⏳ Uploaded Your Divorce Papers? Why the Clock Still Isn't Running | Los Angeles Divorce Uploading divorce documents can feel like progress—but in California, it doesn't automatically start the six-month waiting period. In this video, we explain why filing or uploading paperwork alone doesn't move your divorce timeline forward, how cases can quietly stall when service hasn't been completed, and why silence from the court doesn't always mean success. Divorce661 coordinates proper service, complete filings, and timeline tracking, so your divorce clock actually starts when it should—and keeps moving instead of sitting unnoticed.

In this teaching, we begin a new series titled “The Courts of Heaven.”This session lays the foundation by unveiling the judicial nature of God, the legal structure of the spiritual realm, and why life itself operates within laws, boundaries, and divine order, whether we are aware of them or not.

We continue our teaching series on The Courts of Heaven by laying the foundation: What is a court, and why does it exist?God is not only Father, He is Judge. And His courts are not established for our destruction, but for the preservation of law and life.In this session, we explore the structure of divine justice, the purpose of law, and the power of witnesses, beginning with the first witness in Scripture: blood. This teaching will reshape how you understand justice, repentance, responsibility, and the blood of Jesus.

Judge Thomas G. Moukawsher is a Connecticut complex litigation judge and former lawyer, legislator and lobbyist. He is the author of “The Common Flaw: Needless Complexity in the Courts and 50 Ways to Reduce it.”    He recently authored various articles on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling and what it means. President Trump has taken the country into full retreat of world leadership by withdrawing from several international organizations such as the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Agreement.  Most hard hit are vital UN agencies that directly benefit the US. He wants to divide the world into fiefdom of dominance by China, Russia and the US, powered and legalized by might makes right, rather than depend on the Rule of Law. As the US voluntarily sidelines itself, China will gladly fill the void. Almost 100-years ago, similar actions occurred that destabilized the world and led to two major World Wars.   

The machinery to enable Stephen Miller's darkest deportation dreams is both tangible and legal. In this week's show, Dahlia Lithwick explores the statutory and regulatory foundations of the Trump administration's expanding network of detention camps, plus the historical background of the vast warehouse system they are using to imprison tens of thousands of migrants. First, she speaks with Linus Chan, who represents Minnesotans detained by ICE, he teaches law at the University of Minnesota School of Law. Chan describes how the most basic right of habeas corpus has been whittled away by the courts to a filament when it comes to immigration law, allowing the federal government to weaponize brutal detention against ordinary Americans. Next, Dahlia is in conversation with Andrea Pitzer, about her chilling and urgent new piece, Building the camps: The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it. It is essential reading (and listening!) in light of the billion dollar detention camp system being built in warehouses near you in cities around the nation. If you want to check if your town is on the list, Andrea recommends checking out Project Salt Box.Want more Amicus? Join Slate Plus to unlock weekly bonus episodes with exclusive legal analysis.

⏳ Filed Your Divorce? Why the Six-Month Clock Might Not Be Running | Los Angeles Divorce Many people believe that once divorce papers are filed, the six-month countdown automatically begins—but in California, that's not how it works. In this video, we explain why filing alone doesn't start the divorce clock, what actually triggers the six-month waiting period, and how cases can quietly stall when Proof of Service is missing or incomplete. Without proper service, time doesn't count—even if everything else looks done. Divorce661 makes sure your documents are filed correctly, served properly, and actively moving through the court system, so your divorce timeline starts when it should and keeps moving forward.

⏳ One Small Divorce Mistake Can Quietly Delay Everything | Los Angeles Divorce In a divorce, speed doesn't move your case forward—accuracy does. In this video, we explain how small filing mistakes, like incorrect dates or skipped instructions, can quietly delay your divorce even when everything else seems complete. Courts don't fix errors—they wait for them to be corrected. Divorce661 carefully reviews dates, instructions, and every filing detail before submission, helping prevent avoidable delays, court rejections, and unnecessary back-and-forth.

"Be glad of your human heart....Pity those who don't feel anything at all.” What if the meteoric rise of the romantasy genre isn't about fae courts and dragon riders—but about our deepest and most human longings? Romantasy has taken the publishing world by storm. While some dismiss these stories as escapist fantasy, we believe their deeper power lies in how they illuminate the human heart. In this series on the alchemy of romantasy, we explore the mythic and psychological currents running through books like A Court of Thorns and Roses and Fourth Wing. Through the lenses of Jung and the Hero's (and Heroine's) Journey, we examine the desire to individuate, to be truly seen, to claim inner sovereignty, to find belonging, security, and freedom—and to join with a soulmate who honors the self we are becoming. Join us as we ask why these stories resonate so profoundly right now, and what they reveal about who we are.

