Just catching up on feed & see that @BasedMikeLee suggested same thing. Also 1/ Image
2/2 Easy work around: Step-by-step instructions provided with no access needed. But I'd prefer mandamus at this point b/c lack of any analysis especially of standing & yet extraordinary remedy of TRO when no real harm, much less imminent.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Holy crapola! This federal judge went so far off the rails, Trump Administration really has no option but to seek mandamus! 1/ Image
2/ Yesterday, Blue States sought to enforce TRO entered by Rhode Island federal court. Gov't responded spending isn't covered by TRO, other is allowed by statute, other is because of computer freezes given amount required.
3/ Judge's Order today prohibits any freeze on ANY federal funding which is much beyond what lawsuit challenged. Here's order I bought on Pacer and uploaded to Courtlisterner. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

🔥On Friday, the Blue States filed a Motion to Enforce TRO claiming Trump Administration had violated TRO. Tonight Trump Administration responded. The filings illustrate precisely what I noted were issues before: that court failed to conclude what law would be violated.

3/ Here's link to Trump's response: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

THREAD: I just had a chance to read order granting TRO prohibiting Trump Administration from putting USAID employees on paid leave & ordering immediate evacuation. This case differs greatly from the other cases involving TRO in 2 hugely significant ways. 1/
2/ First, Plaintiffs (union representing actual USAID members) has standing to assert injury to its members. This isn't the nonsense standing asserted in other TRO cases. Second, allegations of imminent harm are facial persuasive: a) no access to State Dep't warning system &
3/ lack of ability to plan for return. I guess I should add a 3rd: At least facially there is at least a Congressional Act referenced that has direct bearing on issue, unlike general (and incorrect APA arguments). As Order explained, harm can't be undone after so TRO makes sense.

🔥🔥🔥Judge Engelmayer's granting Blue State's TRO barring access to Treasury Department is even more appalling than I realized yesterday, given limit of access--something I only discovered in reading State's Petition for TRO. 1/
2/ Here's TRO which includes no analysis AT. ALL. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ Here's what Blue State's said that queued up issue: Image

🚨Seeing reporting federal judge stayed "buyout" order until Monday but nothing hit docket yet. The complaint, however, is nuts w/ 2 bases presented for federal court intervening: APA "arbitrary and capricious" and that Congress hasn't yet come up w/ funding for rest of year. 1/
3/ Trump should immediately order all federal workers to report to work in office tomorrow in response to this nonsense, other than those who signed up with "resigned." Americans are tired of this shit.

3/ Two thoughts: Damn, that was a close call. And her implicit dig at @netanyahu is pretty appalling & seeing what Trump achieved even before in office makes her comments even more appalling.
