Some good news on the foreign aid funding freeze fight! As many have seen, the DC District Court has just issued a TRO against USG. A big initial victory, but there's a long road ahead. Some initial thoughts on the ruling, but first, here is the @nytimes.com writeup:

Judge Orders Trump Administration to Resume Foreign Aid Spending
The judge faulted the logic of a blanket freeze on foreign aid spending and found that groups that depend on the aid had made a strong initial showing of “irreparable harm.”

Spoke to Josh Rogin for the @washingtonpost.com on CCP’s crackdown on #HongKong: “Xi is taking the first step to shape the U.S.-China narrative and discourse before the new U.S. admininistration comes in…That’s a big middle finger to the U.S., to both the Biden and the Trump administrations.”
Opinion | China’s crackdown on Hong Kong is a test for Trump
Xi Jinping is daring the president-elect to respond — and if he is wise, he will.

Good to see new additions, especially from different sectors, in efforts to combat #Uyghur #forcedlabor.

The raft of additions is the single-largest expansion of a list created to combat alleged human rights abuses in Xinjiang.

Many are relieved that our friends received “only” 7-year sentences instead of life in prison. But none of the #HK47 pro-democracy campaigners (and the other 1,800+ political prisoners) should have been imprisoned at all.

Even one day in jail is too long.

Release them now.

The #HK47 convicted in Hong Kong’s largest national security trial after running in a primary election are expected to be sentenced on 11/19.

We ask that the int’l community closely monitor the situation & govts to respond w concrete actions, including sanctions against involved judges & officials.
