Judge Xinis UNLOADS on DOJ, saying that their time of offering only "boilerplate assertions" to justify claims of privilege "ends now."
She gives them 24 hours to assert all remaining privileges with the "required detail" — or forfeit any further assertions of privilege over evidence in this case.

“Some of the biggest mistakes in the Court’s history were deferring to assertions of executive emergency power. Some of the finest moments in the Court’s history were pushing back against presidential assertions of emergency power.”

The conservative majority simply blocks off reality to justify its ends. Today’s decision is as chilling as it gets.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

Man is entirely unhinged. Nevertheless, politicians, former presidents, media, and anyone of influence remain silent on a grave issue merely regarded as eccentric conduct. This is not simply an idiosyncrasy, and the assertions made by Vought and Miller are profoundly unsettling.

"For weeks," Judge Xinis writes, "Defendants have sought refuge behind vague and unsubstantiated assertions of privilege, using them as a shield to obstruct discovery and evade compliance with this Court’s orders...they have continued to rely on boilerplate assertions. That ends now."
Xinis completely lambasts Admin for nonresponsiveness in discovery in Abrego Garcia case,, orders them to comply by tomorrow. Read the words of a fed up federal judge.
