Finally got a Bluesky account (I have been reading my fav profiles for a while), but Schumer ticked me off. I had to share info about the CR. But he and 9 others vote yes anyway. They didn't listen to us.

From I remember, out of the current USPS Board of Governors, 5 are Republicans, while 3 are Democrats. David Steiner, a Republican loyalist, is Postmaster General.
I remember how DeJoy slowed down the mail.

FYI, nothing in the Constitution prohibits it AT ALL
Article I, Section 4: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof…”
This clause has been interpreted to give states broad discretion

There is federal law here and the fifth circuit ruled that Mississippi’s law allowing ballots to arrive within 5 days of ED violated federal law. The Supreme Court was asked to reverse that ruling and my guess is it will.

No, I get that. To me it’s insane to say you wouldn’t count ballots postmarked by election day.

Heads up: The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether federal law prohibits states from counting ballots that arrive after Election Day.

I have spent much time over the last few years reading numismatists great and small. As a group, they surely get the prize for "most detail-oriented scholars." They can also be judgmental (even catty), not hesitating to comment on a coin's "beauty" or lack thereof. I wait for them to do their thing

(🚨) NEW at PROOF: Do I go off here? Yes. Is it warranted? Yes. Do I explain *exactly* why this Senate deal must be seen as the rankest treachery? Yes.
Events Since the Traitorous Eight Caved Confirm That They Screwed Tens of Millions of Americans Over for Nothing
Betraying your promises, your values, your party and your countrymen is bad enough—but getting nothing in return makes the capitulation of eight Senate Democrats to a ghoul a truly grotesque display.

We’d get the promised ACA vote in the senate (unless Dems add it in the amendments portion), and then a discharge petition would force Mike Johnson to bring it to a vote on the house floor. Provided all the other stuff makes it in.

So we make a deal that allows several Republican senators in key states to vote for ACA subsidies next month and get political cover back home, but not enough to pass it. Sounds great.
