Disinformation regarding the Cornell rape case doesn't even make sense: Breitbart claims that the victim went to police saying all actions were consensual... If that were the case, why would she have gone to police???

OK White House IS now reinstating press badges to comply with the TRO. They just took 3 hours, slow walking it. So, judge denied emergency hearing. Upcoming dates (re: changing TRO to prelim injunction): - Request due from CNN 28Sep - Potus response due 02Oct - CNN reply due 05Oct - Hearing TBD

Affidavit from WH Press Ops Director, describing timing for TRO compliance

Judge's order outlining dates for next steps in this case (to change from 14-day Temporary Restraining Order to Preliminary Injunction)

Oh my: reporters still being denied access to the WH, in violation of the TRO. (I know there’s buzz that potus regularly ignores court orders, but that’s not true. This is the first time I’ve seen the admin *actually* defy an order.)

Stop saying that he said he was pulled from 9/11 rubble. He didn't say that. To review: ✅ He said he was carried out of the US Steel Bldg (One Liberty Plaza) due to fears of collapse ✅ There were rumors about that bldg's safety 🛑 The rumors were untrue; bldg was safe 🛑 No one was carried out of it

Oh look, Kennedy Center signage change is delayed by 30 days. Probably because the judge threatened TRO if they didn't. (Also, DoJ argues that the building is in such poor repair that it will soon be "decrepit" without a reno. It's only 55 years old! Such obvious lies. 🙄)

Court filing from Defendents, notifying judge that their signage update to include Trump's name is now scheduled for Oct 8th. (It was previously Sept 8th)

Oof that Kennedy Center hearing today! 1. Judge told defendants to delay their desired Sept 8th signage install, or face a TRO. 2. Plaintiffs argue that defendants have mismanaged the center for a year & recent moves are a coverup. 👀

I'm getting awfully tired of this administration intentionally violating federal law. In the next congress, we need some consequences for these actions. I propose codifying that the exec branch's intentional violation of CFR is classified as a High Crime and Misdemeanor.

Yesterday on I-35 in MN, there was a driver following other cars *dangerously* close (at 70+mph). At times in the past, I've called in dangerous driving; this time I didn't, but now second guessing myself: Should I have called in about this?
