Why was it ever dropped to begin with? That shithead’s mouth should be wired shut permanently.
Wasn't.
It was put on hold while both sides argued for and against it.
The prosecutor won the argument and the hold was removed.

Which means that we don't yet know if she also modified his conditions of release or modified the scope of the gag order.
Good point. What's the over/under that it stricter?
CNN is reporting that the information comes as a brief entry in a docket between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM on a Sunday.
The timing indicates that there's a "sense of urgency" about it, possibly to get it on the record before the Trump family takes the stand all week in New York, where you know there's going to be hallway commentary multiple times a day.
Stricter? I don't think it's likely that the scope of Chutkan's gag order will change. It's possible that the scope will be more specifically clarified. The real question is whether Chutkan will modify Trump's conditions of release to include this gag order. That should happen, so that when he violates it, the law states that his pre-trial release is terminated.

Lock him up!
Over/under on how long until she throws his fat ass in jail?
