If anyone's having a slow Friday afternoon, you might watch this space for some tea-spilling in the next 20 minutes.

First off, our reply brief in support of a preliminary injunction is on file. You can see a (slightly redacted) version below. https://www.scribd.com/document/472499799/Redacted-Reply-iso-MPI-Index-Newspapers-LLC-v-City-of-Portland-No-3-20-cv-1035-SI-D-Or-Dkt-144

Second, here's an email from Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli when he hears the Court granted our TRO. He's not happy! It's "offensive"! But not to worry: It "shouldn't affect anything we're doing."

Hear that, federal agents? DON'T CHANGE A THING.

Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan jumps in with the obvious follow-up email: DON'T PUT THIS SHIT IN EMAILS.

Ah, now here's a good setup. You heard the feds were leaving, right? https://twitter.com/elliotforhan/status/1294429740594597889

(we are experiencing technical difficulties, please stand by)

Kate Brown: The feds are withdrawing!
[someone gives her a talking-to]
Kate Brown: Okay, it's a "phased withdrawal."
Stephen Miller:

Last bit of tea for the day: Diligent Valor isn't ending anytime soon.

Oh fine, one last one. Acting Chad got really butthurt about this @Haleaziz story and called him a member of the "deep state" and "not a real journalist."
