Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn’t this an overreach on state elections? How can this be legal?
If you're interested, this is the recent letter the Senate sent to this guy, outlining exactly how unconstitutional it is. It's a very good read, you don't have to be a lawyer to understand it, and it's and not too long:
https://www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/260623_USPS_Absentee_EO_Letter.pdf
And before the "strongly worded letter" crowd jumps on, pre-litigation letters are part of how the Senate conducts business. They're NOT writing this because they think a strongly worded letter will help this hopped-up Trump toadie to find his lost love for democracy, they're writing it in the form of a brief to create the paper trail and set the stage for the individual states to sue the USPS, because constitutionally in the United States the states control elections, not the federal government. The orange chancre is literally trying to override the Constitution with an executive order (again).
The USPS is part of the executive, the Senate is part of the legislative, and the battle between will be in the judicial: because the underlying issue is an election, powers already clearly assigned by the Constitution, much of this particular battle against extreme federal overreach will likely fall to the states to fight in court, or not.
Very helpful! Great position.
People from the Trump administation will be getting prosecuted for the rest of our lives. It will be like Nazis still getting caught and tried 40 years later.
Sadly, I don't think them being prosecuted is an inevitability
It isn't legal. They're doing it anyway.
It's kind of a pattern.
Republicans don't care much about legal unless it's Democrats doing it.
