Election officials continue push to assure Americans mail ballots are safe after supreme court rules against president Reader Q&A: how united are the Democrats ahead of the midterms? Post your questions now After the US supreme court halted Donald Trump’s efforts to make it significantly harder to vote by mail in the midterms, US election officials are redoubling their efforts to convince Americans it is safe to cast their ballots by mail. The supreme court’s Monday ruling, which sent Trump into an angry froth on Truth Social, averted what election officials of both parties said would be an administrative disaster for this year’s elections. Trump’s order would have required states to comply with cumbersome new rules, including redesigning mail-in envelopes and uploading lists of voters to the USPS, that were not feasible to implement before ballots started going out. The effort was seen as a push by the government to change voting policy as well as one to weaken confidence in voting by mail. Continue reading...

"[T]hey are merely a shell of their original selves, a Court that is costing the United States Trillions of Dollars with shockingly bad rulings that are of such magnitude that it won't be easily possible for our Country to recover or heal. "It is a Court that will go down as having rendered some of the most destructive, hurtful, and damaging decisions in our Country's history."

Comments come after court on Monday rejected the president’s mail ballot restrictions ahead of the November midterm elections Supreme court rejects Trump’s mail ballot restrictions for midterm elections Hello and welcome to the US politics live blog. Lawmakers have given their support to the supreme court’s rejection of Donald Trump’s bid to restrict mail ballots for the midterm elections. Mitch McConnell , the 84-year-old former Senate majority leader from Kentucky, was seen in Washington for the first time in months on Monday, minutes before his office released a statement saying that he was back at work. With a slip of the tongue reminiscent of Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom , California’s Democratic governor, told CNN that he would not run for president in 2028 if his fellow Californian, former vice-president Kamala Harris , decides to run again, since “I know what that means: I know her base of supporters, I know her friends, the zen diagram on that is just pure crossover.” Donald Trump claimed there is a “SICK conspiracy” against artificial intelligence and data centers in response to the growing calls for greater checks on AI development. In a statement posted on social media , Barack Obama , the former US president, called for the pace of AI development to be slowed to allow time for the federal government to develop regulations to address “serious safety concerns”.

WiredOpen article 
centermainstreamSep 15, 2026Supreme Court strikes down USPS mail-in voting rule
The Supreme Court struck down the U.S. Postal Service's rule restructuring mail-in voting Monday, halting a major Trump administration priority. The big picture: The 7-2 decision is a major win for voting rights advocates and the states that challenged the administration's plan; it also reverses the Supreme Court's earlier green light for President Trump's mail-in voting order. The justices' prior unsigned order allowing the rule to proceed was not a ruling on the merits — but this time around, they decided the government is "unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge." The rule would require states to submit lists of eligible voters to USPS, and the agency would then verify that those voters were receiving mail-in ballots before sending them out. The rule also had strict requirements on envelope design. Driving the news: While the court rejected the administration's stance, at least one concurring justice disagreed on the merits of the case. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote in a concurring opinion with fellow Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson that "there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority" but that applying the proposed rules would be "arbitrary and capricious" for the midterm elections as state and local officials "do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule." Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented in a separate opinion. In their opinion, they called the filings claiming harm by some plaintiffs "cryptic" and that the USPS has the authority to implement a rule because Congress has empowered it to do so. Zoom out: The decision is likely the final say on the rule during this election cycle, with even U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani saying from the bench earlier this month that it was unclear how the government would implement the plans with November just around the corner. Steven Monteith, executive vice president at the Postal Service, said in a declaration filed Sept. 3 that the agency continues to make "refinements" to the portal, which he predicted would be available for "voluntary use by sometime next week." He added that under Talwani's restraining order, USPS was not mandating design review for state mail but has made review available for states that want to "voluntarily submit" envelopes to ensure they comply with the rule. The case has been full of legal twists and turns, with Talwani blocking key parts of the rule last month and a second judge doing the same earlier this week . Friction point: While the administration has dismissed concerns, a USPS whistleblower recently alleged that the agency defied court orders and rushed to build out the new ballot system, putting thousands of mail ballots at risk. The whistleblower said the Postal Service built the system in weeks, not the nine months to a year typically needed for a project of this complexity, Axios' Andrew Pantazi and Donica Phifer reported. The bottom line: The rule is just one front in the myriad ways the administration has tried—at times, unsuccessfully—to reshape elections, as seen in attempts to obtain state voter rolls and redraw congressional maps . Some of those efforts have been snuffed out in the courtroom, while others could have real impacts in November. Editor's note: This story was updated with additional information throughout.

