And, of course, Justice Alito repeats the false claim that USPS interference with mail ballots is needed to "better detect election fraud," a statement for which there is absolutely ZERO EVIDENCE in the record.
As for the equities, the Government has a strong interest in enforcing the rule, and implementing it will also “enhance the visibility of Federal Ballot Mail” in order to better detect election fraud. 91 Fed. Reg. 54972.  On the other side of the balance, the plaintiff States invoke the practical effects of implementing the rule close to the midterm elections. I take that problem very seriously, but it is not enough to convince me to deny the application.

“Burgum said at a Houston G-20 event on Monday that “the prices in the prior administration were this high anyway” and that Americans would have paid those prices permanently because former President Joe Biden was “pursuing a policy of energy subtraction and shutting down refineries.” Burgum lies.

He defends Russia for helping Iran kill Americans. He defends China for helping Iran kill Americans. He pretends Iran hasn’t killed Americans. And his strategy for the clearly failing war he started is to lie about it. He says Canada is bad, an enemy, while North Korea is good. What can’t he do!

This is a familiar promise — last year Trump proposed a DOGE dividend of $5,000 and $2,000 per person tariff checks. Neither one happened. This requires approval from Congress, which is already controlled by Republicans (who aren’t interested).
