Friend,
On Saturday, internal United States Postal Service documents were released showing a 7-to-9 percent decline in mail delivery going back to July—a slowdown far worse than previously known.
These blockbuster documents directly contradict testimony by Postmaster General and Trump donor Louis DeJoy and provide the most concrete evidence to date of how the Trump administration's attacks on the postal service will disenfranchise voters this November unless swift action is taken to reverse the damage caused by DeJoy and Trump.
But the corporate media barely even took note of these stunning revelations.
As usual, the corporate media was too busy covering the latest shiny object from Donald Trump, from the inane QAnon conspiracy theory to Trump's birther lies about Kamala Harris.
As the November election approaches, Trump's voter suppression tactics will only accelerate. It is imperative that Common Dreams has the resources to report out everything the Trump administration and Republicans are doing to disenfranchise voters and undermine the election. And as a nonprofit news source, we refuse corporate advertising and instead rely on donations from our readers to make sure we have the freedom and independence to follow the facts and not just chase clicks, ratings, and ad revenue.
We are in the middle of our pre-election Summer Fundraising Campaign, aiming to raise $80,000 by September 1. Once that fundraising campaign ends, we will have to finalize budget decisions about how much staff time and resources we can commit to covering the election. That's why we cannot fall short.
Will you chip in to help support nonprofit progressive journalism to stop the slow-motion coup that Donald Trump is engineering in order to undermine the November election and keep himself in power?
