Summary

Hear that gurgling sound? That’s the sound of the Trump DOJ, outmanned, outgunned, and underfunded courtesy of Elon Musk, losing regularly under the strain of 95 cases in the first 35 days of the Administration. Michael Popok reports on the DOJ telling an unsympathetic federal judge that they just couldn’t get to his case because they don’t have enough staff and what that means for Plaintiff’s groups suing the Trump Administration at a record pace.

0:29.6	Hear that gurgling sound? That's the Trump Department of Justice and it's beleaguered lawyers
0:35.3	who are drowning under the weight of almost 100 lawsuits filed in the first 35 days.
0:41.9	And it's bursting out into the open in court hearings in front of federal judges.
0:47.5	Maybe if you decide you're going to conduct your administration through the frequent issuance of illegal and unconstitutional executive orders,

1:36.0	or 100 or 200 DOJ members who were retaliated against because they used to work in the Biden
