BREAKING on MS NOW:
Judge Kelly just granted the preliminary injunction requested by the news orgs banned by the Trump White House.
This ruling indefinitely reverses the ban against MS NOW, CNN, and Politico while their lawsuit continues.
![The plaintiff organizations argue that the Federal Gov-
ernment will not suffer irreparable harm because federal
law currently prohibits state and local election authorities
from clearing their voter rolls in the weeks leading up to
federal elections. The organizations point to the National
Voter Registration Act (NVRA), 52 U. S. C. §20507(c)(2)(A),
which provides that “[a] State shall complete, not later than
90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for
Federal office, any program the purpose of which is to sys-
tematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the
official lists of eligible voters.”2 To be sure, that moratorium
limits the potential impact of staying the District Court’s
order in this case. Still, all agree that the order prevents
the Federal Government from using the modified SAVE
program to conduct individualized inquiries, which are per-
mitted under federal law during this period. The District
Court’s order thus inhibits the Federal Government’s ef-
forts to assist state and local agencies in the proper admin-
istration of the midterm elections. Under these circum-
stances, the equities weigh in favor of a stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicwo5ggyfefwfwxzzxz7gljvrrtwfl4dtluqzz5eh6rltxtt54cvy)
