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.

Black text on a white that says the following:

The allegations in the Cornell sexual assault case are deeply disturbing and gut-wrenching. Cornell University has failed this survivor.

I fully support Governor Hochul's decision to name Attorney General James as special prosecutor in this case and look forward to the complete and extensive investigation that is to come. 

Accountability and justice cannot simply be values, they must also be delivered.

In 1995-1996, I lived in Silver City, NM, where there was a bustling downtown, with dozens of thriving locally-owned shops. Within 9 MONTHS of Walmart moving to town, over 75% of the shops had gone out of business, and Main Street had become a depressing, boarded-up ghost town. #BoycottWalmart

I bet they're starting to regret their probe into Jack Smith's investigation. If they thought dragging him in right before the #Midterms would be a boon for them, I'd say they miscalculated. I hope y'all have enjoyed watching it blow up in their faces as much as I have. ✊

I think a many Americans who consider themselves Republicans vote the way they do because of what politicians promise vs what they accomplish. They believe GOP candidates INTEND to decrease government (waste/overreach)/increase liberty/boost the economy, and vote based on the hope they can and will.

As we approach the midterms, it's good to be reminded that Trump refused to call off the marauding mob at the Capitol that were brutally attacking police officers, and terrifying and threatening to perpetrate violence against our Congressional Representatives, and kill the Vice President. REFUSED.

Trump’s 2024 ‘Final Battle’ Ad Returns, Funded by Public Money
The ad, which ethics experts said could violate federal law, shows Mr. Trump vowing to “expel the warmongers” from the government and fight the “deep state,” even as he wages a war with Iran.

The ad begins with Trump announcing “[t]ogether, we will defeat communism, socialism, and Marxism in America” (meanwhile, he venerates and licks the boots of Putin/Xi/Un) ‼️ ➡️ "The principle is clear: no president should be able to raid the Treasury for his own political goals or glorification." ⬅️ ‼️
