This was just in August. It reads like it’s a different court with the dem state AGs appealing, not the White House. I’m missing something.

The AGs were anticipating a possible cutting of subsidies by Trump. The federal court ruling in August 2016 said the payments were illegal but allowed continued payment of the subsidies pending appeal by the Obama administration.

Trump had indicated earlier that he might stop the subsidies citing the court's ruling. He has now come out and ended the appeal that was begun under the Obama administration and ended the subsidies. No doubt the state AGs will take it to court.