Send us fan responses! Ever notice how a square cap crowns your graduation while a “degree” stamps your worth? We pull at that thread and unravel a deeper pattern: tools, titles, and symbols that quietly script behavior in courts, businesses, and daily life. From the square, compass, and level to phrases like “square deal” and “on the level,” we explore how coded language can unlock doors or tilt decisions—and why learning the code matters if you want a fair shake.We walk through the architecture of influence: how counties echo counts and shires, how registration channels ownership, and how a name printed in all caps can feel like a lever on your nervous system. The theme is agency. If words are sigils and layouts nudge choices, then reading symbols becomes a survival skill. We connect Masonic “working tools” to mental craftsmanship—using the square to align conduct, the compass to bound desire, the hammer to set truth—so you can design your inner court before you enter the outer one.Identity sits at the core. Labels like “black,” “white,” or “native” can flatten lineage and obscure the right to a nationality. We trace the roots of terms, highlight Prince Hall history, and compare public power to private order in tight-knit communities that build strong governance through service, trust, and disciplined language. Along the way, we ask hard questions: Who benefits when you register everything? What happens when a courtroom hears a phrase that sounds ordinary but lands as a password? How do symbols on a fez or a seal reveal alliances or conflicts hiding in plain sight?If you've ever felt boxed in by paperwork, headlines, or the way a room is arranged, this conversation offers a toolkit. Step outside the box, level your speech, square your actions, set a compass around your attention, and pay close attention to the marks that move you. Listen, take notes, and then decide which symbols you'll keep—and which you'll rewrite. If this sparked a shift, subscribe, share with a friend who thinks in symbols, and leave a review telling us the one word you'll never see the same way again.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

President Trump has issued more executive orders in the first year of his second term than he did in all four years of his first. These orders — which have directed government action on issues ranging from immigration to tariffs to the funding of federal agencies — have been met with hundreds of lawsuits filed in federal court.As a result, our federal court system is shaping U.S. public policy more than at any time in recent history, and federal judges are making decisions on many of the most pressing policy issues facing society today.So, what does this new legal landscape mean for American politics, and what does it mean for America's judicial branch?To help make sense of this change (and to put it in historical context), Dan Richards spoke with Judge William Smith, former Chief Judge for the U.S. District Court of Rhode Island. Judge Smith was appointed by George W. Bush in 2002 and retired in 2025; he is also a Senior Fellow in International and Public Affairs at the Watson School, where he currently leads a study group on the role of the courts in U.S. public policy.Transcript coming soon to our website.

REAL SPORTS TALK, M-F 6:00PM

It's a new year and there have been several new developments on the fraud and abuse front. The Department of Justice has a new division that will be focusing specifically on fraud. Given the recent activities of the DOJ and the OIG, health care organizations are sure to be in the crosshairs of government scrutiny. Among other things, provider enrollment procedures are likely to tighten up and take longer. And the enforcement agencies and whistleblowers continue to bring False Claims Act cases based on the Stark Law, although the constitutionality of the qui tam provisions of the FCA is being challenged in the Courts. Join Dan Mulholland and Henry Casale for this informative update in which they will review these developments and suggest some things you can do to minimize compliance risks in the upcoming months.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching court battles unfold like a high-stakes thriller, but here we are in the thick of President Donald Trump's second term, with legal fights erupting everywhere from federal appeals courts to the steps of the Supreme Court. Just last Friday, a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the Trump administration's immigration detention policy, mandating that people arrested in the crackdown stay detained without bond, as reported by Reuters journalist Nate Raymond. It's a win for the White House's tough stance on borders, keeping the momentum from earlier victories.Meanwhile, the Supreme Court is buzzing with Trump-related pleas. On February 6, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, in National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education v. Trump, vacated a nationwide injunction blocking two of Trump's executive orders targeting what he calls illegal diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in federal grantees and contractors. Chief Judge Albert Diaz wrote the opinion, remanding it to the District of Maryland and signaling these orders might survive scrutiny, according to Law and the Workplace analysis. Employers, especially government contractors, are on notice—DEI initiatives could face real enforcement heat now.Over in immigration again, the Trump team filed an official appeal notice in a Haitian Temporary Protected Status suit, challenging U.S. District Judge Ana Reyes' February 2 ruling that halted the cancellation of TPS for Haitian immigrants, per The Columbus Dispatch's Bethany Bruner. Government lawyers even asked Reyes to pause her order by noon that day, pushing the case toward the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and potentially the Supreme Court itself.Redistricting wars rage on too. The Supreme Court recently cleared new maps for Texas and California—Texas gaining five Republican-friendly House seats, California countering with five for Democrats—yet battles like Louisiana v. Callais over race and the Voting Rights Act continue, as detailed by Washington Examiner's Jack Birle. And get this: Trump's lawyers are petitioning the Supreme Court to toss the 2023 E. Jean Carroll civil verdict against him, arguing in their final brief that the president is too busy running the country to fight old allegations, according to USA Today's Maureen Groppe. The justices will conference on it February 20.Don't forget the bigger picture from the Brennan Center: while Trump was convicted in New York City state court in May 2024 for falsifying business records over hush money to adult film actor Stormy Daniels, three criminal cases linger—federal ones in Washington, D.C., for election interference, Fulton County, Georgia, for the same, and Florida over classified documents. Lawfare's litigation tracker counts 298 active challenges to Trump administration actions on national security, plus 14 Supreme Court stays favoring the feds.Even whispers of impeachment surfaced, with ET Now's February 6 livestream claiming the House of Representatives is deciding Trump's fate—though details remain murky amid the chaos. From Venezuelan TPS revocations paused by the Supreme Court despite U.S. District Judge Edward Chen's rulings in San Francisco, to National Guard deployment blocks in Illinois that Trump ultimately pulled back from Chicago and Portland, these shadow docket moves have real-world bite, as SCOTUSblog explains.It's a legal whirlwind, listeners, with Trump fighting on multiple fronts, courts picking sides, and the Supreme Court wielding quiet power that reshapes policies overnight. Stay tuned as these cases collide toward 2026 elections.Thank you for tuning in, listeners. Come back next week for more, and this has been a Quiet Please production.

