be useless in the courtroom Government's Motion to Clarify in D.H.S.. v. D.V.D.:  (filed shortly after we recorded on 6/27/25) The U.S. Supreme Court's order in D.H.S. v. D.V.D. (6/23/25)  Day 1 of Emil Bove's confirmation hearing (6/25/26) Letter filed by Government Accountability Project on behalf of Erez Reuveni (6/25/25) Oral arguments before New York's First Appellate Division (3/26/25)(clip starts at 19:29) Federal magistrate Barbara Holmes's detention review decision in U.S. v. Kilmar Abrego Garcia (6/22/25)  

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Benjamin Wittes and Natalie Orpett, and University of Virginia School of Law professor Ashley Deeks, to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Bracing for Fallout.” In a surprise move, President Trump joined Israel's military campaign against Iran over the weekend, using a specialized U.S. ordinance to hit Iranian nuclear sites that were beyond Israel's early reach. It's unclear to what extent the attack set back Iran's nuclear ambitions, and debates continue to rage whether the president's actions were wise or legal. But it did trigger an Iranian response against U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf — action that was shortly followed by a tentative U.S.-backed ceasefire between Iran and Israel. What best explains the president's decision to join the military campaign? And what will the consequences be, both in the region and back home in the United States?“Destinations Unknown.” In a short, unexplained opinion in the matter of DHS v. DVD this past week, the Supreme Court stayed a lower court preliminary injunction that had barred the Trump administration from removing immigrants to third countries with minimal procedural protections against threats of torture and other mistreatment. But the exact ramifications of this holding are unclear, as the Justice Department has now returned to the Court asking for clarification as to whether its ruling also invalidates a later order applying the class-wide prohibition in the initial preliminary injunction to a specific group of individuals. What explains the Supreme Court's odd approach in this case? And what could its broader ramifications be for the Trump administration's immigration agenda?“‘Bove the Law.” A now-public internal Justice Department whistleblower report alleges that Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General—and current Third Circuit nominee—Emil Bove endorsed plans to disregard judicial orders that would have obstructed the removal of foreign nationals in directing the Department of Homeland Security that it did not need to return certain deportation flights already in the air after a judge directed as much from the bench. How serious a transgression has Bove committed if these allegations are true? And what impact will they have on his Third Circuit confirmation?In object lessons, forget day-of-the-week underpants (or pronghorn shirts)! Ben spurs on a need for more day-of-the-week monsters with the last weather report you'll ever need. Natalie is escaping, not just from reality but also from the heat, with her local bookstore, East City Bookshop. Scott shared the heartbreaking news that The Atlantic is stealing yet another Rational Security co-host emeritus as our beloved Quinta Jurecic begins her next crazy venture beneath the skies (Quinta, we miss you already!). And Ashley, channeling our bereavement at Quinta's departure, recommends Alone on the History Channel.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

8:00AM Hour 3 Joe DiBiase and Sal Capaccio are joined by Matt Bove to discuss the JJ Peterka news. Bove shares his thoughts on Peterka and the trade return.

Tonight on The Last Word: A father of three Marines is beaten and arrested by masked federal agents in California. Also, Democrats demand answers on delayed Iran briefings. Plus, GOP senators are split over Medicaid cuts in the budget bill. And Donald Trump is expected to meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the NATO summit. Sen. Adam Schiff, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, and Amb. Michael McFaul join Lawrence O'Donnell.