centermainstreamSep 14, 2026Trump's USPS mail-ballot rules hit a second roadblock as Supreme Court weighs case
A second federal judge blocked the U.S. Postal Service's new mail-ballot rules for the Nov. 3 midterms as the Supreme Court weighs whether to allow the restrictions in another case. Why it matters: Sunday's order adds another hurdle to the Trump administration's bid to upend mail voting . The blocked rules would allow the USPS to refuse ballots that don't clear new standards, with mail voting already underway in some states. The latest: U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee in Washington, D.C., concluded Congress empowered the Postal Service to move mail, not to force states to enroll mail voters in a federal portal or to refuse ballots that fail its checks. Nichols' ruling follows a similar order from U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston blocking parts of the same rule. The 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals left Talwani's injunction in place on Sept. 10. Talwani's order found the postal rules violate the U.S. Constitution and federal statute, while Nichols' new ruling relied entirely on his finding that Congress' Postal Reorganization Act doesn't allow many of the new rules. The White House and USPS did not immediately return requests for comment. Catch up quick: President Trump has long attacked mail voting, despite repeatedly using the method himself, including in August's Florida primaries . His March executive order directed the Postal Service to develop new envelope, tracking and voter-list requirements for mail voting. The Supreme Court already lifted an earlier injunction because the final rule hadn't been published yet. But after its publication, challengers returned to court and won new injunctions in Boston and D.C. The Trump administration is now asking the high court to stop Talwani's order and allow the new rules. Between the lines: Nichols said USPS might have the authority to issue rules on ballot-envelope designs, but he blocked the whole rule, finding its design, portal and rejection provisions too intertwined. Friction point: Even with enforcement blocked, voluntary preparations have exposed how exacting the new system could be. USPS initially rejected envelope designs from Florida's Leon County, a heavily Democratic area that includes Tallahassee, because the words "Return Service Requested" were 0.014 inches too close to other text, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. An anonymous USPS whistleblower also told Congress the Postal Service's portal was rushed, and a single scanning error could cause a batch of ballots to be rejected. The bottom line: The Supreme Court could rule on Talwani's injunction at any time. But Nichols' order now gives the administration a second injunction to overcome before it can enforce its mail ballot rules.

centermainstreamAug 26, 2026Judge lifts nationwide block on Trump's mail voting order
A federal judge removed a nationwide ban on President Trump's sweeping mail-in voting policy Wednesday after the Supreme Court cleared the way earlier this week. The big picture: The decision removes the last major legal obstacle to the administration's plan, though it does not end the court challenges over the embattled rule. Driving the news: Citing the Supreme Court's Monday decision in a separate case, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani vacated her August preliminary injunction . Her order was without prejudice. That means plaintiffs can amend their complaint and seek a new injunction now that the Postal Service has issued its final rule. Talwani, who also presided over the separate case that made its way to the Supreme Court, determined it was "likely that the Supreme Court would apply the same reasoning" to her nationwide injunction. "Despite acknowledging that the disposition of the government's emergency application 'does not mean that any measure taken by the Government to implement the Order will necessarily be lawful,' the Supreme Court found any judicial review of the merits unavailable at this time," she wrote, quoting the Supreme Court's unsigned majority opinion. Catch up quick: The Supreme Court did not decide on the merits of Trump's executive order in halting Talwani's separate injunction, which only applied to the states that sued over it. Rather, the majority determined it was too soon to determine if the states had suffered any injury. "Federal courts review final rules, not proposed rules—and certainly not antecedent internal directives to propose a rule," the majority wrote. "If the Postal Service's final rule harms the States, they may challenge that rule." USPS has published its rule, triggering yet another lawsuit from a group of states, with the midterms nearing on the horizon. This is a breaking news story and will be updated.

