The Postal Service was created to DELIVER the mail. It is now being pushed toward deciding whether entire batches of legally issued ballots are acceptable enough to enter the mail system in the first place.

This is absolutely wild. USPS is defending new restrictions on mail voting by comparing ballots to other types of “sensitive mail,” including replica explosives and cremated remains.
The new rule would require states to use specific ballot markings and unique barcodes,

Unbelievable. In a new court filing Trump‘s DOJ wants to tear down the Kennedy center completely if they’re not allowed to proceed with the renovations they want. Which include, of course, inscribing his name on the building.
Meanwhile, are your grocery bills coming down? I didn’t think so.

Before last year, there were no US measles deaths in a decade, and now we have had 5 deaths in two years.
Measles was declared eliminated in the US in 2000, but will lose that status this year.
This is an abject failure of public health leadership.

This is I believe the third incident where ICE has gone to arrest people, they flee, and someone is hit by a car or other vehicle and dies.
In this case, ICE officers went to question some people at a gas station, they panicked, and one of them ran into the road and was hit by a truck.
