Trump’s mail voting restrictions would have disenfranchised thousands if the Supreme Court had allowed them. But Trump’s plan to restrict mail voting was supposed to be even more prohibitive, with the help of two election conspiracists inside the White House. More from this shocking report:

Report: Trump wanted all mail ballots sent by certified mail
Two White House officials, including Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, tried to help Trump make his USPS rule even more restrictive by requiring all voters sign their delivered ballots at home.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.
