The Daily Fuckup

Trump Media’s April 11, 2025 filing was not a splashy one. It did not unveil a new allegation or announce a fresh crisis. Instead, it showed the company was still listing two merger-related legal fights that have followed it since the deal that took it public.

The filing says the Delaware Court of Chancery case brought by United Atlantic Ventures remained active. It states that the remaining defendants had fully briefed motions to dismiss the third amended complaint, as well as a motion to dismiss or stay the case based on temporary presidential immunity. The court had scheduled a hearing on those motions for May 15, 2025.

The same filing also describes the Florida case involving ARC, Patrick Orlando, United Atlantic Ventures, Andrew Litinsky and Wesley Moss. In that matter, the company said defendants appealed an order imposing contempt sanctions and that the appeal was scheduled for oral argument on June 4, 2025. The filing ties that date to the specific appeal, not to the Delaware case.

The chronology matters. The White House tariff order referenced in the original version of this story was issued on April 9, 2025 and set an effective date of April 10, 2025. It was not the same day as the Trump Media filing. The cleaner read is simpler: on April 11, Trump Media was still disclosing open court fights that had not gone away, while the tariff action had already been on the books for two days.
