Update in Trump v. ❓️️ (26-12692) Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73710657/donald-trump-v-citizens-for-responsibility-and-ethics-in-washingt/
2026/08/12 The #DOJ shows up for the first time, in the appeal of #Trump v. #IRS that they abandoned. In Doc 10 they argue for Trump not against him.
This is in addition to the motion from DLA Piper on behalf of Brito and Trump. (Doc 8)

Update for #Trump v. #IRS (26-cv-20609) District Court, S.D. Florida https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/
2026/08/11 Ignoring the court's ruling deciding the schedule (Doc 120) Trump files a reply not to the pending court-chosen amici which is due 2026/08/14, but to the 35-judges amici brief (Doc 117) "reserving the right" to file a second reply to the court-chosen amici. I think that is far afield of motions practice and the court could generously strike this filing and make Trump/Brito/Epstein wait their turn. (Doc 121)
> The Response filed by the Former Judges, D.E.117, does not warrant a response because they are not parties and never requested the sanctions that the Court chose to impose sua sponte.
Is Oprison asking the judge to strike his own filing?
> they do not address United States v. Nixon, which squarely demonstrates that the President and the Executive Branch can, indeed, stand adverse to one another in federal court;
Is Oprison asking Judge Williams to put together a 60-hour Ken Burns documentary on the ways Trump is worse than Nixon?

2026/08/12 Oprison of DLA Piper is on the appeal, arguing for a stay of the sanctions which the lower court hasn't yet been briefed on. Doc 8.
In it they cling to the story that Trump didn't find out about Littlejohn until 2024/01/29, the date of Littlejohn's sentencing, but Habba spoke at a hearing 2023/10/12, while representing Trump as cited in the order Doc 108.

"In 2024, the service answered more than 1 million more calls from taxpayers during filing season than it had the previous year, and reduced the average hold time from 28 minutes to 3, according to IRS data."

@heidilifeldman The response from court's preferred amici is due 2026/08/14 (Doc 120) as there is no emergency. Not only did #Trump dawdle for almost 3 weeks, but instead of explaining why there was good cause for expedited motion practice, he just threatened to talk to the court's manager like a common Karen.
That's no way to win friends or influence people.
This has been an update for #Trump v. #IRS, (26-cv-20609) District Court, S.D. Florida, https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72207870/trump-v-internal-revenue-service/ in a sham case where #ToddBlanche's #DOJ didn't bother to show up at any point.
There is an appeal, but because the posture is weird I mistrust the provided caption:

In the appeal, Trump's opening brief explaining what he wants out of this and why he should get it is due 2026/09/14. (Doc 2)
The Defendant named in the caption is CREW who hasn't filed since 2026/03/26 (Doc 32), but the court's preferred amici are not them (Docs 43, 45, 119).

The Court's preferred amici don't see any support for an emergency motion to stay. Instead of acting like there's an emergency, Trump waited almost 3 weeks to file and instead of explaining why this is an emergency Trump only threatened to speak to the court's manager, like a common Karen. (Doc 119)
Accordingly, the Court gave its amici until 2026/08/14 to respond to the now-not-an-emergency motion to stay pending appeal. (Doc 120)

My proposal:
1. DTE as JSON objects. Use JSON-LD v1.1. It's W3C standard. Plus, in 2028 will have YAML compatibility.
2. Use OAuth 2.0. For fuck sake, it's RIGHT. FUCKING. THERE.
3. Use a simple "signature" keys. It's 2026, we use HTTPS, nobody is going to eavesdrop.
4. Get short-lived token → create document → sign it → send it with the token as Auth: Bearer. Is *THAT* easy.

2026/08/02 #ToddBlanche says the Anti-Weaponization Fund never got off the ground and now it's ordered to play dead.
2026/08/03 Democracy Forward Foundation writes to the DOJ referring to both #Floyd v. #DOJ and #Trump v. #IRS : But will you swear that it won't be brought back later perhaps under a new name??? https://democracyforward.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2026.08.03-DOJ-Letter-re-Blanche-Aug-2-Orders-Floyd-2.pdf
2026/08/03 Doc 116 DLA Piper's sacrificial lamb to the Trump administration argues on behalf of Trump and Brito that they shouldn't have to pay costs and fees to non-parties — completely ignoring the point that amici aren't being paid for winning the motion but plaintiffs and their lawyers are being sanctioned for abuse of the court.
2026/08/04 Doc 117 Said Amici can't think of a single reason why the motion for emergency stay should be granted.
From the table of contents:
- The Court had ample power to consider and impose Rule 11 sanctions and sanctions under its inherent authority
- The Court provided ample notice to Plaintiffs and their counsel that sanctions were under consideration and on what grounds
- The Order does not improperly rely upon news reports for the truth
of the matter asserted- Plaintiffs’ First Amendment objection to a single aspect of the Court’s order is also unlikely to prevail on appeal
- Plaintiffs Will Not Suffer Irreparable Harm Absent a Stay

