THE POSTAL SERVICE JUST BECAME DONALD TRUMP'S ELECTION SECURITY DETAIL AND HE'S ASKING THE SUPREME COURT TO MAKE IT PERMANENT One month before midterms. Read that timeline again A federal judge already looked at this rule and slammed the brakes with a restraining order. Indira Talwani said not so fast Trump's answer wasn't to back off. It was to go over her head straight to nine justices and demand they let his Postal Service put its hands on mail-in ballots while the votes are already in transit Think about what that actually means. The agency that delivers your ballot answers to Trump. Now it wants control over how that ballot moves before it's counted Not a hearing. Not a debate in Congress. An emergency request to skip the courts that are supposed to slow this exact kind of power grab down Every mail-in voter in America just became a pawn in a fight Trump started and a judge tried to stop He lost in front of a district judge and instead of accepting that he escalated straight to the highest court in the country with the clock already running on the midterms This is not normal appellate process. This is a president trying to outrun the judiciary before voters can even finish voting Ask yourself who benefits when the party in power gets to touch the ballots before they're tallied and who benefits when that same party has spent years calling mail-in voting fraudulent Trump doesn't need to rig an election if he can just get the Supreme Court to hand him the keys to the mailroom They are not going to stop and they are betting you're too exhausted to notice
