Alito and Thomas are so fully owned. Kavanaugh’s short concurrence too, though. The Postal Service’s “statutory authority” can’t extend to regulating federal elections, which the Constitution itself so clearly grants to the States and Congress.

Trump is bankrupting our country. “Rates on newly issued 30-year U.S. bonds…recently hit 5.3 percent, up from 1.7 percent in 2021. That means more federal revenue goes to service the debt — nearly 20 percent — leaving less available for, say, defense or health care.” www.nytimes.com/2026/08/20/o...
