The U.S. Postal Service has slowed down mail deliveries so much it's failing to meet even its lowered performance targets, a new report from the Government Accountability Office found. Why it matters: The Postal Service is part of the connective tissue of American life: delivering prescription drugs and ballots , carrying government notices and bills, helping businesses reach customers across the country. - Now its attempts to shore up its finances are disproportionately affecting rural communities .

State of the Union: Justices Alito and Thomas dissented and Kavanaugh signaled fight could return. The post SCOTUS Blocks Trump’s Mail Voting Restrictions Ahead of Midterms appeared first on The American Conservative .
The Supreme Court ruled Monday to block President Donald Trump’s restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Driving the news: While the court denied the administration's stance, the justices were divided on the merits of the case. - Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in…
