As we told you earlier, CNN’s lawsuit against the Trump administration has, at least for now, been successful in reinstating Jim Acosta’s White House press pass. Here’s how Acosta responded after the judge’s ruling:
“Let’s get back to work,” CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta says after judge grants CNN’s request for a temporary restraining order to restore his press pass. https://t.co/hqOwYWutvz pic.twitter.com/Uc1770FBzw

CNN also issued this statement:
Statement from CNN and @Acosta on today’s ruling: “We are gratified with this result and we look forward to a full resolution in the coming days. Our sincere thanks to all who have supported not just CNN, but a free, strong and independent American press.”

Get ready for an emboldened Acosta in the White House.
If you thought he was insufferable before… https://t.co/zS93NAItMV

But the judge’s ruling doesn’t mean the White House has to call on him. Or maybe Sarah Sanders could take a different approach:
No matter what question Jim Acosta asks, @PressSec should respond with quotes from Airplane.

Mrs. Sanders, how does the president respond to accusations that his response to the migrant caravan has been racist and cruel?
DON'T GIVE ME YOUR RED ZONE CRAP, ELLEN

Mrs. Sanders, the president has basically sought the support of Nazis and the KKK. But that didn't work for the midterms, how do you respond?
YOU TRY DRAGGING WALTON'S ASS UP AND DOWN THE COURT ALL NIGHT

LOL!
Maybe he can be a journalist and not an activist now.

Well, let’s not expect any miracles! But at least Acosta and CNN’s lawsuit success (for now anyway) has served as an inspiration:
