In breaking news, a judge has dismissed WITH PREJUDICE the indictment against former Olympian Davey Hearn for maliciously damaging the Reflecting Pool, finding that the prosecution was brought in bad faith and without merit, and that the only reason the DOJ would seek to reinstate it with a new grand jury would be to appease Trump, who is exerting political pressure on them.

OA1301 - IT'S FASCISM RESPONSE FRIDAY, and it's a lot. DOJ just filed a complaint trying to get every single active federal judge in Minnesota booted off immigration cases, and the "evidence" is a judge telling the New York Times the truth. The Supreme Court just let deportations to countries people aren't even from happen again. And we cannot stop laughing about the executive order that just declared this the "era of superintelligence." There's good news too, but you'll have to listen for that. Cases discussed: Complaint Against Judges of the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota (filed under 28 U.S.C. § 351) D.V.D. v. DHS (Supreme Court stay on third-country removals) Trump v. Internal Revenue Service (11th Circuit, the "slush fund" case) CNN et al. v. Trump (White House press access) USPS v. California et al.

In this episode of Straight White American Jesus, Brad Onishi and Dan Miller break down Pete Hegseth's State of the Force speech, which they argue recasts the U.S. military as a Christian crusader army defined by narrow standards of body, gender, and faith. They examine his flattened story of Western civilization, his "appeal to heaven" and "armor of God" language, and the plan to remove bureaucratic oversight from the Office of Religious Affairs. Next, they turn to Senator Eric Schmitt's failed attempt to trap Jack Smith at a congressional hearing, and to Smith's statement that Trump committed serious crimes beyond a reasonable doubt, which got lost in the noise. They then look at new data projecting that roughly 100,000 U.S. churches will close or be repurposed over the next decade, and what that means for claims of a religious resurgence and for Christian nationalism. Reasons for hope include a civic story of shared investment from Zohran Mamdani and the DOJ's 26th loss in its effort to obtain state voter rolls. If you enjoy our work, please subscribe.

Weeks before the midterms, election deniers on Georgia's election board quietly asked Trump's DOJ to intervene. Their letter is full of excuses: attacks on the state's voting machines, demands for last-minute software changes and unsubstantiated claims of "altered records." Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the excuses in the letter and why it fits Trump's long obsession with controlling how Georgia's votes are counted.

In Georgia, DOJ celebrates its 26th courtroom loss in the battle to steal state voter rolls.   An Arizona appeals court overturned a manslaughter sentence because of an absolutely bonkers use of AI.   A judge in DC Superior Court dismissed vandalism charges against Olympic canoeist David Hearn with prejudice.   The Justice Department filed an ethics complaint against almost every judge in the District of Minnesota for talking to the New York Times about what it was like to have their orders blatantly disregarded day after day.   A judge in Washington ruled that the president has no power to fire US Attorneys installed by judges when there is an unfilled vacancy. The three hat dance is so back, baby!   DOOFUS OF THE DAY:    Revisionist historian Geoff Shepard, a former Nixon aide, is making the rounds at DOJ pitching his hot take: "Watergate As Lawfare." The WSJ reports that there's an appetite inside the Justice Department for the theory that all those guys who went to jail for Nixon were persecuted victims.   MAIN SHOW:   JGG v. Trump, the first major case where the Trump DOJ defied a court order, sending hundreds of men to CECOT in El Salvador, is back at the DC Circuit. This week, the entire court sitting en banc, heard oral argument on the issue of whether Judge James Boasberg has the power to do anything about flagrant contempt of his rulings. Audio here!   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   The US Supreme Court, via a 6-3 shadow docket order, stayed two lower court rulings prohibiting the administration from deporting immigrants to third countries without due process, without notice or the opportunity to raise a credible fear or torture or persecution. The New York Times reported that the administration was unable to comply with the court's order to stop, so it immediately ran to the Supreme Court for help, which it got.   US v.

What happens when the lawyer who once represented the IRS switches sides? On Episode 286 of The Lawyer Stories Podcast with Benny Gold, we head to St. Louis, Missouri, for a conversation with Mark C. Milton, Founder and Managing Attorney of Milton Law Group - a tax attorney whose career has taken him from public accounting, to the U.S. Department of Justice Tax Division, to BigLaw, and ultimately to building his own firm. Milton Law Group Mark began his legal career as a DOJ Tax Division Trial Attorney, where he represented the United States in collection matters, refund suits, and complex federal tax litigation across the country. He later practiced at an AmLaw 100 firm in St. Louis handling tax controversies, white-collar matters, investigations, and business litigation before launching Milton Law Group in 2017. Milton Law Group We talk about what Mark learned from being on the government's side of the table, why taxpayers shouldn't automatically assume the IRS is simply out to get them, and his perspective that the government generally wants taxpayers to get back into compliance and resolve their tax problems. We also get into Mark's entrepreneurial journey and the Summer Tax Summit, the St. Louis event he chairs that brings together tax controversy attorneys, IRS and IRS Criminal Investigation officials, federal judges, and other leaders in the tax world - with some uniquely St. Louis experiences mixed in. Milton Law Group From accounting to the DOJ, BigLaw, tax controversy, white-collar work, entrepreneurship, and building a nationally focused practice from St. Louis - Mark has one heck of a Lawyer Story.

Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the Justice Department must expedite processing of most of Democracy Defenders Fund's FOIA requests concerning Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. DDF had sought records including Epstein and Maxwell investigative files mentioning Donald Trump or Mar-a-Lago, communications among senior DOJ officials such as Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, records discussing how Trump references in the files were handled, calendars and meeting materials, and documents identifying Epstein associates, visitors and flight-log passengers. The judge found that the requests qualified for expedited treatment under DOJ regulations because the Epstein files were plainly a matter of “widespread and exceptional media interest” and because there were legitimate questions about government integrity affecting public confidence. She granted expedited processing in full for DDF's July 22, 2025 request and for most of its July 28 requests, while narrowing portions that had sought records involving virtually any DOJ official to the specific senior officials actually identified in the requests.The court did, however, reject DDF's separate argument that it qualified for expedited processing under FOIA's statutory “compelling need” provision. Kollar-Kotelly found that DDF had not shown it was primarily an information-dissemination organization, concluding that its principal activities were litigation and advocacy rather than journalism or publishing. That distinction did not undo the more important practical result: DOJ still has to move the Epstein-related requests to the front of the line under its own expedited-processing regulation. The September 30, 2026 ruling therefore amounted to a substantial transparency victory for DDF, forcing faster DOJ action on records concerning the government's handling of Epstein materials while stopping short of granting every legal theory DDF advanced.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.dcd.284000.28.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Chairman Omali Yeshitela (founder and Chairman of the African People's Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement) appears in several notable, widely circulated speeches, news interviews, and press conferences. Speeches at Rallies, Conferences, and Debates:Oxford Union Debate (2019): In a widely viewed address ("We Should Embrace a Closer African Union"), he speaks in formal attire to a seated audience, delivering a structured argument on Pan-Africanism, anti-colonialism, and global Black liberation. Plenary & Party Conferences: Videos published by The Burning Spear or APSP channels show him speaking at podiums before energetic crowds, dressed in military-style African liberation fatigues or formal suits, forcefully speaking against imperialism and calling for reparations. Press Conferences and News Interviews (FBI Raid & Legal Case):Post-FBI Raid Addresses (2022–2023): Following a 2022 raid on his home by federal agents, Yeshitela appeared in press briefings and interviews (e.g., on Democracy Now!, News2Share, and local TV broadcasts). He directly addresses the media, speaking calmly yet firmly against the DOJ's accusations and framed charges, characterizing them as political repression against the Black power movement. Viral Commentary & Social Media Clips:Ferguson Commentary (2014): Short, impassioned video clips of Yeshitela commenting on community uprising, police accountability, and state control in Ferguson went viral across social platforms. Because "Chairman Omali video" can refer to multiple clips across different eras:The Oxford Union Debate (Pan-Africanism and African Union)The "Uhuru 3" / DOJ Indictment Statements (Addressing federal charges and civil rights)The White House Anti-War Rally Speech (Addressing imperialism and government surveillance)Historical Speeches (1990s–2000s Black Power Organizing Conferences)

Those hoping Merrick Garland would rescue us from Donald Trump's MAGA onslaught were sorely mistaken. More inclined to look forward than back, Garland's main focus seems to be restoring the reputation of the DOJ after four years of toxic corruption. That leaves the State of Georgia and Fulton County DA Fanni Willis to prosecute Donald Trump. Later, Miles Taylor joins Mea Culpa to discuss the 2022 midterms and his Project for American Renewal.To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policyLearn more about your ad choices.

