What did the USPS rule propose about delivering mail-in ballots?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
The United States Post Office suffered a major loss in federal court after trying to execute on Donald Trump's voter suppression executive orders, saying that they will not deliver mail from any states with people's mail-in ballots unless the state provides its voter rolls to Donald Trump. And so that the United States Postal Service will just not deliver your mail. Now a federal judge rejected that and now what the Trump regime is saying is that they will suffer irreparable harm if a court of appeals does not stay a district court order blocking the United States Postal Service from refusing to deliver mail. How do you know you're in a fascist regime? When your postal service refuses to deliver your votes.

And when the postal service becomes a literal tool of the regime, that's how you know that you're becoming a fascist. By the way, I also said, how do you know? Even in North Korea, Kim Jong-un doesn't sign their currency. but yet Donald Trump's now forcing his signature upon our $100 bills, but I digress. You take a look right here at this notice of appeal from the United States Postal Service. Defendants hereby appeal to the DC Circuit from the District Court's order and accompanying memorandum of opinion blocking them from not delivering your mail so the u.s postal service is now asking a circuit court to pause the lower court's order and they're asking the district court to also stay its order pause it um because it doesn't want to deliver your mail in the filing that just took place this week the postal service argued that unless the court grants a stay

Why did a federal judge block the Postal Service from refusing ballot delivery?

Ben Meiselas 1:53
The injunction will severely disrupt the Postal Service efforts to promulgate a final rule fulfilling Trump's March 2026 order ahead of the November midterm elections. Our irreparable harm as the Postal Service is that we can't implement Donald Trump's unlawful executive order. That's our irreparable harm. What about the irreparable harm of people who participate in a democracy who want to vote, who want to vote by mail because they're allowed to vote by mail? I just want you to think about the audacity, the sheer like WTF of what the federal government's doing. And I'm not sure if this was even covered on any corporate news, maybe briefly. maybe a footnote in some coverage, but like this is a big deal.
Ben Meiselas 2:49
So you have the postal service posting its proposed rulemaking that it won't deliver your ballots. Then it was sued by the NAACP and others saying, yeah, this shouldn't be taking place. And then the NAACP and others won in the district court. And now the USPS, the Postal Service, is saying we don't want to deliver people's mail. And it goes on to contend that the NAACP is improperly splitting claims because it filed a separate lawsuit.

How is the USPS arguing 'irreparable harm' to justify an appeal?

Ben Meiselas 3:24
They don't have standing. We need citizenship lips from each state. um and then they said that they suffer these irreparable harms before the election and so i just want you to see like what efforts are actually being taken place behind the scenes to suppress your vote also bringing harry littman and just mentioned this too not sure if you saw trump has made a post that he wants his so-called save america act which is his voter suppression law attached to the military budget Then he goes back to war with Iran, knowing that we'll need a military budget, which, by the way, he shouldn't get any of it, attaches the Save America Act to that as well, and then says, well, you don't support our troops now unless you pass the Save America Act, which is the Voter Suppression Act, and then refuses to sign a housing affordability law, Harry.
Ben Meiselas 4:20
And so You know, there's so much that this Trump regime throws in our faces every day. Weapon of mass distraction, Donald Trump's personal fraud covering up child pedo rings. know the daily border patrol and ice gestapo still killing people and then you got something like this harry which it's like rule making of the u.s postal service so it feels in the weeds but harry this means they don't want to deliver your ballot that's what the u.s postal service is arguing they shouldn't deliver your mail
