I thought that I heard today or last night that the court order you refer to was blocked again by yet another judge, but I can't find any record of that. I must be confusing it with the zillions of other court orders in play these days.

I guess we shall have to see what happens when the dust settles.

At this point I'm numb to the whole situation.  A lot of the employees who made it all work are undoubtedly getting other jobs or retiring out and escaping this mess.  If VOA does somehow get spun up again, it's going to have a content factory in support the goals of the administration, and not that of its original mission and the nation.  RIP, VOA.
