Trump's USPS "glitch" to STEAL midterms

A USPS insider has told Congress that Trump's new mail-in ballot screening program — rushed into place after the Supreme Court cleared it last week — is so poorly tested that a single scanning error could reject entire batches of ballots before November.

Senator Richard Blumenthal called the implementation "perilously rushed and potentially unlawful" in a letter to Postmaster General David Steiner. The executive order that created this system was in legal limbo for months; the Supreme Court didn't rule it legal, but did allow it to proceed anyway.

The whistleblower also accused USPS of defying court orders in its rush to implement. There are nine weeks until the midterms.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said yesterday that ICE agents could be deployed to polling sites this November — framing it as a response to "specific threats."

There is no credible evidence of threats at polling places.

Congress returned from recess and got straight to work — condemning socialism.

8 Democrats voted with Republicans.

No comparable resolution condemning fascism — the thing that’s actually happening — has passed the House.

The resolution almost didn't make it. Five Republicans actually voted against the procedural rule — not because they love socialism, but because they were mad at leadership over a funding bill. Their protest votes nearly killed the whole thing.

Then two Democrats saved it. Reps. Jared Golden and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez provided the decisive votes, pushing the rule through 209 to 208. They reportedly blindsided Hakeem Jeffries when they sided with Republicans’ broader agenda. Nancy Pelosi would never have let that happen.

This was their first day back from vacation. Congress gets more paid vacation than virtually any American worker — roughly 170 days off a year, compared to the average worker's 11.

Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll resigned after 18 months of internal clashes with Pete Hegseth — with no official explanation given, while thousands of U.S. soldiers are deployed in the Middle East.

A senior Senate Democrat said Hegseth has "hollowed out" the Army's senior ranks.

The White House called Driscoll "highly effective" on his way out the door, which imay tell you why he left. Trump is now nominating loyalist and acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao to the permanent role amid reports that sailors are being stretched to the limit.

Meanwhile, Democratic Rep. Melanie Stansbury has issued a call to remove Pete Hegseth from office, a move that cannot happen quickly enough.

Sen. Ed Markey demolished moderate Seth Moulton in the Massachusetts Democratic primary Tuesday night, leading 65% to 35% with about half the votes counted — a blowout that hands the progressive wing a clean, unambiguous victory.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley all backed Markey, who has now beaten back two "generational change" primary challenges in five years.

Moulton, 47, made Markey's age — he'll be 86 when his Senate term ends in 2032 — the centerpiece of his campaign, but Democratic voters weren't buying what the party's moderate flank was selling.

Bari Weiss personally directed an Islamophobic headline linking Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed to the 9/11 attacks, according to CBS News staffers who spoke with Status's Oliver Darcy.

Weiss praised the story in CBS's daily editorial meeting and pushed to make the headline explicitly reference El-Sayed's deleted tweets about September 11 — tweets in which the former public health official had made the same Covid-death-toll comparisons that countless other leaders and outlets made at the time.

Senior CBS staff flagged the story to the standards department; little was done because Weiss was personally involved. One CBS employee called it "shameful" and said "the racism is overt."

“One Million Moms” — an anti-LGBTQ+ group that actually has nowhere near that many moms — is pressuring Paramount and TV Land to yank a 30-second healthcare commercial aimed at preventing HIV. The ad's entire message: talk to your doctor about PrEP, a lifesaving HIV prevention medication.

More than 1.5 million Americans who could benefit from PrEP still aren't on it. HIV prevention funding is already getting gutted at the federal level. And now a fringe group wants to erase even the ads that encourage people to ask questions.

Paramount hasn't caved yet. Let's make sure they don't have to think twice.
