While the Supreme Court lifted the block on Trump’s anti-mail voting order, it made no determination on whether the president’s order or the USPS rule was legal – on that score, they said, “time will tell.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

‘Trump ultimately wants the chaos’: States can’t implement anti-mail voting order before midterms, experts warn

“We are way too close to an election for any major changes,” Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold told Democracy Docket.

Trump just announced he's considering changing the names of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Changing the Atlantic will make groceries more affordable and changing the Pacific will make gas prices come down.
