At this time of year, there's a lot of social-media chatter about voting machines flipping votes. They're not. Here's what's really happening: apnews.com/article/vote-flip…

USPS has instituted new policies of delaying postmarking of mail ballot and delivery.
ProPublica shows this has led more people's votes to be tossed, *&* that this is affecting disproportionately rural (red) counties with worse service to begin with.

The Tohono O’odham Nation straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, and thousands of members live in Mexico.
The Trump administration’s 62-mile border wall would be an attack on tribal sovereignty, members and leaders say.

🚨 Reuters SCOOP
DOJ gave California 48 hours to match its voter rolls with a thumb drive that got dropped off on Tuesday with the names of suspected noncitizen voters.
DOJ says it may sue to throw out ballots if California misses the deadline.

Sen. Collins faced Troy Jackson last night in their Maine Senate debate.
On stage, Collins inaccurately described ProPublica’s story about an FBI anticorruption investigation that probed the conduct of her & her staff until Trump’s DOJ shut it down. Let’s get into the facts…

Christa is the first person in the U.S. to survive a lethal injection.
The outcome is unprecedented but what went wrong isn’t — and shows how easily another botched execution could occur.

UPDATE In statement to 12News, Postal Service refutes @azjustinheap's claim that central Phoenix processing center was shut down & early ballots being routed thru San Diego. Heap hasn't retracted claim.
Why is GOP Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap already blaming Postal Service for early ballot delays? 12news.com/article/news/poli…

Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said.
It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX:

NEW: The presidential TV pool has been suspended as networks react to the White House's ongoing ban of CNN.
That means, for now, that no major TV network will provide coverage of Trump's events, including today's appearances at the WH and his trip to the United Nations.

📬 SCOOP: USPS chief told associates he wants to quit, sources say
Long running frustrations over USPS finances boiled over after a June Senate hearing, sources tell me.
The postmaster previously aired thoughts of quitting. Then postal industry execs took him golfing w/ Trump.

I'm saddened to hear of Paul Bender's passing. He was always my first call when I had a question about the Arizona Constitution and I enjoyed our many conversations through the years. He was a great guy and he'll be missed.
It is with great sadness I learned of the passing of my favorite law professor and mentor Paul Bender. Professor Bender’s clear-eyed analysis of the Supreme Court helped make me the lawyer I am today. He was kind and funny and I will miss him.
