ORDER The Govemment provided an initial production of documents for in camera review as required by the Cout's October 27*a Order (Doc. No. 186). However, the documents that were produced to the Court were not Bates-stamped. That makes it incredibly difficult for the Courtto communicate which documents should be turned over to the defense and which should not. More importantly, it makes it almost impossible to create an appellate record. Accordingly, before 9:00 a.m. on October 30, 2025, the Goverment shall deliver printed, Bates-stamped copies of all the documents they produced today by zip drive.

From a Politico story describing the Joe Rogan interview of JD Vance: Vance also suggested that some parents may be influencing their kids to be transgender or gay to compensate for white privilege. "If you are a middle class or upper middle class, white parent, and the only thing that you care about is whether your child goes into Harvard or Yale, obviously that pathway has become a lot harder for a lot of upper middle class kids," Vance said. "But the one way that those people can participate in the DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans." He added, "And is there a dynamic that's going on where, if you become trans, that is the way to reject your white privilege, right? That's the social signifier."