VR45 - Today on Vapid Response: 25 years after the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, we look back on the Forrest Gump of monstrously bad legal takes: former DOJ lawyer and current UC Berkeley law professor (!) John Yoo. We go back to the primary sources to show how the Office of Legal Counsel explicitly authorized torture, indefinite detention in Guantanamo Bay, and warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens before giving Secretary of State Marco Rubio a chance to explain why the world should never hold the United States accountable for any of it. Cases and sources discussed: “Time to Think About Torture,” Jonathan Alter, Newsweek (11/4/2001) “Is There a Tortuous Road to Justice?” Alan M.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into compliance-related topics, literally going into the weeds to explore a subject in greater depth. Looking for hard-hitting compliance insights? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss the Southern Glazer NPA. The Southern Glazer Wine and Spirits' non-prosecution agreement is a rare example where prosecutors credited compliance program remediation, rather than self-disclosure or extensive cooperation, as central to a favorable outcome. Southern Glazer, the largest US liquor distributor, faced a major California kickback and bribery scheme involving five former employees, fabricated records, sham agreements, and luxury benefits to retailers and others, along with alleged tax impacts. The company resolved the matter with a $12.5 million payment and a two-year NPA requiring the CEO and CCO to certify program effectiveness. Tom and Matt review how the NPA affirms DOJ's Evaluation of Corporate Compliance Programs as still relevant and detail remediation steps: major headcount and budget increases, upgraded compliance leadership, audits of marketing spend, enhanced training, strengthened third-party controls and AP payment blocks, outside reviews, and tone-at-the-top messaging. Key highlights: Southern Glazer Case Setup Industry Risks and Scheme ECCP Guidance Still Matters Program Overhaul Timeline Concrete Remediation Metrics DOJ Signals Under Trump Era Resources: Matt in Radical Compliance Tom Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn A multi-award-winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of the Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcasts, a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast.

IPO activity has been uneven since 2022 as boards weigh valuation targets against regulatory risk tied to AI. Mixed outcomes for 2023 listings and a selective reopening in 2024 with Reddit, Astera Labs, Rubrik, and Ibotta kept bankers cautious about timing. U.S. and European policymakers advanced AI safety measures, including a White House executive order in October 2023, NIST's AI Safety Institute, and the EU AI Act, adding compliance requirements to S-1 filings. AI-native companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, Stability AI, and xAI must show durable unit economics while addressing data and safety questions before pursuing listings. Stripe and Databricks extended private runways with large financings and acquisitions, preserving optionality for future offerings. The SEC, FTC, and DOJ signaled sharper scrutiny of AI claims, partnerships, and disclosures, influencing offering readiness and valuation. Founders are dual-tracking IPO and M&A paths, investing in model governance, and tightening financial controls to navigate a stop-start IPO window.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the 47 Morning Update w Ben Ferguson, Ben examines the Southern California daycare fraud case, the Justice Department's broader enforcement efforts, and what these investigations reveal about alleged abuse of taxpayer-funded programs. He discusses recent actions involving pandemic loan fraud, health care fraud prosecutions, efforts to recover lost funds, and the administration's stated goal of making fraud enforcement a government-wide priority. A federal crackdown in Southern California has led to charges against 12 individuals accused of fraudulently collecting more than $10 million in taxpayer-funded child care subsidies. Federal prosecutors allege that licensed home daycare operators submitted false attendance records, claimed payments for services never provided, and collected funds intended to help low-income families access child care. The case highlights a broader push by the Trump administration and the Department of Justice to target fraud across multiple government programs, from child care subsidies to pandemic-era relief loans and health care reimbursements. Investigators say they used surveillance, travel records, bank data, and other evidence to test whether taxpayer-funded services were actually being delivered. Topics Covered: The Southern California home daycare fraud investigation Allegations involving more than $10 million in child care subsidies Surveillance and border-crossing records used by investigators Nationwide enforcement actions targeting pandemic loan fraud DOJ health care fraud prosecutions involving billions in alleged losses Trump administration efforts to expand federal fraud enforcement Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Flying the Furry Skies, ChampAIgne Is Flowing, & Guest Allie Wheelz On this episode of Red State Update, Jackie and Dunlap welcome Allie Wheelz to talk about her months-long fight for home care, the Olmstead Act, and what it's like to have to constantly prove you're disabled. Plus: Tommy Tuberville's furry-pilot panic, gas prices, the Iran war, ICE, and a helluva long list of Republican problems heading into the midterms, President Xi's red-carpet get-your-ass-kissed-by-Trump visit, and a Halloween warning about chupacabras.  Look at all this mess: America's dumbest Tommy, Tommy Tuberville, worries about furries flyin planes. Hilarious! And then he talks about forced institutionalization for trans folks. Not so funny anymore! Republicans have to run on fear since they can't run on gas prices, inlation, Iran, anything real, so they got to make stuff up to scare us. ICE and Stephen Miller: shootings, citizens killed, legal residents rounded up, all cause of this one gross sick dude. The real freaks and weirdos and pervs are in the Oval Office, not behind the beverage cart. Ranchers and farmers struggling because workers are too afraid to show up. The state of health care sucks: Medicaid and health care cuts coming after the midterms. Women dying under abortion bans in red states. Americans battle high prices and financial pressure and job insecurity due to AI while Dan Scavino posts an AI ad of White House Buddies rollin' around sprayin' champagne over the goldest room there is. Hegseth and the Pentagon hiding casualty and injury numbers of service members from the Iran War. Crazy numbers of attempted su**ide. How is Pete Hegseth still in charge? Bo French, Texas Railroad Commissioner candidate, is so racist he got mad at a photo of a University of Texas football crowd. If you're so racist you're mad at football, you're too racist. Trump's net worth is reportedly around $7 billion, triple what it was two years ago. His gross family is cashing in too. One of many Trump corrupt schemes? Pay-for-pardons! The DOJ took down the list of Trump's pardons. Maybe they're afraid people are starting to pay attention? If AI takes your job, maybe you can get into the burgeoning pardon broke field. Major League Baseball wants to build a stadium in Grand Teton National Park. This is something nobody wants except rich people. Maybe you could get away with this horse hockey when gas wasn't six bucks. Tax-payer money paying for ads praising Trump. He ain't even running! Imagine if Obabma put up an add with Love Me Love Me in the background. Jackie wants to take his taxes and make his own anti-Trump ads. Ain't we already doin that every week for free? Facebook MAGA meme accounts claim oil companies are keeping gas prices high to sabotage Trump before the midterms. Yes, Trump's famous arch-enemies the oil companies. Trump is rolling back all the Biden-era fuel regulations and going after electric cars! Interview: Allie Wheelz Ali is a disability advocate and content creator who joins Jackie and Dunlap to talk about her personal battles against care-cutting algorithms and out-of-touch committees of money-grubbing ghouls rushing to make budget cuts against the most vulnerable. She also describes the coming cataclysmic Olmstead Act changes, and how Texas is already leading the anti-autonomy charge.

