As you watch Trump increasingly panicked in run up to the midterm election please understand he will do even more AFTER the election when Democrats win House and likely Senate. He will claim there is fraud, direct military to seize voting machines, demand Congress not be sworn in on Jan 3 and more

Each election year, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) takes extra steps to ensure ballots sent through the mail arrive at election offices on time. This year, it’s delaying those efforts. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

USPS pushes back measures that ensure mail ballots arrive on time
“The shorter timeframe is noteworthy and I don’t know why they’re doing this,” Steve Hutkins, who writes for Save the Post Office, told Democracy Docket.

For years, inoperable street lights piled up across Los Angeles. We inherited a decade-long repair backlog, with tens of thousands of street light service requests across the city. But I couldn’t accept that.

Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Filipino communities outside the Philippines. For generations, Filipino Angelenos have helped shape our city. Historic Filipinotown is a proud testament to that legacy, but the Filipino community's impact can be felt across our entire city.

We will continue to defend our communities, protect the integrity of our public institutions, and make sure Angelenos can access their City government without fear. This law makes clear that those principles are not temporary — they are part of how Los Angeles operates.
