NEW: In its new legal brief, the RNC urged SCOTUS to rule that mail-in ballots arriving post-Election Day should not be counted.
It also framed the counting of such ballots, which has been practiced for decades, as a dangerous modern experiment that undermines public trust and invites wrongdoing.

Republicans ask Supreme Court to block states from counting legally cast mail ballots
If the Court sides with the RNC, millions of voters who depend on mail-in voting could be disenfranchised.

A new proposal from the Trump administration would take away one of the main safeguards federal employees have when they are fired. It would strip an independent review board of its power to hear appeals from terminated workers and block those employees from taking their cases to court.

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).
The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by the NYT