Extremely bougie problem:
If you're enrolled in an Employee Trading Plan to automatically sell stock grants, don't try to cancel the Plan less than 60 days from it's expiration.
The cancellation starts a 60 day clock before you can trade that stock, and that clock is completely separate and supersedes the normal expiration of the ETP.
#Schwab does not inform you that cancelling your ETP within 60 days of expiry is probably not what you want to do, so I guess this is a warning.

@LizDye
On the evening of 2026/08/02 #ToddBlanche apparently issued a new order rescinding creation of the #Jan6 #SeditionSlushFund #SlushFund but not overturning the underlying (fake) "settlement" of #Trump v. #IRS or swearing that said fund won't be resurrected in some form.Yesterday, 2026/08/03 these deficiencies were pointed out toe #DOJ lawyers in this case, Floyd v. Department of Justice (26-cv-01399) District Court, E.D. Virginia https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73383692/floyd-v-department-of-justice/ in a letter:
> While seeking to have the public believe that the Anti-Weaponization Fund is not going forward, we note that [Blanche] has still refused to provide a sworn statement under penalty of perjury to the Court that the [DOJ] and/or the Department of Treasury “will not take any action to create or operate the [AWF] and that the [AWF] will not proceed in any manner, or under any name,” ECF No. 85.
(Doc 85 in this case is the 2026/06/12 order by Judge #Brinkema that gave #Blanche an easy road out of this case — which he did not take because this emperor fires those people who point out he wears no clothes.)
> The President, who is a named plaintiff in Trump v. IRS, has made clear that he intends to keep the Fund alive, affirming his belief that the January 6 rioters and other Fund beneficiaries “should be paid back for what they were forced to endure.” And [Blanche]’s public statements last night and today do not address or repudiate [Trump]’s statements over the weekend that the Fund may be operational in the future. For all intents and purposes, despite [Blanche]’s efforts to have the public and lawmakers believe otherwise, it appears that the [AWF] is as viable today as it was the day it was created.

Not to mention:
1) The get-out-of-jail-free card for the entire #TrumpCrimeFamily and their massive #IRS crimes, is still there.
2) Imagine what/who is on the ballots & decision-making ahead - and check out the now silenced (but #truth) set of high crimes by people in high places on #Jan6 Anyone remember *that*?
3) Todd Blanche & the #TrumpEpsteinFiles ?

Some key points re: "deal" that satisfied #Cornyn & #Tillis to advance #Blanche nomination for #AG
1) Trump still stands to gain significantly as he, his sons Don & Eric & Trump Org. will still get retroactive tax audit protection
2) Blanche's order "may not be significant or legally binding" since it doesn't change that #Trump would have to change the deal "in his personal capacity" & he, #IRS & #DOJ would have to agree to changes, per how deal was written.

Bottom line: Todd "Carte" Blanche hoodwinks two cheap suits.

Still, even in its new form, #ToddBlanche’s order for the #IRS to abandon any audits of #Trump’s previous tax returns is an
unprecedented & “potentially” (definitely) illegal benefit to a sitting president, worth tens of millions of dollars in lower taxes & avoided penalties.#law #criminal #theft #fraud #JudicialProcess #judiciary #TaxpayersMoney #kleptocracy #MafiaState
-
The unsigned #IRS document posted by #ToddBlanche said that only #Trump, 2 of his sons & the #TrumpOrganization would be granted #immunity from audits, excluding a broader pool of Trump family members & their associates who appeared to be eligible for protection under the original #DOJ deal. Blanche also stipulated that their future tax returns could still be audited.

F that. And f them.
#GOP senators say they will back #ToddBlanche nomination for #US #AG.
Two Republican senators who threatened to block acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s bid to lead the #DOJ said Monday that they will vote to advance his nomination, ending an impasse over plans to create a fund to compensate #Trump’s allies. [But apparently they’re fine with giving him immunity from the #IRS.]

#ToddBlanche posted 2 documents on social media on Sunday night∶ a signed memo in which he said that the #DOJ was formally rescinding an order that created the so-called “anti-weaponization fund” & an UNSIGNED‼️ statement in which the agency clarified the terms of the #IRS protections.
