Friend,

Trump tried to steal your ballot.

The Supreme Court just told him no.

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES No. 26A305 UNITED STATES
POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. U. CALIFORNIA, ET AL. ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026] The application for stay presented to JUSTICE
JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is
unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District
Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable
for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring. In my view, based on the briefing the
Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair
prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's
statutory authority. See 39 U.S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule in
the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of
the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election
officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule
before the elections. See 39 U.S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A).
For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay.

His administration went to the Court begging for permission to kneecap mail-in voting six weeks before Election Day. Seven justices looked at that request and laughed it out of the room.

This is what desperation looks like.

Donald Trump (noted mail-in voter) has spent years screaming that mail-in voting is a scam. Now he's trying to kill it because he knows he's losing. Trump doesn't want to rig the election anymore, he needs to.

But don't think for a second he's done. There's always another scheme, another agency, another last-minute legal stunt. He will try again. He always does.

But that just means we have to be ready. Trump’s next scam is right around the corner, and the only thing standing in the way is movements like ours.

Chip in to help us drown out Trump’s next scheme >>
