BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
EMERGENCY MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER OR, ALTERNATIVELY, FOR A 14-DAY STAY UNDER SECTION 705 OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT
Plaintiffs hereby move the Court to enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule
65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, for a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C.
§ 705.
Despite the Court's admonitions not to "get to a point where someone is telling me, from
the government, that it's too late, too many things have happened and now we are, like, moving
Case 1:26-cv-00477-ACR
Document 76
Filed 10/11/26
Page 2 of 4
forward and we can't, you know, stop the trains," Status Conf. Tr. ("Apr. 13 Tr.") at 18:15-19:10,
Apr. 13, 2026, Defendants have begun irreversible damage to East Potomac Golf Course. At
4:55 p.m. on Friday preceding the holiday weekend, Defendants announced their intent to
begin-barely 12 hours later—a massive operation to clear 529 trees at East Potomac Golf
Course. Decl. of Dr. Kevin Griess, Superintendent of National Mall and Memorial Parks,
National Park Service 920, ECF 74-1. Although they initially represented that their work would proceed in stages, Defendants in fact took down 529 trees on Saturday alone and have confirmed
to Plaintiffs that they intend to take down hundreds more.
Defendants' surprise tree-razing operation constitutes classic National Environmental
Policy Act segmentation: undertaking elements of a larger project piecemeal and insisting that they are independent and therefore need not be evaluated in a single NEPA review of the entire
project. Defendants cannot circumvent their NEPA obligations in this manner. Delaware
Riverkeeper Network v. F.E.R.C., 753 F.3d 1304, 1313 (D.C. Cir. 2014).Therefore, and for the reasons explained in the Memorandum accompanying this Motion
and supporting exhibits, the Court should enter a 14-day temporary restraining order under Rule
65(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or, alternatively, a 14-day stay under 5 U.S.C.
§ 705, enjoining Defendants from any further tree felling at East Potomac Park. In addition, the
Court should order Defendants to provide the Court and Plaintiffs no less than three business days' written advance notice before any irreparable modification to any permanent forms or
features of East Potomac Park.
If the Court believes a hearing would be appropriate, Plaintiffs request a hearing on this
motion at the Court's first availability. At the parties' meet and confer on Sunday afternoon, Defendants represented that the tree-clearing operation would continue this week until
completed. Defendants indicated during the meet and confer that rain foreclosed any work on
3
Case 1:26-CV-00477-ACR Document 76 Filed 10/11/26 Page 4 of 4
Sunday, and that the possibility of doing work on Monday depended on weather and the course's
condition. Depending on Defendants' plans, then, it is possible that no work will occur on
Monday.

Roger Marshall charged his patients 18% annual interest on their unpaid bills. His bakery bill for $678.75 was due six years ago. At 18% interest compounded annually, the total he'd owe would be at least $1,800. Marshall just paid the bakery $1,300—far less than what his patients would owe.

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'
Andrew Curran: Axios is reporting that the top labs are wargaming scenarios for the aftermath of a catastrophic event in the next 6 - 12 months, that some executives now see as being inevitable.

Axios: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAl and other Al companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event.
Why it matters: These officials anticipate a large-scale event, most likely a cyberattack, that shuts down access to financial services, internet connectivity, or even power and water.

Edouard Harris: This is our view as well. Relatedly, average people will want to increase their level of personal resilience and preparedness as their resources allow. We will be publishing about this soon.

Nick Farina: Best ways to be prepared? Generators, water, books and DVDs?

Edouard Harris: Power, water, food, sanitation for most part. Parts of this depend on your geo latitude - solar vs propane for eg.

But also: set aside a computer that is not (and ideally has never been) connected to the internet. Buy faraday pouches and tape. Print out essential docs on paper.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."
