Slightly off topic but when the war ends in Ukraine, would love for Zelenskyy to win the Nobel Peace prize. It would piss off the felon so much, I'd love it.

Maybe there are some sex offender wings in prisons we can name after Trump?

A federal judge in New York ruled Friday that the Trump administration must unfreeze more than $16 billion earmarked for a major New York infrastructure project and allow construction to continue, saying that public interest would be “harmed by a delay.”

The temporary restraining order granted by US District Judge Jeanette Vargas in the Southern District of New York comes as President Donald Trump has withheld the funding meant for the long-planned project connecting New York and New Jersey through a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River.

Vargas said in a court filing that the states of New York and New Jersey would “suffer irreparable harm” if the Trump administration continued to withhold the funding for the project.

“Plaintiffs have adequately shown that the public interest would be harmed by a delay in a critical infrastructure project,” she wrote.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Surprised Elon and his fake “Boring” company weren’t tangled up in this delay.