Jack Smith, who led multiple DOJ investigations into Donald Trump, testified today in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Pam Bondi's handling of the Epstein files became a major source of controversy after she publicly raised expectations that the Justice Department was about to deliver significant new transparency, only for the initial February 2025 release to consist largely of material that had already been publicly reported or leaked. Bondi then revealed that the FBI's New York field office had thousands of additional pages that had not initially been turned over to her and ordered the bureau to produce everything. The situation became even more politically damaging when the Justice Department and FBI issued a July 2025 memo saying their review had found no incriminating “client list,” no credible evidence that Epstein had blackmailed prominent people and no evidence sufficient to open investigations into uncharged third parties. That conclusion clashed sharply with the expectations Bondi herself had helped create, including her earlier statement that an Epstein “client list” was sitting on her desk for review.Critics in Congress, the media and even within the administration accused Bondi and the Justice Department of trying to close the book on Epstein rather than aggressively pursue the unanswered questions surrounding his network. The July memo explicitly said that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted,” a position that generated enough backlash that the issue continued through lawsuits, congressional scrutiny and eventually the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which forced a much larger release of records. Courts later noted the widespread controversy over the department's reversal on disclosure, and the House Oversight Committee eventually moved to subpoena Bondi over DOJ's handling of the files. Bondi and the department defended their work as an exhaustive review constrained by victim privacy, sealed records and the absence of evidence supporting new prosecutions, but the sequence of promises, limited releases, contradictory messaging and the attempt to declare the review essentially finished left her handling of the Epstein matter under sustained scrutiny.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Episode Description:   What happens when the "default villain" stereotype puts your life in danger? In this week's episode of Power to the People Rebel Base One, Anthony Powell shares a terrifying, real-life encounter with severe racial profiling on a New York City bus, exposing the dangerous reality Black men face when they are automatically presumed guilty.   But the conversation quickly shifts from personal encounters to systemic nightmares. The crew breaks down the heartbreaking and infuriating case of Nolan Wells, the Black teenager in Mississippi whose death was ruled an "accidental drowning" despite damning GPS evidence released by attorney Ben Crump. Anthony, Keith (BigFellow), and Derek (DP) expose the deep-rooted corruption in local justice systems, the protection of privileged suspects, and the gutting of the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.   Plus, the guys tackle the political landscape, praising NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for calling out war criminals at the UN, while questioning the "bought and paid for" politicians in Washington. Finally, they dive into a chilling Jon Stewart segment on "surveillance pricing"—how smart grocery carts, data tracking, and tap-to-pay transit systems are quietly manipulating prices and draining your wallet right under your nose.   Grab your headphones, because "Negrodomus" is predicting the future once again. You don't want to miss this!  

He thought she was 12. He wore a badge.

Ben and Popok are back on the Webby-award winning Legal AF Podcast and are ready to bring the heat about these top law and politics events: Trump's China dinner and his bashing of the press in front of the leader of the Chinese Communists backfiring on him in the Courts; in Congress, with the New Media and with Voters; Trump's DOJ working overtime to hide Trump-related Epstein files from disclosure; Jack Smith and the former FBI agents that worked for him enthusiastically agreeing to testify about Trump's crimes to grand juries and the Senate; the Supreme Court inadvertently helping the Democrats gain a House Majority with the last word on Missouri's congressional maps; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
