It's been more than 24 hours since the 4th Circuit denied DOJ's stay request to stop the Jan. 1 deadline for allowing transgender military recruits — https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/appeals-court-denies-trump-admins-request-to-delay-jan-1?utm_term=.qqkOXV506#.itNAY3mqN … — and there's still no word of any further stay requests to #SCOTUS (or en banc).
