President Donald Trump's Department of the Interior and its secretary, Doug Burgum, have appealed after Judge Cynthia Rufe invoked George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" to order the return of a slavery exhibit to the museum on the site of former President George Washington's home in Philadelphia.

"As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto 'Ignorance is Strength,' this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not," Rufe wrote in a Monday ruling.

The judge entered a preliminary injunction "to restore the President's House exhibit as it existed on January 21, 2026."

But on Tuesday, the Trump administration filed notice that it intended to appeal the ruling.

"Defendants hereby appeal this Court's February 16, 2026, memorandum opinion (ECF No. 53) and order (ECF No. 54) to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit," the motion said.

The notice of appeal was signed by Gregory B. David of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division.

XRP’s Biggest Drawback Uncovered by Top Analyst, It Is Not Price

The post XRP’s Biggest Drawback Uncovered by Top Analyst, It Is Not Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP, within the week, dipped below the psychological $3 level again and shed 6.21% in the last seven days. This long, drawn-out consolidation has raised concerns among XRP investors. Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, has shared new insights into the seeming stagnation in the price of the asset. XRP price suppression strategy Aljarrah claims that the low price of XRP is not a weakness in the momentum of the asset. Rather, it is due to major institutions intentionally suppressing it for their own interest. According to him, these powerful traditional institutions are looking to stockpile XRP at this low price, hence the deliberate suppression. We agree, #XRP isn’t stuck, it’s being stalled, the strategic value alone confirms it, If the dollar is overextended and liquidity is strained as a result, XRP is the alternative source and bridge that provides liquidity for institutions, Thats how it becomes the solution. https://t.co/ZadNEIUhhk — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) September 19, 2025 Aljarrah appears aligned with the views of Jim Willie, who alleged that big banks, including BlackRock, the asset manager, are actively accumulating the asset to have leverage when the price soars to over $7-$8, where it ought to be at this point. Both views imply that there is a deliberate conspiracy going on that involves the manipulation of XRP’s price. Aljarrah and Willie maintain that this is deliberate so that these powerful financial institutions can buy it cheaply before it gains adoption in the traditional finance space. “If the U.S. dollar is overextended and liquidity is strained as a result, XRP is the alternative source and bridge that provides liquidity for institutions,” Aljarrah wrote. The Black Swan Capitalist founder believes XRP could serve as a “bridge currency” that supplies liquidity for global transactions when the U.S. fiat currency faces stress. XRP…
