Thank you!
Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves
They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇
Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

USPS’s job is to deliver the mail even if some mailed ballots genuinely are fake, illegal, fraudulent, or otherwise invalid. It’s on election administrators to catch and reject those, and they do. USPS has no role in it and the very idea mucks up the systems we actually have for election integrity.
I understand the confidence about how this will all end, but I'm still livid at the Postmaster General for having the gall to say the USPS has the right to decide who gets to vote, when the USPS's actual job is to DELIVER THE GODDAMN MAIL, including every ballot, whether Donald Trump likes it or not
I unpacked Supreme Court mail-in ballot ruling @outfrontcnn.bsky.social ⤵️
- The Executive Order is still blocked under a totally separate court order.
- States should win quick victories now that USPS has "final rule" (SCOTUS simply held it's premature before that final rule issues).

Irresponsible kooks like Nicole Saphier and RFK, Jr. shouldn't be allowed to interfere with our right to seek healthy lives.
In Dec 2021, Nicole Saphier — a Fox contributor now tapped as Trump's surgeon general nominee — argued that "it is time to move forward and allow this mild infection to circulate so we can continue to build that hybrid immunity."

I am pleased to announce that just after midnight, Tiffany & Co. will involuntarily turn over between 100 and 200 diamond cocktail rings and an assortment of tennis bracelets. These will be sold at Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Rep. Adam Smith: "Look, it's pretty clear the president wants his own domestic police force and step by step he's trying to create it. We should be deeply alarmed by that regardless of how you feel about crime in DC or any other city ... it's a huge step toward an autocratic government."
