See, I'm not interested in seeing the leader of another country held accountable for legitimate crimes...until I see the leader of THIS country held accountable for legitimate crimes. I'm funny like that.

This could have big repercussions for mail voting in 2026: USPS no longer guarantees when it’ll postmark mail.

More important than ever to be careful about how you vote, including voting as early as possible if you want to do so by mail. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Thousands of mail-in ballots could be discounted under new post office policy
The Postal Service is no longer guaranteeing when it will postmark mail, which could jeopardize some ballots that arrive after Election Day.

UPDATE: *peace president* Trump bombs Venezuela… (after pardoning an ex president of Honduras for drug trafficking)

This is about oil (+ distracting from Epstein), not drugs.

Trump has initiated a war against Venezuela without being authorized by Congress. More members of the Congressional GOP are appalled at his illegal use of the U.S. Navy committing homicide on the high seas and unleashing the CIA and its first reported sabotage on Venezuelan land.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics

Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
