Landlords aim to block Biden's new eviction moratorium in appeals court
CNN
Landlord groups challenging the Biden administration's eviction moratorium are now turning to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit to try to block the extension of the moratorium.
After a district judge's decision Friday allowed the moratorium to remain in place, the landlord groups filed a request Saturday evening asking the DC Circuit Court to reverse a June order, from an earlier phase in the litigation, that has let the moratorium continue. According to the filing, the government has agreed to a quick briefing schedule, and the parties are asking for a ruling from the appellate court by Thursday. The court later Saturday evening approved the briefing schedule -- under which the government will respond to the landlords' request by Tuesday morning and the landlords will reply by Wednesday morning -- but that is no guarantee that the appellate court will decide by Thursday.

Over the past 10 days, Vice President JD Vance put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on notice, rattled the confidence of century-old allies in Western Europe during his first foreign trip, decamped to Capitol Hill to help in delicate budget talks and delivered a spirited defense of the Trump administration’s first month to a gathering of conservatives outside the nation’s capital.
