This part (from the article) might be a good option, too: "Request a Manual Postmark: Customers may present a mail piece at a retail counter and request a 'manual (local) postmark.' This postmark is applied at the time of acceptance, so the date aligns with the date the USPS took possession."
Anyone dropping off a time-sensitive piece of postage (ballots, legal docs, etc) should start taking a photo of them selves dropping it off (with postage & postal address clearly showing) at a USPS mailbox to use as evidence later.
I don't know if it would count legally but it's worth a shot...

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

The only reference to Jan 6 riots in the Capitol visitor center (that I could find): “On January 6, 2021, Congress was engaged in certifying the Electoral College results when proceedings were interrupted.”

Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

It was always a lie that the focus would be deporting the worst of the worst. To get Dreamer/DACA status basically meant you were a Girl Scout or Boy Scout. And it's silly because many of these people got educated here since 2012 and now we're losing that talent and skill. 🤷🏾♀️
Dreamers were once obvious candidates for a path to citizenship. Now, they’re getting picked up, detained, and set for potential deportation.
Then they came for the Dreamers
