At the end of last night's show, you might remember, we were counting down to a midnight deadline that had been given to the Trump administration by a federal judge.

A judge had ordered the Trump administration to restart funding on foreign aid.

Now, this is a judge who had previously ordered the Trump administration to restart that funding, and they had not.

He had then brought Trump administration lawyers back into his courtroom this week and said,

it doesn't seem like you're complying with my earlier order.

Can you tell me what steps are being taken to comply with my order?

The Trump administration lawyer then responded by basically going,

And he set this midnight deadline from midnight last night by which the Trump administration had to do what he said, had to

restart that aid funding. So that's what we were talking about last night at the top of the show.

And then just as we were going off the air at the end of the show last night, the Trump

administration ran to the U.S. Supreme Court. And just before we went off the air, just before the end of last night show, the Trump administration obtained an order from the Supreme Court saving them from that midnight deadline.

So they're less than three hours away from that deadline.

And the Supreme Court at the very last second steps in and says, no, no,

no, Trump administration, you don't have to release that funding by midnight after all.

And we want briefing on this by noon on Friday.

So we'll see what happens by noon on Friday, by tomorrow noon at the U.S. Supreme Court. But because of the Supreme

Court's intervention that USAID funding did not start flowing last night at midnight.

And this confrontation in this series of events raises like a whole Niagara Falls of issues
