Araghchi says diplomacy possible if US changes course
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said a return to diplomacy with the United States remains possible, but Washington must first accept that its pressure-based approach will not work. Araghchi made the remarks on Friday after holding what he described…

The Trump admin is appealing a judge’s ruling that blocked limitations on mail voting before the midterm #elections, the latest twist in a court fight unfolding days before the first #states begin sending out #MailBallots.

Talwani wrote in her ruling, “Plaintiff #states have neither time nor funds to design new #MailBallots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the #USPS portal & upload citizen data to the portal, all before the #midterms.”

#SCOTUS majority found the Democratic lawsuit was premature, but that was before the #Trump admin issued a rule governing #USPS delivery of #MailBallots. #Election officials warn it will be impossible to implement in the days before the first wave of mail ballots are sent out next week.

Democratic #states file new lawsuit seeking to block #Trump order limiting #MailVoting in #midterms
The action, filed by about two dozen states against the #USPS, marked a new phase in the high-stakes litigation just 2 days after #SCOTUS ruled against them in a separate case, but did not say Trump’s order was #legal [jackasses].

#Meta will initially pay about $12 billion. That sum increases to $17.1 billion if #Snap, #TikTok & #YouTube also settle with the #states & agree to financial penalties & product changes.
“Meta wouldn’t settle unless it sees the writing on the wall & feels really exposed,” said Nora Freeman Engstrom, a law professor at Stanford University.

#Meta still faces numerous other lawsuits from #SchoolDistricts & individuals, some of which are scheduled for trial in the coming months.
The #settlement could signal an inflection point for a #SocialMedia industry that has largely escaped #regulatory scrutiny over the harms its products have caused #children. The settlement amount is one of the highest ever paid by a #tech company to #states.

In a dramatic capitulation, the owner of #Facebook & #Instagram agreed to the financial penalties for violating federal #child #privacy & states’ #ConsumerProtection laws, the #states announced. #Meta also agreed to limit how long #teenagers can spend on its platforms & to bans on features that stoke #MentalHealth issues,striking at the heart of the company’s business of #engagement for advertising.

The plaintiffs argue #USPS is authorized to deliver mail, not regulate who receives #MailBallots, maintain lists of mail voters or reject otherwise valid ballot mail. They also contend the rule violates the Constitution’s #SeparationOfPowers because #election administration authority belongs to #states & #Congress — not the president or USPS.

…In their original lawsuit, #Democrats argued that Trump’s order would restrict #MailVoting access & insert federal agencies into #election administration — a role the #Constitution reserves for #states & #Congress.
They are now making the same core argument against the final #USPS rule, contending that the Postal Service has no statutory authority to become a federal gatekeeper for #MailBallots.

…The move comes one day after the #SCOTUS lifted an injunction that had blocked key parts of #Trump’s order in 23 Democratic-led states & Washington, DC, ruling that the state-led challenge was premature because the order itself had not yet concretely harmed the states.
But the Democratic Party plaintiffs say their case is different because #USPS has now issued a final rule directly affecting mail voting nationwide.

#Democrats renewed their bid Tuesday to block #Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order, arguing that a newly finalized #USPS rule has eliminated the concerns that led a judge to reject their first injunction request as premature.
The filing — which argues that the USPS lacks the authority to regulate who receives a #MailBallot — is the first #litigation to challenge the order on its #merits.

SCOTUS decision from a legal position.#law #SCOTUS #Elections #States #VoteBlue #USPS
Reading the above it's clear that the injunction still holds until the USPS issues the rule which will give the states STANDING which is what SCOTUS ruled ..
Deep breathes mindfull meditation . We have many battles coming but our record in court in election cases should give you confidence.

#SCOTUS’ decision did not address the legality of #Trump’s order, only the timing of its challenge.
“The court’s disposition of this application does not mean that any measure taken by the government to implement the order will necessarily be lawful. On that score, time will tell. But the order itself does not harm the #states, so the District Court lacked jurisdiction to bar the government from trying to implement it,” SCOTUS wrote.

Another part of #Trump’s EO instructs the #USPS to impose new mandates on #states that want to send ballots through the mail, requiring that they submit their own lists of eligible voters to the agency & include info on ballot envelopes to allow those ballots to be tracked. #SCOTUS gave the USPS the green light to implement that aspect of Trump’s plan, but a lower court blocked that effort nationwide in a separate case. That means more action will be needed before USPS can move forward.

In the rule, the #USPS said that it would deliver #MailBallots ONLY in #states that shared voter data with the federal agency.
Before the USPS accepts ballots into its system, the agency would review every envelope for “compliance” with the new [illegal] standards, including by checking that the recipient was enrolled with the USPS to receive a mail ballot.

The #USPS on Friday published regulations that would restrict #MailVoting, its latest effort to comply with Trump’s call to restrict the long popular practice just months before the #midterm #elections.
In a 95-page final rule, the USPS clarified how it would carry out an executive order #Trump signed in March, which sought to restrict #MailBallots & create state-by-state lists of citizens to help determine voting “eligibility”.
