Also Yesterday, USDC Judge Ali (In USAID Cases) Ordered At Least 300 Payments Be Made A Day -- And Status Report Tomorrow, On Getting The Rest Paid...

This all is -- at base -- simple federal contracting/contractual law. Trump and Musk as billionaires are used to stiffing people with relative impunity, as no one can afford to litigate contractual claims forever, against them.

But contract law in the US is clear -- once someone agrees to pay for something, and the other party materially changes positions to his or her detriment, relying on that promise. . . the party MUST PAY in full. That is what this is about: Musk and Trump are trying to welsh on contracts made. Can't be done. Take a seat kids:

. . .The Court is in receipt of the parties' [68] joint status report. The Court's March 10, 2025, preliminary injunction adopted a feasibility benchmark of approximately 300 payments per day.

By March 19, 2025, Defendants shall submit a status report which includes the updated total number of payments for work completed prior to February 13, 2025 (1) which have been processed since March 10 for Plaintiffs; (2) which have been processed since March 10 for non-Plaintiffs; and (3) which remain to be processed for Plaintiffs and non-Plaintiffs.

Defendants' status report shall include a proposed timeline for processing the remaining payments that is consistent with the Court's benchmark.

Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 3/17/2025. . . .

Now you know -- now it is time to take a break from catching up on the dockets around the nation -- and work on my March Madness brackets. Heh! Onward.
