refuse to mail ballots regarding Trump's executive order. This is the order that mandates that the Post Office cannot deliver your mail ballots if your state has not submitted their voter roles.

Postal Services appeals court order blocking Trump’s anti-mail voting order

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) has asked a federal court to pause its order blocking the implementation of President Donald Trump’s executive order against mail voting as it appeals the ruling.

Meanwhile, Democratic elected officials are urging the USPS not to move forward with the order, warning that doing so will make it harder for states to smoothly administer the upcoming midterms.

In a filing Monday, the federal government argued that unless the court grants a stay, the “sweeping injunction” will “severely disrupt USPS’s efforts to potentially promulgate a final rule” fulfilling Trump’s March 2026 order ahead of November’s midterms elections.

I mean WTF??? When did the post office become an arm of The White House and the Republican Party?? They are claiming "irreparable harm" in their appeal. So afraid this will end up on the Shadow Docket at the Supreme Court.

Also see this video. Harry Littman breaks it down.
