🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Court enters TRO against Trump administration enjoining enforcement of funding cut for child mutilating & chemical sterilization "hospitals". Also, enjoins so-called "redefining" of "female genital mutilation" 1/ Image
2/ Full order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ Court enjoined this section: Image
4/ Here's Section 8: Image
5/ And for all those saying "demand bonds," this is what courts are doing: Image
Image
6/6 While Court bans cutting funding based on mutilation and sterilization, grants likely allow for lots of other reasons to terminate funding.

🚨BREAKING: Blue states file proposed Order following Friday hearing on Temporary Restraining Order before Judge Chutkan (Obama). That she ordered states to submit revised order suggests she intends to enter it. Scope is crazy! 1/
2/ Full proposed order. That court it to be filed on Saturday suggest is will be entered over weekend. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/3 As drafted, the Order would prohibit Donald Trump & heads of agencies from assessing data or firing anyone. Would be most restrictive of all TROs entered to day if Court enters. Image

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Judge is hearing argument on this right now and 🔥🔥🔥against Plaintiffs' attorneys. Judge is stressing relief is getting back in job for 30 days since Trump can fire for cause. 1/
2/ Judge is ripping him a new one!!! With # of TROs for judges & clerks dealing with. . . . you filed this now!! "I have no problem addressing a PI," she said we are on Rule 11 territory especially since comparing to Dellinger case. Would you like to w/d TRO & Gov't Rule 11 sanction request.
3/ She is sooo pissed! "You are an experienced individual" you have an obligation to your clients and to give and rationale advise about whether to seek a TRO is good advise.

🧵Folks, I'm reposting this THREADETTE from last night (and adding a new one here) because most reporting is announcing Judge barred Trump from freezing grants without including the rule-swallowing exception the Court added. 1/
2/ So here's what Court enjoined, saying Trump Administration could NOT freeze, suspend, blah, blah, blah funding, grants, etc. Big deal, right? Constitutionally speaking it is, but practically? Let's continue. Image
3/ Judge then EXPRESSLY, in CAPS and BOLD "ORDERED" that nothing in this order shall prohibit the Restrained Defendants from enforcing the terms of contracts or grants." That addition swallows the rule like a whale a kayaker on the ocean!Image

THREADETTE: Folks, I know this ever-growing list of cases brought by those seeking to thwart Trump Administration's agenda seems daunting & watching federal judges enter TROs prohibiting implementation of policies is disheartening, but these case are all on fast track. 1/
2/ Because Plaintiffs are all seeking injunctions, Trump will be able to appeal preliminary injunctions immediately. Such appeals are expedited & so the America First agenda will not be tied up in courts for long. ALSO, most of TROs entered have major flaws making them ripe
3/ for quick reversal, either b/c Plaintiffs lack standing, there is no imminent harm, or no final agency action. In fact, those flaws have left the TROs toothless w/ the Court telling Trump, in essence, "don't do what you can't do."

🚨BREAKING: Trump Administration dismissed this appeal. Dismissal makes sense b/c lower court judge yesterday entered an order that basically walked back his unconstitutional TRO & acknowledged Trump Administration could do what it was doing re canceling grants. 1/
2/ Motion to Dismiss appeal: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ Here is part II where yesterday the Court walked back his outrageously unconstitutional order: Image

🚨BREAKING: Related to this case⬇️, Court held hearing on TRO today & ordered filing of several documents. One was a Declaration (sworn statement) by USAID appointee who details obstruction of career staff. is appalling!! 1/ Image
Image
Image
2/ More details on how USAID was mismanaged. This also confirms that the waiver process allows for individual consideration of important grants. Image
Image
Image
3/ More than 100 USAID employees were insubordinate or otherwise interfered with or disobeyed Executive directives. The swamp is both long and deep! Image
