Federal judge rules Trump plan to cut FEMA by 50 percent was unlawful
The judge said the plan, put together by DHS, appeared as if it was "pulled from thin air" and would impede FEMA's ability to fulfill its legally mandated duty to respond to disasters.

Now, a nonpartisan network of former military and civilian leaders warns a new USPS rule based on that order could actually disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of them.
