In the Oregon troops case, the Ninth Circuit panel granted an administrative stay of the Saturday OR NG TRO but *not* the Sunday deployment TRO.

"Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed."

Case: 25-6268, 10/08/2025, DktEntry: 32.1, Page 1 of 4
FOR PUBLICATION
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
STATE OF OREGON and CITY OF PORTLAND,
Plaintiffs - Appellees,
No. 25-6268
D.C. No.
3:25-cv-01756-IM
District of Oregon, Portland
ORDER
FILED
ОСТ 8 2025
MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK
U.S. COURT OF APPEALS
DONALD J. TRUMP, In his official capacity as President of the United States; et al.,
Defendants - Appellants.
Before: GRABER, R. NELSON, and BADE, Circuit Judges.

In the circumstances here, granting an administrative stay will best preserve the status quo. Prior to the October 4 temporary restraining order, Oregon National
Guard members had been federalized but not deployed. The Memorandum
authorized federalization of the Oregon National Guard members. An
administrative stay of the October 4 temporary restraining order will maintain the federalization of Oregon National Guard members, because that order prohibits implementation of the Memorandum. Additionally, the second temporary restraining order has not been challenged or appealed, and it prohibits the deployment of National Guard members in Oregon. Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members

Administrative Stay GRANTED.

Bray is a historian at Rutgers who received death threats after landing on Turning Points USA's Professor Watchlist. As a result, he announced he was moving to Europe. And then this happened.

This kind of harassment and abuse of scholars is Charlie Kirk's legacy and it's only getting worse.

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Bari Weiss "is a self-described 'Zionist fanatic.' The idea that a 'neutral media organization' is led by someone who has a long history as a pro-Israel ideologue...is really worrying.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

The key words there are "spent a decade".
Christian Nationalists and right wingers like Leonard Leo have been playing the long game for several decades and Felon47 ruling us as a Fascist is their success.
Dems on the orther hand, often turn victory into defeat with short term in-fighting.

Organizers in New Mexico spent a decade electing lawmakers who would put the question of universal child care funded by oil and gas royalties on the ballot and in late 2022, voters were allowed to decide on the matter directly. They voted overwhelmingly to approve it.

Universal Child Care Is Popular. New Mexico Showed Us How We Can Win It.

A vibrant, grassroots, bottom-up movement was behind the victory, offering a template that other states can follow.

Republicans have sold their souls to the gun industry and Christian Evangelicals.
And both of them consider children being mass murdered with guns something we just have to accept.
