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.

Trump claims he is sending 1M $500 refund checks to people who were enrolled in Obamacare because they were overcharged. However, those people only live in red states or states where elections are close. Sounds like an effort to influence the election and an impeachable bribe.

It’s corruption on steroids in plain sight. He doesn’t even try to hide that he’s looting US and cashing in on insider trading. He’s the most corrupt president in American history.

At least 56 people have died in ICE custody during Trump’s second term. According to ICE’s internal reviews, detention staff did not provide sufficient medical care to at least six of those detainees. ICE has now taken down those reviews from its website. What other cruelty is ICE trying to hide?

The Trump regime is sending children — some as young as three years old — to immigration courts without lawyers. MAGA judges are demanding toddlers justify why they shouldn't be deported. This is what is taking place in Trump's America right now. @meidastouch.com

🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration illegally changed a form used by overseas voters to register and request mail ballots just weeks before the midterms, Democrats argue in a new lawsuit filed Thursday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump admin quietly changed overseas voter form at 11th hour to disenfranchise Democrats, lawsuit says
The change is part of a Republican plan to make it more difficult to vote or outright disenfranchise a bloc of voters viewed as more inclined to vote Democratic, the DNC lawsuit argues.

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett. All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.

Why winning the Senate matters: - Only it can remove a President from office - Only it can approve treaties - Only it approves cabinet Secretaries - Only it can approve military promotions - Only it can approve judges - Only it can remove Supreme Court justices - It must approve all legislation

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

With every paycheck since your first job, you've contributed 6.2%, and your employer has paid 6.2%. That’s 12.4% every time. Social Security should never be considered a handout – it’s EARNED.

So now weeks before the midterms the Department of Homeland Security is changing its tactics of kidnapping arresting, deporting and the killing of Immigrants and Americans because they believe people will vote for the Republican candidates. Remember all they did to all Immigrants and Americans!
