Already registered voters may want to check their registration status.

A key set of census results is used to determine how many congressional seats and electoral college votes each state gets for a decade.

The 14th Amendment says those results must include the, quote, whole number of persons in each state.

But Missouri is asking a federal court to order the Census Bureau to exclude residents without legal status and those with visas from the 2030 census and the 2020 census.

No state resident has ever been excluded from a U.S.

census because of their immigration status.

Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia filed a similar lawsuit last year.

Republican lawmakers have introduced bills, and President Trump has voiced his support while pushing for redistricting to help Republicans keep control of the U.S.

Tens of millions of households and businesses rely on the U.S.

Postal Service to deliver mail and packages six days a week to every address in the country.

But the federal agency generally receives no tax dollars to keep running.

It relies instead on stamp and shipping fees.

With the rise of digital communication and more competition from private shipping services, USPS tells the Government Accountability Office it's on track to run out of cash in fiscal year 2029.

That's assuming USPS keeps paying down its liabilities for worker pension benefits at roughly the same level.

To try to boost revenue in 2026, USPS says it's taking bids from large and small businesses for special shipping rates for its nationwide delivery service.

Some industry experts say that could push Amazon and other big shippers to stop relying on the postal service.
