Neighbors tell me they are waiting to apply to be mailed a ballot until there is greater certainty. That's a mistake. The court cannot make it any easier for your local elections officials to get you a ballot than at present. They can only make it harder. Sooner is better than later. No matter what.
BREAKING: The Trump administration is back at the Supreme Court with a request to lift the latest block on the U.S. Postal Service plan for President Trump’s attempt to restrict mail voting for the midterms. This comes after a judge in Boston replaced an earlier block that SCOTUS was reviewing

Hard data and context are missing in Minnesota's overblown fraud furor
Trump's claims that this state is an outlier when it comes to fraud don't hold up, and the politicized attacks must not go unchallenged.

Donald Trump reported more than 14,000 stock trades worth up to $1.06 BILLION in his first year back in office.

It’s time to BAN Congress, the Vice President, and the President from owning stocks. Period.
