The president straight-up admitted to voter suppression.

Hey John,
I have to start this email to you with a quote I almost can’t believe is real. “Now they need that money in order to make the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots... But if they don’t get [it] that means you can’t have universal mail-in voting.”
That’s what Donald Trump said in an interview with Fox News this week. The president admitted, in indisputable terms, that his administration’s decision to block funding for the United States Postal Service (USPS) is a direct attempt to suppress the vote by preventing Americans from voting by mail.
TELL CONGRESS TO FUND VOTE-BY-MAIL [[link removed]]
The Trump administration is taking deliberate steps to prevent Americans from voting.
Young people, particularly young people of color, know how this feels—new voters and young voters have long faced structural barriers to voting, and in the last decade have faced a barrage of new voter suppression laws designed to make it even more difficult to register to vote and cast a ballot.
The Trump administration’s sabotage of the USPS comes during the deadly COVID-19 pandemic that has already killed over 160,000 people in the United States, and will undoubtedly make it harder for many Americans to cast a ballot in person this November. If unchecked, this move poses a grave threat to our democracy.
We’re going to keep fighting this—now is the time to reach out to your members of Congress about saving the USPS and fully funding vote-by-mail. [[link removed]]
With you in the fight,