Scientific research grants were abruptly terminated for hundreds of researchers including those in the ATS community in 2025. Many of these resulted in research that had already been done and was in final stages being discarded. Important studies done with community collaboration are at risk. Neeta Thakur, MD, of the University of California San Francisco, was one such researcher. Her EPA grant to study the effects of wildfire smoke on vulnerable communities was abruptly terminated. Dr. Thakur discusses her experience receiving the cuts, collaborating with other researchers on a lawsuit to restore the funding and finish the research, and how these cuts will affect the future of health and patient outcomes with Air Health Our Health host Erika Moseson, MD, MA.

In this episode of our Defensible Decisions podcast, Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham) sits down with Nonnie Shivers (office managing shareholder, Phoenix) to discuss the implications for employers following EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas's social media video soliciting discrimination charges from white males. Scott, who is chair of the firm's Workforce Analytics and Compliance Practice Group, and Nonnie, who is co-chair of the firm's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Compliance Practice Group, delve into historical and recent Supreme Court decisions like Muldrow and Ames, which affirm the viability of such claims and expand the definition of actionable harm. The conversation emphasizes critical best practices for employers, including the necessity of thorough investigations, accurate position statements, comprehensive real-time documentation of employment decisions, and updated, inclusive training modules, especially given the continued risk of disparate impact claims and potential fast-tracked EEOC investigations.

The Montana GOP completed its sweep of all state and federal offices in 2024. This year the party is putting greater focus on another branch of government – the judiciary. Montana Republicans laid-out their priorities during their winter kickoff in Great Falls over the weekend.

Bright lights, louder headlines, and a legal backbone strong enough to hold the biggest cultural moment of the year. We take you past the scoreboard and into the systems that make the Super Bowl work: broadcast rights that cross borders, trademarks that protect trust, and licensing strategies that turn 15 minutes of halftime into global memory. Along the way, we unpack the real moves behind “The Big Game,” from satellite transmissions and domain seizures to creative constraints that spark better ads, cleaner stages, and fewer courtrooms.We start with the money plays—why transmissions count as public performances and how that doctrine funds the spectacle you watch on Sunday. Then we head online, where domain names masquerade as jerseys and UDRP panels yank them back before kickoff. The anti-piracy blitz gets real with Operation In Our Sites, a coordinated push that seizes illegal streaming hubs and undercuts counterfeit merch so legitimate broadcasts and brands can win the night.Advertising sits on a razor's edge. We explore the Tom Waits soundalike ruling to show how a voice can be identity, not a shortcut, and revisit the Beastie Boys' stance to prove “not an ad ad” is still advertising when it moves product. Music is protected IP even when your campaign hides outside the 30-second slot, and endorsement risk turns on what viewers feel, not what disclaimers claim. That nuance becomes a blueprint for modern marketers: leverage cultural moments without impersonating people or implying NFL sponsorship.Ambush marketing gets a fair shake, too. Courts have long allowed expressive references to major events while drawing a hard line at official-looking promotion. We share practical examples—billboards near stadiums, social posts that capture live moments, playful language aimed at parties and community—that ride the wave without borrowing league equity. And we end on the most surprising truth: halftime stays lawsuit-free not by luck, but by ruthless planning. Every song, visual, and contract is cleared early so art can soar at speed.If you care about creativity, brand safety, or the craft of putting culture on a clock, this conversation maps the terrain.

