SCOTUS Once Again Allows Trump Administration To Keep Deporting Migrants To Random Countries
The Supreme Court just keeps giving Trump a free pass to engage in what Mike Masnick correctly called "human trafficking." It's stuff this nation has never done before because it's never been run by someone quite like Trump before. To maximize the cruelty inflicted on immigrants, the Trump administration (steered directly by its chief ghoul,...

A couple weeks ago, we wrote about the USPS whistleblower who revealed that the Postal Service had violated a preliminary injunction from a Massachusetts court in preparing to implement a horrifying Trump executive order designed to get the USPS to block the mailing of many mail-in ballots.

You Can Still Vote by Mail in Michigan: What’s Happening With the USPS Rule Now
Key parts of a new USPS rule affecting mail ballots remain blocked while several federal court cases continue, and the Trump administration has again asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene. The Supreme Court has not decided whether the final USPS rule is legal. For Michigan voters, the most important thing has not changed: you can still vote absentee by mail, return your ballot at an official drop box, and use the other voting options available under Michigan law.

GOP Begs Supreme Court To Let It Flood Airwaves With Cheap Midterm Propaganda
Back in June, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission that federal limits on coordinated expenditures by political parties violate the First Amendment, opening the floodgates to a much broader array of political ads funded via no limit of rich assholes and their preferred dark money groups.

USPS says new mail-ballot requirements are now in effect, while Michigan, other states, and voting-rights organizations have filed new court challenges aimed directly at the finalized rule.

Independence Day and the Fight for the Vote
Independence Day offers an opportunity to examine the country’s promise of self-government, the people originally denied that promise, and the generations-long fight for voting rights. This post connects that history to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais, and what Michigan voters should know about their rights today.

Supreme Court Ruling Protects States’ Ability to Count On-Time Mail Ballots
On June 29, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Watson v. RNC that federal Election Day laws do not prevent states from counting mail ballots after Election Day when state law allows a grace period and the ballot is postmarked by Election Day. Nothing has changed for voters in Michigan. Eligible Michigan voters can still vote by mail under current state law, and voters should request and return absentee ballots as early as possible.
