Today, Judge Hellerstein in the Southern District of New York takes his temporary restraining order to a preliminary injunction saying Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act is unlawful; the Supreme Court has ruled that Trump can go forward with his transgender military ban while the litigation plays out; a key Republican Senator says he will block the confirmation of Ed Martin as US attorney for the District of Columbia; the website for the deportation airline GlobalX has been hacked and defaced; in a surprising turn of events - the Trump administration is asking the court to dismiss the abortion pill case; an order by Kegseth to cancel Ukraine weapons takes the White House by surprise; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
