SCOTUS Clears USPS Rule on Standing, Not Policy — 4dThe Postal Service has issued a 95-page final rule to tighten mail-in voting, requiring states to share voter data and barcode information and stipulating that ballots be delivered only if states comply with the new standards; the rule could take immediate effect if court injunctions are lifted. Courts have blocked the changes, with injunctions from California, Massachusetts, and Boston delaying implementation ahead of the midterm elections, while President Trump’s March executive order underpins the rule’s aims.

Court actions shape USPS mail-in rules for 2026 midterms — 3dThe 2026 midterms are shaping up as a battle over Trump’s enduring influence, with mixed predictions on House and Senate control and the potential for executive actions and court rulings to influence governance and oversight. Beyond the national race, local battles and policy fights—from Confederate-named schools and stricter mail-in voting rules under the Trump administration to Heidi Overton’s FDA nomination and the Supreme Court’s shadow docket—could reshape reproductive rights, voting access, and the balance of power.
