....extending the time it takes mail to go from start to finish.
It used to take four days for first-class mail to go from 54806 to 02780. Now, the average is 5 to 7seven.

Piece by piece, the right-wing in this country is narrowing the number of voters who can vote without additional obstruction.

It has gotten so stupid that our next-door neighbor, whom we have lived next to for nearly 30 years, has to ask me for an ID to prove who I am.

I know Joe had a veritable $@#%- storm handed to him in 2021 - and did a fantastic job getting this country back on track - but was anything do to either get rid of or marginalize Dejoy? I would have thought there would have been some efforts on that front, given the growing importance of mail in ballots.
