Who Owns Power: Courts, Cities, Or The Crowd

Send us Fan MailA glitchy cold open gave way to a gut-punch: a farewell to Scott Adams and a promise to keep his “simultaneous sip” alive. From there we sprinted into a week that felt like a decade—RFK praising Trump’s improbable health, a Ford factory visit doubling as a campaign drumbeat, and a fresh wave of populist proposals that actually touch daily life: caps on consumer interest, limits on Wall Street gobbling up single-family homes, and data centers paying more so households don’t get crushed by power bills.We waded into the ICE firestorm with a clear lens: what does “due process” mean when agents get rammed and cities refuse detainers? Minnesota’s prosecutor shake-up raised real questions about DOJ optics, while media frames kept flipping “victim” and “threat” depending on the headline. At the same time, judges reminded us how fragile accountability can be—one date error and an appointment quibble can vaporize a case. The legal wrangling spilled into the Supreme Court’s Title IX debate, where language drift collided with biological categories. If women’s sports need clarity, can policy survive word salad?Then came the geopolitical curveballs. Greenland is back on the table—part strategic buffer, part resource play, part map rewrite—and Iran’s streets are roaring against a regime that’s losing air. We connected sanctions, Starlink, and the region’s shifting center of gravity without hand-waving the cost. Along the way, we tracked PPP fraud prosecutions and the UK’s retreat from mandatory digital IDs, a reminder that public pushback can still move governments.It’s all one thread: power, incentives, and execution. Populism isn’t a slogan; it’s whether your bill drops, your street feels safer, and your team plays by rules that make sense. If that mix of humor, hard questions, and policy detail is your lane, hit follow, share with a friend, and leave a review telling us which segment hit hardest. Your notes shape what we dig into next.Support the showGet off Zero, the EASIEST WAY TO BUY BITCOIN #BTChttps://river.com/invite?r=Y6QR4HBWCQGhost Phones, Laptops and Tablets, Mark37 has it allhttps://Mark37.com/ref/live1776Thursday Night PRIVATE IGNITE presentation via ZoomRegister for our FREE Ignite webinar every Thursday at 4:30p PST 👉🏼 https://bit.ly/48vKR1Dwww.PeasantsPerspective.comwww.LeftBehindandWithout.orgwww.DollarsVoteLouder.comwww.politicalremodel.com
