... and compelling compliance... such as hiring private companies. Also, it may've also passed by with little fanfare yesterday but I think they complied with putting the websites (CDC etc) back online and restoring their content to a specific date.

Ah, yes! From yesterday's "Status Kuo:"

"And as Elias noted, courts can even hire private companies if necessary to help enforce contempt orders and proceedings. Rare, but possible in this environment.
...
And you probably really don’t want to piss off many federal judges by openly defying all their orders. It is growing increasingly harder for the Trump White House to make the case that a “rogue judge” is standing in the way of its mandate when order after order comes out against it. The higher this stack of orders, the higher the obstacle to overcome. That’s why each and every court win matters.

Perhaps that’s also why, despite rumblings about open judicial defiance, the Trump Justice Department has apparently elected to go the “official route” of appealing orders it doesn’t like, rather than simply thumbing its nose at them. Recently, it sought to appeal McConnell’s emergency ruling to the First Circuit, which on Tuesday shot down its request for a stay pending appeal."