In a rare interview since he officially retired last year after a distinguished 54 year career on Wall Street, DICK BOVE, 84, spells out his concerns for the US and global financial system. "I think the financial system of the US has lost its footing," BOVE says in the interview, breaking his silence since his retirement. "I think as this becomes more evident, it is going to have a tremendously negative impact on the economy." Still, his may not be a typical retirement for a Wall Street veteran who was rarely far from the media spotlight, during his long career as an outspoken and frequently quoted financial analyst. He's busy writing a major book out of his home office in Florida. The blockuster book is his in-depth analysis of how a brutal war-like confrontation between the two major powers, the US and China, would unfold.In our interview, BOVE challenges the conventional wisdom on what is driving the rise in the stock market. "Analysis of the market is not being driven by the right theories," says Bove who covered US banks in his latter years on Wall Street.. "We've seen tremendous uncertainty the past 12 months yet the market keeps doing quite well, touching all-time highs." Find out what is driving the rise in equities despite wars, upheavals, tariffs and deep-seated fears, according to BOVE.BOVE covers a range of interconnected themes and developments from the fued between DONALD TRUMP and ELON MUSK (and why it matters); his praise for some of TRUMP's policies and his concerns for his accumulation of a vast personal position in cryptocurrency. "He has to protect the dollar but he is making a fortune on crypto," says BOVE. Both markets can't successfully co-exist if crypto currency ultimately overwhelms the US dollar, BOVE argues. BOVE believes TRUMPS holdings in crypto - a huge $3 billion position, by some estimates - is a conflict of interest for the President, the biggest conflict, he asserts, of any President dating as far back as George Washington.The author of Guardians of Prosperity: Why America Needs Big Banks (2013), BOVE is highly regarded for his life-long study of the US finanancial system and banks, as well as of the Federal Reserve. "US banks at the moment are the best hope of salvaging the financial system," he says. As for the US Federal Reserve, BOVE quips, "If the Fed was a private entity, it would be bankrupt." Then there is the creaky US Social Security, inching closer to financial catastrophe. BOVE's recommendation? Promote a longer work life, well beyond the standard 65 years for many workers with exceptions for the sick and infirm.To Contact us: byrnedesk@gmail.com

8:00AM Hour 3 Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase are joined by Matthew Bove to discuss his new series remembering the Bills stadium ahead of it's final year. The guys also touch on JJ Spaun winning the US Open on Sunday.

Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at Article III Project. President Trump Nailed It By Nominating Emil Bove, And The Establishment Meltdown Proves It

I'm standing outside the New York courthouse, just a year after Donald Trump's historic conviction for falsifying business records related to the alleged hush money scheme—hard to believe it's only been twelve months since a jury of twelve New Yorkers delivered that verdict. The courtroom drama was thick, with Trump's legal team, then led by Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, fiercely pushing back at every turn. Inside, Trump's own words echoed through the chamber as he declared, “I won the election in a massive landslide, and the people of this country understand what's gone on. This has been a weaponization of government,” right during sentencing.The battle didn't stop there. Trump's attorneys argued vehemently that the evidence used in his trial—social media posts from his official presidential Twitter account and critical testimony from Hope Hicks, his former communications director—should have been inadmissible. They contended that, especially after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling that expanded the scope of presidential immunity, much of that information couldn't be used against a sitting or former president.But Judge Juan Merchan wasn't persuaded. Even before Trump's January sentencing, his legal team tried to leverage that Supreme Court decision to get the case thrown out, yet both New York appeals courts and the Supreme Court itself rejected the effort. In a brief unsigned opinion, the nation's highest court said, “The alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump's state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal.”Despite these setbacks, Trump's legal defense bench has evolved. Todd Blanche and Emil Bove have since risen to top positions at the Department of Justice. Just this week, Trump announced plans to nominate Bove—who orchestrated a significant purge at the DOJ before his Senate confirmation—to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. It's a striking twist, considering Bove's role in defending Trump during his most contentious legal battles.Meanwhile, legal scrutiny over Trump's executive actions continues beyond the hush money case. On May 29, a federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled against Trump's emergency tariffs, with Judge Rudolph Contreras deeming them unlawful and issuing a preliminary injunction. The Department of Justice is expected to seek a review, but the momentum in federal court is clear: Trump's legal and political maneuvers are under intense examination on multiple fronts.As the anniversary of his conviction marks another chapter in this unprecedented saga, Donald Trump stands as both a former president and a criminal defendant, tenaciously fighting legal battles that continue to shape the national conversation and test the boundaries of presidential power and accountability.

