This needs way more attention. The U.S. Postal Service has built a new system that could effectively turn USPS into a gatekeeper for mail-in ballots. Here are the details on how it is supposed to work.
A huge thank you to Patagonia! The company has joined conservation and Tribal groups in suing the Trump administration, seeking to overturn its move to shrink Bears Ears National Monument in southern Utah by more than one million acres.
The U.S. Mint has officially rolled out 250,000 new $1 coins featuring Trump’s face.

They’re getting nervous about the blue wave. House Speaker Mike Johnson says Republicans will introduce a constitutional amendment today to permanently cap the Supreme Court at nine justices.
Good news! The USPS whistleblower allegations are now officially in front of a federal judge. The groups challenging Trump’s mail-in voting executive order have submitted the whistleblower disclosure to the federal court in Massachusetts as part of their push for a preliminary injunction.
Apple Maps has caved too and changed it to “Lake America.”
UPDATE ON BIG BEND: The pause on Trump’s border construction inside Big Bend National Park has been extended through September 30. That means no bulldozing, no clearing vegetation, no cutting new roads, and no moving earth or dirt in the affected areas while the legal fight continues.
BREAKING: A U.S. Postal Service official has filed a whistleblower report alleging the agency is pushing ahead with a “secretive, rushed” effort to implement Trump’s order giving the federal government more control over mail voting, despite a court order blocking the plan.
Trump’s latest victim is DEI bike paths. Yes, apparently bike paths are woke now. Honest question, what exactly is a DEI bike path?
Congratulations to MapQuest for becoming the #1 navigation app in the App Store. And thanks for being the navigation app of the resistance! ✊
The Supreme Court has allowed construction on Trump’s ballroom to continue.

Haha, a more fitting logo for Google.
This is awesome! Someone is taking the Epstein files on the road. The “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” is launching a national tour Sept. 8 in Dallas, just ahead of the Republican midterm convention, where Trump is expected to appear.
They were spot on. This was The New York Times Sunday Opinion section on October 27, 2024.
A win! Minnesota’s Supreme Court rejected MyPillow founder Mike Lindell’s latest attempt to force a recount after losing the Republican primary for governor by roughly 45,000 votes.

A win! A federal judge just blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to overhaul a HUD program that funds nonprofits fighting housing discrimination. The changes would have redirected funding and left many fair housing groups competing for far fewer grants.

Google Maps has officially caved and changed the map.
Does Trump have to destroy and kill things everywhere he goes, every single day? More than 60 trees have now been cut down at the historic East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C. as Trump pushes ahead with
Well, this is fun. 😂 Ottawa, Canada, is considering renaming Trump Avenue, and two of the top contenders are “Obama Avenue” and “Taco Avenue.” 🇨🇦
ICE plans to spend as much as $2 million on Boston Dynamics robot “dogs” for ICE operations. Because apparently what immigration enforcement was missing was robot dogs.

A real “I didn’t think the leopards would eat MY face” moment. lol. Milo Yiannopoulos, the self-described libertarian and professional internet troll who built a career around controversial right-wing politics, is now in ICE custody.
The Trump administration is considering giving a private developer access to land inside Yosemite National Park so they can build a road to an 83-acre property they want to develop right outside the park. The National Park Service already rejected the same request years ago, and the previous
Thanks to everyone who joined the March on Washington! ✊
Going to be honest, after MapQuest refused to change the names of the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario, we looked them up thinking we might have to print out directions like the old days. 😂
A huge win! Now that USPS finalized its rule and created actual harm, a federal judge tonight blocked the Postal Service regulation that would have given the agency new control over mail-in ballots.
WTG MapQuest! ✊
So while MAGA is out celebrating “Lake America,” let’s look at what Trump actually erased with this rename.
