Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back fellow Meidas Mighty member Michael Popok, host of MeidasTouch’s Legal AF podcast and YouTube channel, and founder of The Popok Firm. Together, we do a deep dive into Trump’s authoritarian power grab as he falsely brands peaceful protesters in California as “insurrectionists.” With Trump mobilizing the National Guard, deploying Marines, and pushing the limits of executive authority, Popok explains how Trump is testing constitutional boundaries and using manufactured crises to silence dissent. From violations of the Posse Comitatus Act to plans for military parades on Trump’s birthday, Cohen and Popok expose how MAGA is hijacking patriotism, crushing civil liberties, and laying the legal groundwork for a dictatorship in plain sight.

news. Look, today, we're staring down the barrel of a dystopia that feels ripped straight from