centermainstreamAug 25, 2026Trump administration violated court order on mail-voting rules, judge says
A Massachusetts judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated a nationwide injunction by finalizing a rule that would significantly overhaul mail voting if allowed to take effect. Why it matters: The order allows the Trump administration to publish the rule Wednesday, but the U.S. Postal Service remains barred from making the dramatic changes to mail-in ballots. Driving the news: "Defendants cannot contend that they misunderstood the scope of the court's order, " U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani wrote in a five-page filing Tuesday afternoon. "Accordingly, despite the Defendants' protestations that '[t]he United States takes its obligation to comply with court orders very seriously,' the court finds that Defendants violated the preliminary injunction in this case." Catch up quick: Tuesday's ruling came in response to a motion from the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts asking Talwani to enforce her nationwide injunction blocking the new mail-ballot rules. The injunction bars the administration from directing USPS to reject ballot mail that doesn't comply with the administration's new design requirements until after the 2026 midterms. It also bars the administration from "initiating or completing rulemaking" to implement the new criteria. Yes, but: Talwani declined to implement any of the remedies the LWV requested. Zoom in: The Trump administration argued in an Aug. 25 filing that publishing the new rule did not violate the nationwide injunction because the rule's language specifically says the USPS won't implement the rule while the injunction is in place. Therefore, merely publishing the rule doesn't violate Talwani's order. The administration also insists that the final rule needed an effective date before the midterms so states would have enough time to comply if the injunction were lifted. Zoom out: The administration also argued that the Supreme Court's ruling Monday in a separate challenge to Trump's mail-voting executive order undercuts Talwani's preliminary injunction. SCOTUS paused a separate injunction Monday, finding the 23 states and D.C. could not challenge the impending policy before the rulemaking process was completed. The justices explicitly said the states could challenge USPS's final rule if it harms them, but found the states lacked standing because any alleged harm hadn't yet happened. The government argues that reasoning means Talwani should not have issued the preliminary injunction and should now vacate it. Talwani did not address the administration's reasoning regarding the Supreme Court's newest order, nor did she decide whether to lift the preliminary injunction. What we're watching: The coalition of states involved in the Supreme Court case is expected to sue the administration once the final rule is published.

leftmainstreamAug 25, 2026Supreme court threatens midterms mail-in voting as it backs Trump plan | First Thing
US president has been obsessed with restricting the ability to vote by mail, despite using it himself. Plus, why we are still fascinated with Meg from the White Stripes Don’t already get First Thing in your inbox? Sign up here Good morning. The US supreme court has sided with Donald Trump in his effort to crack down on mail-in voting , though it is unclear whether or not his administration will be able to take action before the midterm elections in November. The court’s justices voted 6-3 along ideological lines to lift an injunction that a judge in Massachusetts had placed in June on an executive order issued by the president. But a second injunction remains in place, and the ruling leaves room for legal challenges. Trump has repeatedly likened voting by mail to cheating, despite his own use of it and overwhelming evidence that the system is secure. In March he ordered the government to create a “state citizenship list” of eligible voters, requiring that mail-in ballots only be delivered to people on that list. He also directed the justice department to prioritise investigations and prosecutions of state and local election officials who issue ballots to people deemed ineligible to vote in federal elections. What did the dissenting judges say? In a blistering dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote that the decision “needlessly injects chaos and uncertainty into the upcoming midterm elections”. How have rights organisations reacted? The president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Derrick Johnson, said: “Let this ruling be a reminder that democracy is never, ever guaranteed. We have to fight for it, we have to fight to keep it and we have to protect the rights we do have within it … they are trying to do everything they possibly can to make it difficult for you to vote.” How has Canada reacted? The country’s prime minister, Mark Carney, told reporters that Trump’s announcement was largely expected. “It’s not a surprise for us that the US would take some form of reprisal to our response to their unjustified tariff,” he said. Carney has vowed to match the American tariffs “dollar for dollar”, and said Canada could not accept any proposed trade deal that would weaken French language protections . Continue reading...
