So, the trial court has set a status hearing for next Monday, to hear what concrete steps Team Tangerine 2.0 is taking to comply with the appellate order, and the trial court's injunction -- against denying already obligated funds (and already appropriated by Congress, per the black letter lawful scheme) to recipiencts like the National Council of Charities. [Just one of my prior backgrounders, on this case, No. 25-cv-402, USDC, Dist. of Columbia, here.]
We will, as ever cover this too, here. [That is so -- at least until we go off grid, for ten days, on an island on upper Lake Champlain -- starting this weekend.] Do watch the skies -- for some Bat Signals, friends [in the form of tiny text updates in comments to each post, that is(!)]. Here's the full-text order -- from the ever capable USDC Judge Amir Ali, in DC, just entered:
. . .MINUTE ORDER.
The Court will hold a status conference on August 25, 2025, at 1:30 p.m. in Courtroom 19.
[Tangerine 2.0/DOGE] Defendants are reminded, consistent with the en banc D.C. Circuit's order this morning, that "the preliminary injunction that requires the government to obligate the appropriated funds remains in effect." Order, Glob. Health Council v. Trump, No. 25-5097 (D.C. Cir. Aug. 20, 2025).
Defendants accordingly remain under the obligation to take steps to comply with the preliminary injunction absent further order of the Circuit or this Court. Defendants have previously represented it remains feasible to comply with the requirement to obligate the appropriated funds and that they have developed a plan to do so.
Defendants should be prepared to discuss at the hearing what steps they have taken and need to take to ensure that compliance remains feasible.
Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 8/20/2025. . . .
Onward -- getting excited! It is all coming together. . . grin!
