A U.S. Postal Service whistleblower is alleging the agency defied court orders while rushing to build a new ballot system that could reject thousands of mail ballots . The big picture: The whistleblower says the Postal Service built the system in weeks, not the nine months to a year normally needed for a project of this complexity. - The system stems from an executive order signed by President Trump that mandated the federal government to generate lists of confirmed U.S. citizens eligible to vote, and for the postmaster general to propose a rule that USPS will not transmit ballots from any people not on their state list. - The rule appeared in the Federal Register late last month. The latest: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) sent a…
States and cities across the country are pushing back against the Trump administration’s effort to withhold millions of dollars in police and anti-terrorism funding unless they adopt new voting rules, as Trump campaigns ahead of the November midterm elections. Harris County, which includes Houston, and the other jurisdictions stand to lose millions in public safety grants unless they impose the controversial voting rules Trump wants: a plan to transition to paper ballots, proof of citizenship verifications, mandatory hand-counted audits of 5% of all ballots, and more, according to Axios. Trump is also visiting the Houston area on Thursday to meet with the crew of NASA's Artemis II mission and to campaign for Texas GOP Senate hopeful Ken…
On August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order allowing the Trump administration to advance key parts of an executive order restricting mail-in voting. The ruling stayed in a lower-court injunction blocking implementation in 23 mostly Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia, clearing a path ahead of the November midterms.

On August 24, 2026, the Supreme Court issued an unsigned emergency order allowing the Trump administration to advance key parts of an executive order restricting mail-in voting. The ruling stayed in a lower-court injunction blocking implementation in 23 mostly Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia, clearing a path ahead of the November midterms. This is a procedural win for the administration that lets preparatory work proceed while preserving future judicial review once concrete actions are taken. The stay applied only to the injunction in the states’ lawsuit; a separate nationwide injunction against certain USPS rulemaking, issued by the same judge in a different case, remains in force and was not lifted.

State and cities nationwide are rebelling against the White House's push to withhold millions of dollars in police and anti-terrorism funding unless they impose new voting rules. Why it matters: President Trump's effort to impose election policies that he hasn't been able to get through Congress has now drawn two lawsuits from state and local governments that accuse the administration of threatening to defund the police unless Trump gets his way. - "They are trying to defund public safety and counterterrorism," Harris County (Texas) Attorney Abbie Kamin told Axios. - Harris County, which includes Houston, and the other jurisdictions stand to lose millions in public safety grants unless they impose the controversial voting rules Trump…
America is bigger than a single unelected staffer. It’s time for the Senate majority to recognize that truth, stop putting itself first, and finally prioritize the people from whom it derives its own legitimacy. The post Primer: How the Senate Can Secure a SAVE Act Win appeared first on The Center for Renewing America .
Synopsis On July 20, 2026, the House of Representatives passed a clean continuing resolution (CR) extending government funding through December 4, 2026.1 Notably, House leadership did not include the SAVE America Act in that measure. As a result, that CR is not currently an option for a House-originated vehicle for attaching SAVE America legislation. That opportunity would arise again only if the Senate amended the CR and returned it to the House, absent any other measures. Accordingly, the principal legislative pathway examined in this primer is the separate reconciliation process, while the CR remains a potential secondary vehicle only if it returns from the Senate. Separately, the House has advanced its latest budget framework,…Open
AI:The House of Representatives has passed a clean continuing resolution extending government funding through December 4, 2026, but notably failed to include the SAVE America Act. This strategic omission leaves the legislative pathway for securing the Act narrowed significantly. While leftist media outlets might attempt to frame these procedural maneuvers as mere administrative housekeeping, they are actually critical roadblocks in a high-stakes battle over national legitimacy and electoral integrity. For the Senate to successfully secure a win for the SAVE Act, it must navigate complex reconciliation processes or force amendments on House leadership, rather than allowing bureaucratic inertia to undermine the very foundation of American…Open

The Trump administration is seeking swift Supreme Court intervention to implement new mail-in voting restrictions ahead of the November midterms. PULSE POINTS WHAT HAPPENED: The Trump administration on Wednesday again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to quickly intervene to allow the U.S. Postal Service to implement nationwide restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the November midterm elections. Solicitor General D. John Sauer urged the justices to overturn two rulings by Barack Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani that have blocked the Trump administration’s plans, warning that further delays could prevent the changes from taking effect before the elections. DETAIL: Talwani ruled Tuesday in a separate case brought by…Open
AI:The Trump administration is petitioning the Supreme Court for emergency intervention to allow the USPS to implement nationwide mail-in voting restrictions ahead of the November midterms. Solicitor General D. John Sauer is asking the justices to overturn rulings by an Obama-appointed district judge that blocked the President's March executive order, which seeks to enhance election integrity by requiring state-specific voter list verification and citizenship confirmation. The administration argues that these measures are necessary to prevent fraud and secure the electoral process, contending that previous legal challenges were premature since no concrete changes had been enacted yet. This push for election security follows a pattern of…Open
