I'm at the US Courthouse media room. I'll try to live blog for @lawfaremedia.org the hearing in the case over the dismantling of CFPB before Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Unions claim Trump Adm has ordered reductions in force that violate her injunction even as narrowed by the DC Circuit.

thank you Senator. You are a true human.
I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
