You have GOT to see the plaintiffs & defendants in last night's TRO

blocking the regime from further dismantling our government! A vast and diverse coalition of unions, nonprofits, and governmental agencies are suing, by name, nearly everyone in Trump’s cabinet and Musk. The list of plaintiffs goes on about a page, and the defendants goes on for another three pages. It’s a relief to finally see organizations joining together to show how all the pieces fit. And it gives me hope when the court responds appropriately to the totality of destruction and norms.

My favorite part (FINALLY, someone who can do something about TSF is putting it into black and white):

"Plaintiffs are a coalition of labor organizations, non-profit groups, and local governments that file this complaint to hold unlawful and stop the unconstitutional dismantling of the federal government by the President of the United States on a scale unprecedented in this country’s history and in clear excess of his authority"

I will be following this case closely.

King County, Washington, is still King County, Washington, not Martin Luther King, Jr. County, Washington.

The ruling is 115 pages. I thought I read on BlueSky that the regime has two weeks to file a response which can be no longer than 25 pages. But I can’t find it in the ruling (because legalese makes my eyes glaze over), and I’ll never find it again over there. And maybe I’m thinking of a different case among the ~230 cases against them, but I don’t think so.