In the latest episode of “Tax Stuff You Should Know,” hosts Bob Pluth and Gene Magidenko unpack the CFM Insurance decision, spotlighting the complexities of captive insurance arrangements and the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) scrutiny of them. They underscore the importance of tax planning needing to correspond with economic and substantive reality, the audit risks, including those tied to refund claims, and the implications of the IRS' Dirty Dozen list. The discussion also stresses the importance of meticulous documentation and legal compliance, and notes that reliance on qualified professional advice can help mitigate penalties. Takeaways - Captive insurance companies must operate as bona fide insurance providers. - The IRS continues to flag certain planning strategies as high risk. - Taxpayers must maintain thorough documentation and comply with legal requirements. - Courts focus on the substance of a transaction or structure rather than its form. - Good-faith reliance on competent tax advice may mitigate penalties. - Arrangements that promise outsized tax benefits warrant skepticism.

In this episode of Peak Daily, Jay Rosenthal flies solo to bring you the top stories in Canadian and global business.

All this and more in under 10 minutes on your Peak Daily for Monday, February 9, 2026.

According to Marc Elias, Dahlia Lithwick's guest on Amicus, “This week will be looked back on as a pivot point in terms of how the midterms play out.” Elias is a nationally recognized authority on voting rights, redistricting and campaign finance law. He is Chair of Elias Law Group and founder of Democracy Docket. In the past few weeks, Donald Trump's election denialism has kicked into high gear, just as his poll numbers hit new lows. Elias tells us the FBI/DNI raid to seize ballots in Fulton County, Georgia, and Steve Bannon's new threats to surround polling places with ICE officers in November, show an administration that is prototyping new mechanisms for election subversion and voter suppression. But the public has power in this scenario, especially if they start paying attention to elections and voting rights now, rather than the day before November 3rd, 2026.Want more Amicus?

⚖️ Kids and Assets Still Matter | Los Angeles Divorce California passed a new divorce law—but that doesn't mean courts changed how divorces actually work. When a law is approved, courts still need new forms, updated instructions, and revised filing systems before anything changes in real cases. Until that happens, judges and clerks continue using the same procedures already in place. This video explains why headlines can be misleading—and what Los Angeles divorce courts are actually doing right now.

Jeff Bliss reports that while Governor Newsom courts national attention for 2028, California suffers from job losses, failing education, and stalled infrastructure projects, frustrating local voters who see neglect.1900 UCLA

Independent investigative journalism, broadcasting, trouble-making and muckraking with Brad Friedman of BradBlog.com

Second Amendment attorney Daniel Schmutter joins Cam to discuss the amicus brief he authored on behalf of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and Gun Owners Action League in U.S. v. Hemani, which addresses the troubling mindset from some courts when it comes to finding historic analogues that support modern day gun regulations.

The two-party system is a mirage, and unelected judges are destroying America. It's time for a new 1776. In this episode, I expose the hard truth: Elections have become meaningless. America has become a one-party system, where Republicans and Democrats differ in rhetoric but govern the same when it matters most — especially on spending, the economy, immigration, and sovereignty. Worse, even when voters demand change, judicial supremacy overrides the will of the people. Unelected judges now function as super-legislators, blocking enforcement of immigration law, nullifying state authority, and shredding the Constitution — all without accountability.  As we approach the 250th anniversary of the American founding,  we are facing a crisis deeper than any election cycle — a system in which voting no longer governs the governed.

Lawyers love legal reasoning. It promises a clean, clear path through sticky, tricky territory. But legal reasoning can enable grotesque real-world outcomes, like torture, or arresting journalists, or masked government agents detaining and disappearing people. On this week's Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick is in conversation with Joseph Margulies, Professor of Practice of Government at Cornell University. Margulies litigated some of the biggest cases of egregious human rights violations of the post-9/11 “War on Terror”, an experience that informed his recent piece in the Boston Review: The Moral Stupefaction of America. Margulies explains how, when we allow obscure legal language to overshadow moral imperatives, we can end up in very dark places. The line from waterboarding at black sites to executing American citizens in the streets is a straight one. And there will be a lawyer willing to write a memo for all of it. Want more Amicus?
