Summary
Federal Judge Amir Ali sharply criticized the Trump administration during a Tuesday hearing for failing to comply with his 12-day-old restraining order to unfreeze USAID contract funding.
“I don’t know why I can’t get a straight answer from you,” the judge demanded, asking if funds had been unfrozen. The government lawyer responded: “I’m not in a position to answer that.”
Ali ordered USAID to pay all invoices for work performed before February 13 by midnight tomorrow and required the administration to identify officials who can testify under oath about compliance disputes.
To be fair, phone call records would show how many of those calls actually came from out of the district or state.
We already have Johnson and other apologists already framing the town hall incidents as a bunch of Democrat rabble-rousers pretending to be Republicans. The last thing we need to give them is proof that Democrats are doing just that.
Having an out of state cell phone as your only number can’t be ruled out. They’ll ignore you anyway though.
