  1. Just a reminder in this #elections season, campaigns get the biggest bang-for-the-buck from person-to-person canvassing; followed by person-to-person phone calls. These two campaign tactics yield the highest percentage lift in voter activation. Text messaging follows, presuming ‘warm lists’, and is cheap. Though a lower percentage lift, broadcast SMS ‘get-out-the-vote” (GOTV) reminders are cheap and have a high ROI. Digital ads have a lower percentage lift & a lower ROI.

    #Trump Slams #SupremeCourt Over #MailBallot Ruling

    In a blistering attack on the court, President Trump said “these are not the people I interviewed” to serve as justices.

    By Tyler Pager, Sept. 15, 2026

    "President Trump on Tuesday assailed the Supreme Court’s decision to block his administration’s efforts to change #MailVoting and issued a blistering criticism of the three justices he appointed during his first term.

    " 'These are not the people I interviewed to serve on the United States Supreme Court,' he wrote on social media, referring to Justices #AmyConeyBarrett, #BrettKavanaugh and #NeilGorsuch .

    " 'They 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.'

    "The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an executive order by Mr. Trump that would have drastically changed how Americans vote by mail ahead of the midterm elections. Mr. Trump has long railed against #MailInVoting and suggested it is rife with cheating — even though he has voted by mail in recent elections."

  8. Also worth asking whether the postmaster general will abide by the Court’s decision or whether the rampant uncertainties to this point have undermined the ability of the USPS to do what SCOTUS now requires of them. #uspol #elections2026 #democracy

  9. Wel’ll take the win, obviously.

    But, on the other hand, Trump’s bullshit crusade has already eroded trust in our elections and damaged our democracy as a result.

    Many millions of USAians now believe that the will of the majority, our closest approximation of the common good, isn’t. #uspol #elections2026 #democracy

  15. #Whistleblower Says #Trump Officials Are Defying Court Orders on #VotingByMail

    A report detailed “grave concerns” that a new system being rushed into use by the U.S. Postal Service could imperil millions of mail ballots ahead of the midterm elections.

    Chris Cameron
    By Chris Cameron
    Reporting from Washington
    Sept. 1, 2026

    Excerpt: "A U.S. Postal Service official has alleged that the agency is moving forward with a 'secretive, rushed' effort to carry out President Trump’s order exerting federal control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking those plans.

    "The official filed a whistle-blower report, published on Tuesday morning by the office of Senator Richard Blumenthal, Democrat of Connecticut, asserting that the 'risky and haphazard' implementation of Mr. Trump’s order could lead to a 'catastrophic failure' in the mail ballot system ahead of this year’s #MidtermElections. The report said that the agency had planned to complete the new digital system overseeing mail ballots by Sept. 1.

    " 'Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all,' the official said in the report, which was prepared with the assistance of #WhistleblowerAid, a nonprofit group that represents people seeking to expose potential lawbreaking.

    Speaking to reporters by phone on Monday, Mr. Blumenthal said of the report that 'the main takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans. One-third of all Americans cast their ballots by mail, and the #USPS puts all of their votes at risk.'

    "A Postal Service official declined to comment on the record."

  16. Postal Service Rule Could Bar Millions From #VotingByMail

    A judge temporarily blocked the agency from refusing to deliver ballots in #noncompliant states, which could disproportionately affect #Democrats and many battleground elections.

    By Reid J. Epstein, Aug. 30, 2026

    Excerpt: "Voting by mail would become much more difficult, if not impossible, for tens of millions of Americans if the #USPostalService is allowed to implement a restrictive rule governing mail voting that President Trump has demanded.

    "The effects would likely be greater for #DemocraticVoters, who vote by mail in higher numbers than #Republicans, and in states where mail voting is universal or nearly so. #MailVoting may not happen at all in states that resist the #Trump administration’s demands for #VoterData .

    "The rule would particularly affect people in #rural areas and #OlderVoters, who tend to cast ballots by mail in greater numbers. It could also deeply affect states where some of the most competitive races for House, Senate and governor will determine control of Congress and state governments.

    " #Michigan, where 37 percent of votes were cast by mail in 2022, would be one epicenter, with hard-fought statewide contests and multiple battleground House races. #California, which mails ballots to all voters, is expected to be central to Democratic efforts to win a majority in the House.

    "The rule is being challenged in several lawsuits, and it is on hold temporarily following a federal judge’s ruling on Thursday. The administration is appealing. Even if the Postal Service is permitted to proceed, it is unclear that it would have time to implement the plan ahead of an election that is fewer than 70 days away.

    "For instance, the rule requires states to upload a list of voters to a federal mail ballot portal that is not yet online. Nearly two dozen Democratic-led states and #WashingtonDC , have sued to block the proposed rule and said they will not comply with it.

    "If the agency were to move ahead, state and local officials would shoulder enormous costs in what would need to be a herculean effort to prepare election offices and educate voters in time for the midterm elections in November.

    "The most dramatic aspect of the proposed rule is a plan to deny services for election mail entirely in states that do not turn over #VoterData, which federal officials say they want to use to identify noncitizens on state #VoterRolls. The policy would upend mail voting in any state that does not comply, but the effects would be measurably greater in the smaller number of states that rely heavily on mail voting.

    "More than one in three Democrats voted by mail in 2024, compared with about one in four Republicans, according to estimates by the States United Democracy Center, which examined voting data in 32 states where it was available.

    " 'It’s not that complicated,' said Marc Elias, the Democratic election lawyer, who said the new policy was a blatant effort to disenfranchise Democrats. 'The administration knows that Democrats are more likely to vote by mail than Republicans. Donald Trump has demonized voting by mail and made that differential even greater.' "

  17. Republican nominee for #Maine governor says he wants #ICEAgents at #Polling places in the state

    The Maine Democratic Party criticized the idea as likely illegal and an attempt to intimidate voters.

    by PATRICK WHITTLE and MATT BROWN,
    August 26, 2026

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — "Maine’s Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall’s midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

    "During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask #TomHoman, the White House #BorderCzar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before #ElectionDay. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

    " 'Here’s my secret,; Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. 'I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Tom’s an awesome guy.'

    " 'I’m going to ask Tom, I’m going to actually — three or four weeks before the election, maybe three — I’m going to make an appeal for ICE and #USMarshals to be at our voting booths,' Charles said, according to the audio."

    "Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by #SmearCampaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control #voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."

    Supreme Court Allows Trump to Pursue Mail Voting Limits, for Now

    The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.

  19. *Poof!* Years of #Trump Support Came Undone in 15 Minutes in an Airport.

    The case represents a new front in President Trump’s #MassDeportation drive: arrests at airports of people who have active immigration cases and no criminal history.

    "Mr. Jindra considered himself a #MAGA patriot until his wife’s detention."

    By Miriam Jordan
    Published August 16, 2026, updated August 17, 2026

    "#BrentJindra, a tech salesman, voted for President #Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

    "Last month, moments after the couple got off their flight in Burbank, Calif., a young man in a brown hooded sweatshirt stopped #GalinaBobreneva.

    " 'Congratulations, you’ve been chosen for secondary screening,' he told her, according to the couple’s recollection.
    The man was a federal agent, and after questioning Ms. Bobreneva for about 15 minutes, he led her away in handcuffs to an unmarked vehicle.

    “ 'I’m only doing my job,' he said. 'Everything will be OK.'

    "So began a 16-day ordeal: a night on the floor of a basement holding cell in downtown Los Angeles; two weeks in a Mojave Desert detention center and a frantic legal effort to win her release."
