In A Lead USAID Funding Freeze Challenge Case, In DC -- The Pace Is Accelerating Now, Before USDC Judge Amir Ali. Tangerine 2.0 Will... Lose.


This has been a slow roll. But now, perhaps for not much longer. The DC appeals have been resolved against Tangerine 2.0, and Musk -- as his DOGE minion.

So it is on to trial, now -- where Trump/Musk will lose. Here's the latest order, from while I was away in the mountains:

. . .MINUTE ORDER.

The court is in receipt of Plaintiffs' [193] motion to compel ex parte production of documents for in camera review and to compel production of unredacted documents. The motion indicates that Defendants consent to in camera review of the documents at issue but the parties disagree as to the timeline for Defendants to file a brief defending redactions in the relevant documents, given pending summary judgment briefing.

The court agrees in camera review is appropriate. Defendants shall file the relevant documents, under seal for in camera review, and their brief defending the contested redactions by July 21, 2026, at 4:00 p.m.

Signed by Judge Amir H. Ali on 7/18/2026. . . .


Onward, resolutely.
