A “compelling warning of catastrophic failure which could derail the midterm elections.” That’s how a whistleblower’s account of USPS’s implementation of Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order is being described. Here are the serious flaws the report outlines: https://demdock.com/4wXFJ0F

But the agreement is not expected to include the IAEA’s Additional Protocol, which would allow for more monitoring, inspections and verification, according to one of the people. Insanity continues.
No nukes for Iran but Saudia Arabia gets a pass? 🤔 Do look out for Trump family investments in Westinghouse & other "US firms that are expected to secure related contracts". apnews.com/article/trum...

It's in Ohio Valley. It seems a little strange that it smells like burning plastic chemicals and wood. Humid, with heat and smoke. Will the weather ever get back to normal?
Thick, choking plumes of smoke from Canada's wildfires are pouring into major cities across the Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The polluted air will last through at least Saturday in some areas as new waves of smoke waft south. https://cnn.it/3Tpjm5Y

RIP Sam Neill. He was an exceptional actor and such a kind hardworking man. I'll never forget him and his family on a get away trip in Colorado, trying to decide what to do next. I asked about their decision and he said I think it's going to be dinosaurs!

Thousands of people lost coverage over as little as $8 in delinquent payments. They didn't know their zero-dollar premiums had gone up and they owed money. Most now can't get coverage until 2027. n.pr/4b83NWk
Opinions become law against innocent people, not just the illegal criminal immigrants. According to Trump’s own statements, the attorney recounted, “Somalis are ‘garbage’ and low IQ. Haitians are ‘eating the dogs and cats’ and ‘all have AIDS’ but white people from Denmark and Norway are ‘nice.’”

The city sent him a cease-and-desist, claiming he was attempting to operate an illegal prayer group in a residential area. He was restricted in driving and invited a prayer group that caused parking issues. Now, years later, he is still fighting — this time, in front of the nation’s highest court.

The US is the melting pot of cultures and immigrants. Only a very few municipalities have permitted permanent immigrant residents to vote on some issues that affect them. This was not illegal aliens voting fraud, however Republicans are claiming it as a gigantic fraud issue to restrict more votes.
🗳️ In the U.S., only citizens can vote. As of 2020, 13.7% of the people living in the U.S. were immigrants. On this July 4th holiday, we’re examining how barriers to becoming a citizen limit who is eligible to vote — and what that means for the democratic process.

An Ohio voting-rights group is insisting it did nothing to justify the "swarms" of FBI agents who fanned out across the state on June 12. Meanwhile, the FBI hasn't given any public hint of its reasons for the action or shown that they were justified. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/06/23/o...

NEW: The DOJ is asking a federal court to let it defend an Ohio law that pro-voting groups warn could prevent eligible citizens from casting ballots. The law requires documentary proof of citizenship upon registration. It marks the department's latest attempt to support voter suppression efforts.

Don’t get bitten by a radioactive spider! Just eat one of these donuts with 760x a compound that can cause chromosomal damage and is banned in the EU!
one of the products we tested, Hostess Powdered Mini Donuts, had ~19x the amount of a carcinogenic contaminant health officials say is safe to consume daily AND 760x more titanium dioxide — a white pigment banned in the EU for its potential to damage DNA — than the other products we tested combined
Some elected officials are giving NDA to future data centers? What happens when a less costly way to generate data becomes available and the data center is no longer profitable for the communities that are living with them? Why are the politicians not responding to their constituents questions?
Data center opponents give Ohio lawmakers an earful.
Overall, roughly 29% of all voters cast their ballot by mail in 2024. Estimated Democrats: Roughly 37% chose to vote by mail. Republicans: Roughly 24% chose to vote by mail. Leaving the 39% majority not affiliated with either party.It's convenient but the only way for some! They need to be counted!
NEW: The American Postal Workers Union is “deeply alarmed” about the new USPS rule carrying out Trump's attack on mail-in voting. The union says it “rejects the premise” that the USPS needs to comply with Trump’s orders.
Healthcare is a major factor and they didn't even begin to mention Medicaid frauds and malpractice. Most people don't realize, the system is designed for the private equity investors not the LTC facility,staff or quality of services. Wealthier people aren't immune to one mistake of the unexpected.

📬 USPS is planning to radically crack down on mail voting, according to a yet-to-be-published proposed rule. The agency is taking steps towards implementing Trump’s sweeping attack on mail voting ahead of the midterms – despite legal experts warning that it is blatantly unconstitutional.
