BREAKING: The DC Circuit has DENIED the Trump administration's emergency bid for a pause of Judge Cooper's order, meaning Trump's name must come down tonight.
They did request further briefing, so the issue is not completely settled, but for now no "Trump" on the Kennedy Center @MSNOWNews

BREAKING: Judge Brinkema in EDVA has granted a preliminary injunction, blocking the DOJ from taking steps to create the “anti-weaponization” fund. She wants a sworn declaration that the Trump admin is not moving forward with the fund - signed by both the AG and the Treasury Secretary - by next week. @MSNOWNews

JUST IN: The Trump admin just filed its emergency request for a stay with the DC Circuit. They're asking the appellate court to pause Judge Cooper's ruling by 7pm.
If they grant the stay, Trump's name can stay. If they don't, Trump's name must come down by tonight. @MSNOWNews

Judge Mehta says this weekend’s UFC fight can continue as planned because it’s just too little too late.
He says the plaintiffs likely don’t have standing - not enough that they find the claw “grotesque” - and too much time and money has been spent on the fight.

What’s going on with the “anti-weaponization” fund cases?
On Wednesday, federal judge in DC denied a TRO, but issued a stern warning.
Today, the case heads to court in VA, where a judge has ordered a temporary block (could expire today) and FL (original IRS suit) where Trump must respond to the judge’s questions about alleged collusion and deception in the settlement agreement that yielded the fund.

BREAKING: Judge Leon has DENIED a bid to immediately block the "anti-weaponization" fund.
He was "not persuaded" there was a live controversy, citing DOJ's repeated statements - in public and in court - that they are not moving forward with the fund.
He left them with a stern warning, though: "Don't play possum with this court!"

The transcribed actions of the prosecutors here screams violation of DOJ rules and ethical requirements
Grand juror pressed the prosecutor on whether there are "any new actual facts" on the second attempt:
"I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

“The administration had embarked on a new kind of fishing expedition — not for dirt on the people they did not like, but to find a prosecutor willing to file charges based on the threadbare evidence they already had.”

JUST IN: DOJ apparently for the first time indicates in writing that it is not moving forward with the "anti-weaponization fund."
In a new court filing, the DOJ says the Court should not grant a bid to block the fund-- "not because the Fund will continue (it will not), but to protect the government’s institutional interests in the proper application of Article III limitations on judicial review." @MSNOWNews
