They agreed
- not transfer money from the reserves
- Not relinquish control, or ownership of the reserve funds
- Not return any of the money to the USDT
- Or take steps to reduce money available in the bureau
until Feb 28

Thanks to a lawsuit by AFGE, NAGE, and @afscme.bsky.social, DT’s federal employee buyout offer will be paused until a Monday hearing.
This means that the offer which was supposed to close tonight will stay open until Monday and we’ll see what the ruling says after that.

That’s right. Communicate from a position of strength and confidence. Make it hard for the other side to get a rhetorical lever in edgewise. Dooming leaves cracks that can be exploited. Learn to step away from that by taking care of your own mind before getting loud about stuff.
you know, even if you are pessimistic about the idea that we will ever actually retaliate with what these people deserve - and i think it’s entirely fair to be pessimistic - there’s a lot of value in keeping your fucking mouth shut about it.

Thank you, Chris. This is how to message.
I truly cannot imagine anything less helpful right now. This is nothing more than the nihilist's version of obeying in advance.
It's an agreed order, signed by the judge; if the federal government doesn't "honor" it, they are violating the order and will be back in court for a contempt hearing.

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions.
They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.
