USPS pushes back measures that ensure mail ballots arrive on time

Here are the 6 treasonous paid off Democrats that voted in favor of merging Israel’s military with the United States. They should all be voted out.
I would have more respect for these Democratic Senators if they just acknowledged Lindsey Graham was a duplicitous, war-crazed, sniveling liar who would say or do anything to keep himself close to the levers of power. We don’t need to do this decency dance every time one of these immoral fucks dies.
This is code red. Trump is not screwing around. We will lose this country unless we are vigilant with what’s going on in terms of election security. WAKE UP PEOPLE! Trump is coming after democracy as we know it.

How severely should we punish immigrant babies? Should we deprive them of food & torture them with lights on 24/7? Should we permanently damage their intellectual development to where they stop talking & start wetting or hitting themselves? No? Well, Trump & his #ICE thugs are doing just that!🧵
The Pentagon has quietly hired a J6 rioter. Elias Irizarry entered the Capitol through a broken window carrying a metal pole and pleaded guilty, he is now a political appointee in the Defense Department that oversees irregular warfare and counterterrorism. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
🚨BREAKING: NJ state police slam anti-ICE protesters with their shields and fire flash bang grenade smack dab in the middle of dense crowd of protesters. WE'RE LIVE ⬇️

The Trump administration is moving to evict nearly 1,000 bison from federal grasslands in Montana. Handing the land over to cattle ranchers at heavily subsidized grazing rates.
We are already so desensitized that a former FBI director gets indicted over seashells on a beach, a governor halts an active election, & it barely breaks through. Elias is warning us: The people who can speak out must speak out. And that includes all of us. Let’s get loud 🔥
