Friend,
Donald Trump admitted it: He's actively trying to sabotage the U.S. Postal Service to prevent people from voting.
Thursday morning, he told Fox Business News that he opposed including funding for the postal service in the next COVID-19 relief bill because “they need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots.”
It would be unbelievable . . . except this is Donald Trump. It's been clear all along that Trump and the Republicans will do ANYTHING to hold on to power.
With just under three months until Election Day, we need to expand our reporting capacity to watchdog the integrity of this election and Trump's efforts to undermine vote by mail.
Will you make a donation to help fund our efforts to uncover every dirty trick Trump and his friends use to suppress the vote?
Trump's admission that he's purposely undermining the post office came after last week's “Friday Night Massacre,” in which Trump's hand-picked postmaster general removed 23 key executives at the U.S. Postal Service to centralize power around himself.
We've never had a president willing to go to such lengths to undermine our democracy, and if he's already this desperate three months from election day, imagine what he'll do as November approaches and the polls are still looking bad for him.
The corporate media is too busy covering Trump's latest bizarre tweets to really focus on issues that matter. Common Dreams is the nonprofit, progressive news source committed to ensuring the integrity of our elections and making this a fairer, more just country. But without ad revenue or a corporate parent company to bankroll our operations, we count on our readers to help keep us going.
Donate now to help fund the critical reporting we're doing on Trump's efforts to undermine our democracy and sabotage the postal service.
