The Beeb's response is funny enough on its own. But bc I have not ingested enough cat videos today, I read it to myself in a proper British accent and it's even funnier that way. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
![I. THE TRUMP TRUST’S REQUEST FOR A STAY IS NOT AN EMERGENCY.
As a threshold matter, the Trump Trust’s motion for a stay is hardly an emergency. As
the Trump Trust frames the issue, its motion is an emergency because “[o]nce the Trust were to
begin handing those records over to the BBC, that disclosure could not be undone, and the
Trust’s pending objections could not restore what the BBC will have already seen.” Mot. at 2.
But “bona fide emergencies involve the health and safety of individuals, the impending departure
of a witness with no plans to return to the jurisdiction, the imminent destruction of a building or other property, the imminent deportation of an individual to another country, the need to give
critical medical treatment to a patient in a hospital, the threatened loss of civil rights, the
immediate, threatened loss of an entire business, or when someone is at risk of being denied an
essential service.” Companhia Energetica Potiguar v. Caterpillar Inc., 2016 WL 7469993, at *3
(S.D. Fla. Apr. 13, 2016) (Goodman, M.J.) (denying emergency motion to stay enforcement of
Magistrate Judge’s discovery order). By contrast, a deadline arriving after two weeks’ notice to
produce non-privileged documents—which may be designated “Confidential” or “Attorneys’
Eyes Only” under the Court’s Protective Order—does not justify the rare invocation of the
Court’s emergency procedures.
It is not even clear from the Trump Trust’s briefing what the purported emergency is
here. See id. (“But the mere fact that [the movant] did not obtain all the relief it wanted hardly
means that this situation is an emergency.”) (emphasis in original). Simply because the Trump
Trust faces an obligation it does not agree with, and is confronted with an imminent deadline of
its own making by waiting to file its stay motion until the day before its first Court-ordered
disclosure day, does not make its request an emergency](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreihfw75bjjm6e3um2e76g2xx4trhl3sfnsh2arkqo4o7j7ngnhpygy)
According to TanganyikaWildlifePark "Female giant anteaters carry their pups on their backs for about 6 to 12 months. The newborn pup climbs onto its mother's back almost immediately after birth and stays there while she walks, sleeps, and searches for food."

But I was told it was the other countries payed it. How come they're giving it to the companies?

This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
This is completely false. Sabrina Carpenter, Cameron Brink, Taylor Swift, Charlotte Clymer… The left loves hot, white, blonde, and happy women.
Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

I'm shocked! Wasn't I told the 194 other countries paid the tarriffs? Shouldn't they each get a check and not Apple and Amazon?
Congressman Greg Casar@repcasar.bsky.social · 2d agoApple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.
If every American is expected to pay the taxes they legally owe and resolve past tax issues under the same rules, why should any individual or family receive unique protections through a special settlement with the federal government? Equal treatment under the law should apply to everyone.

Regardless whether covid originated in a wet market, or a forest just outside of town, nothing about its origins reduced the danger it threatened us with. Social distancing, masks to protect lungs and those around us, school closings until we understood more -- all of that was 100% sound advice!
Okay! So hello. My name is Allison Gill. For the last 9 years, you’ve known me as Mueller, She Wrote. I used to have to be anonymous. But not anymore. So, hello world!

Libertad!

According to the underlying agreement, both sides have to sign off on changes, so Trump needs to sign off too. Same thing on the IRS audits.
altNOAA 🇺🇸@altnoaa.bsky.social · 3d agoThis fund should have never even been given daylight. But here is what pisses me off... DOJ under Trump is screwing around with crap like this when the bomb maker who blew up the Pan-Am flight in 1988 is in US custody and his trial was supposed to start months ago. We have better things to be doing.
CARTOON OF THE DAY (if you know who made this let us know)
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
I'm sure it's just the realization the Lindsey is gone, really gone.

We have to overwhelm the ballot boxes in every state to leave no doubt that trying to screw with the results will be dangerous. Like French Revolution dangerous.