This conversation cracked something wide open. Samantha Bove and I went deep into the sacred mess of love, healing, and learning to receive—not just romance, but support, softness, and pleasure without apology. Samantha is a women's intuition mentor and Reiki teacher and in this conversation we talked about the quiet grief of being “easy to love” but not fully chosen, the difference between a partner's potential and prophecy, and the holy work of rebuilding when your heart still remembers what hurt. You'll feel the ache. You'll feel the power. You'll feel seen.   This isn't a roadmap—it's a remembering. For the woman learning to trust her timing, honor her truth, and soften into the version of love that doesn't require over-performing to be held.   Inside This Episode: Embracing singlehood without waiting Softness as power The burden of being the “easy one” Rewiring to receive love, support & sex without shame Quirks, prophecy, and choosing reality over potential Reclaiming truth as a love language Why pleasure is a spiritual practice   Why This One Matters: Because love doesn't have to hurt to be real.

This week, Scott sat down with his colleagues Tyler McBrien and Roger Parloff, as well as special guest Claire Meynial, U.S. correspondent for Le Point, to talk over the week's big national security news, including:“Make Europe Aghast Again.” Vice President J.D. Vance stunned the Munich Security Conference last week with remarks that criticized European allies for suppressing far-right and anti-immigration voices while playing down threats from China and Russia. Combined with the Trump administration's past hostility to Transatlantic relationships, many are taking Vance's as a sign of a downgrade in the U.S.-Europe relationship. But is this overstating things? And how far can the Trump administration adjust the relationship on its own, even if it wanted to?“I Would Do Anything for Bove, but I Won't Do That.” (Credit to Robert Anderson, via Mike Stern.) The resignation of seven Justice Department attorneys over their refusal to move to dismiss charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams at the direction of acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove has brought national attention to the Trump administration's apparent intent to use its discretion over criminal prosecution as a policy tool to advance its immigration and potentially other agendas. But what do these recent events tell us about the potential for—and limits on—such a strategy? “Animus Instinct.” The legal challenge to President Trump's executive order banning transgender individuals from military service and halting gender-affirming care finally had a hearing in federal court this week. And in a barnburner, U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes raked the Justice Department over the coals, querying whether the ban was the result of “animus.” But how big a difference will her line of inquiry make in the end? Is there any realistic chance the courts will intervene?For object lessons, Roger recommended a visit to the Holocaust Museum as an opportunity for a sober reflection. Tyler passed along Noah Schachtman's portrait of the players in the Eric Adams resignation scandal in Vanity Fair. Scott passed along his new favorite vegetarian pasta recipe, pasta al sugo finto. And Claire discussed some of her work on abortion rights in advance of International Women's Day on March 8, including research into the Comstock Act. We value your feedback!

Tonight on The Last Word: Democrats demand answers on Elon Musk's access into government agencies. Plus, Donald Trump lies calling Ukraine's Zelenskyy a ‘dictator.' And Donald Trump endorses a GOP plan that could cut Medicaid. Adam Klasfeld, Andrew Weissmann, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, and Norm Ornstein join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Is the Trump Justice Department establishing a precedent that those who promote the administration's agenda can evade criminal accountability?  In an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance and CAFE Contributor Elie Honig, former SDNY Assistant U.S. Attorney, break down the alleged quid pro quo between the Trump administration and NYC Mayor Eric Adams.  In a recent letter, former interim SDNY U.S. Attorney Danielle Sassoon accused acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove of seeking dismissal of the Adams case to further President Trump's hardline immigration policies. In the full episode, Joyce and Elie further discuss the turmoil at DOJ stemming from the Adams case: – The resignations of Sassoon, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten, and leaders of DOJ's public integrity unit after they refused to comply with Bove's demands; and – The procedure for federal prosecutors to seek dismissal of criminal charges and the upcoming court hearing on the Adams dismissal request.
