Colleen Coughlin @irishcdc.bsky.social · 22/09/2026District Court dismissed DOJ's case WITH prejudice, so DOJ can't refile. Federal district court dismissing a case with prejudice is uncommon & reserved for severe situations, like extreme bad faith, blatant irresponsibility by the plaintiff, or severe prejudice to the defendant. DOJ can appeal. 010
Colleen Coughlin @irishcdc.bsky.social · 21/09/2026ROFL!!! Trump gives us a bang-on, real-life example of the difference between irony - "A situation or action where the outcome is the exact opposite of what you expect," and sarcasm/sarcastic, often confused with irony. But the ironic event has drawn many sarcastic reactions. 010
