The construction companies / contractors and their workers are owed over $220 million — from the federal government’s Dept. of Transportation. And… Tangerine is refusing to to pay them because they won’t rename the project the Trump Tunnel.
This is patently lawless. And 100% Trump’s four decades long M.O. Disgusting.
But there is no valid procedural reason, for the US position before an ALJ to take front seat, over the existing USDC [full court] proceedings in Manhattan, before a real Art. III judge. None. But that’s what the Tangerine 2.0 forces are pushing, tonight:
…This Office represents defendants-appellants (the “government”) in the above-named appeal. The government respectfully writes pursuant to Rule 28(j) to apprise the Court of the expedited briefing schedule in Gateway Development Commission v. United States, No. 26-176, the related action before the Court of Federal Claims.
On February 10, 2026, a status conference was held in that court. During that conference, the court ordered an expedited briefing schedule on Gateway Development Commission’s (“GDC’s”) motion for partial summary judgment seeking immediate payment of past-due money, i.e., $205 million—the same relief plaintiffs in this action demand. The court indicated that after briefing is completed, it would issue a ruling from the bench on March 12, 2026.
The expedited schedule in the Court of Federal Claims demonstrates that that court is moving quickly to resolve the issues before it. Given that plaintiffs in this case are seeking the same relief as GDC is pursuing in the Court of Federal Claims, an administrative stay and stay pending appeal of the district court’s order is especially warranted to avoid interfering with the pending parallel litigation in the GDC matter….
Ridiculous. Out.
Powerline Lies...
