The courts are ruling against Donald Trump yet again tonight.
A federal judge just blocked his unlawful funding freeze for child care and other critical programs in Illinois with a temporary restraining order.
His abuse of power against the families of this state won’t stand.

So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.
