The attorneys general of Massachusetts, Illinois and Michigan are co-leading the lawsuit. Also signing on are the attorney generals of Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

Plaintiff States’ Ex Parte Emergency Motion For Temporary Restraining Order [Dkt. 4] is GRANTED. Defendants and their officers, employees, servants, agents, appointees, and successors are hereby enjoined from taking any steps to implement, apply, or enforce the Rate Change Notice (NOT-OD-25- 068) within Plaintiff States until further order is issued by this Court.

Notably though, this likely means that the block is only granted in the 22 blue states that sued.

      A MILLION fucking Americans died, bad, chocking on their own fluids, unable to see or touch their loved one’s as they passed, due to a mismanaged, purposefully inept Federal Global Pandemic response the last time Donald Trump was President, the outsized percentage were MAGA voters, their loved ones just put Donald Trump back in the White House, Democrats couldn’t be bothered to vote in large enough numbers to counter them even having lost an almost equal amount of Mothers, Fathers, Sister, Brothers, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, Friends, Coworkers to Trump direct scientific and medical ineptitude. I don’t have to guarantee you anything about the “average american joe”, they proved it on their own on November 6th.
