Re the postal service interference. The USPS is already practicing slowing deliveries to blue areas. For example a letter from Iowa to Fairfax County Virginia (kind of blue) takes 11 days. Iowa to Richmond, not as blue, 4 days. The USPS can certainly find ways to better select regions for slower mails so even early mailed ballots cannot be timely counted. (Only a two letter sample, but possibly instructive)
The link to the APWU website comment form takes you to a message field with an un-editable pre-filled message. Is there another place where public comment can be made about the proposed postal service interference in mail ballot distribution?
So get rid of USAID, the Peace Corps, our overseas bases. And why not close all the embassies? America is now, thanks to Trump, so great we do not need the rest of the world. And while at it, just eliminate passports so they cannot be used for vote fraud. Really, why would a true American want to leave for another not so great country? All these actions will save hundreds of billions and make voting tons less fraudulent.
Please consider submitting your concerns regarding Executive Order 14399 (Ballots by mail). Please see link below. You can send in your comments by email, but they have to be sent by 7/2/26! Not much time! All information is available in link:
Thank you! The website has a variety of short templates which you can use or take ideas from to make your own statements. We really need to email en- masse before July 2nd...
HELLO CONTRARIAN: as noted below the pre-fill letter on the postal worker union site has issues. Specifically, if you don’t edit the letter, the pre-fill text says “as a postal worker” etc. Lots of people will just click submit without editing. Is there another place we can send a comment besides thru that link to postal worker union site?
Today SCOTUS, "calling balls and strikes", as Justice Roberts likes to say, decided to "Strike Out" immigrants to the US, more than 50 years after Congress passed humane asylum immigration legislation. They did this knowing full well that our Immigration Czar, Steven Miller, is a full on neo-Nazi, white nationalist, itching to throw as many non-white immigrants out of the US as he can. And probably African Americans too, who's forefathers have been in America for many, many more generations than Miller.
Of course, the "joke" is actually on Steven Miller. The people SCOUTS is empowering, will happily toss Miller into an Auschwitz style oven. He maybe a fascist, but he's also Jewish, so there is no way he qualifies as a true American.
How could we possibly have gotten to this point in America? We are so much better than this.
Rally the republican congress to stop being scared sycophants to trump. It is hard for me to believe that they know not what they are doing which is supporting the effort to destroy American democracy, and switch it to a Orban/Putin style government where trump leads the grift, the people suffer especially republican voters. What this country needs now is to start rallying in the streets virtually every single day until the election in November. trump is already pushing the supposed Save America crap that will make voting rights collapse under the weight of autocracy. How people can see this criminal felon, including all that voted for him, that he is totally out of control, and that nobody is stopping him. If this goes on we all can kiss off America, and have a mob boss nation that will take decades to unravel. If it isn't fought for outright now then all is lost.
The link to the Postal Workers Union site, where one could voice support for keeping voting by mail, was extremely confusing. I think it would discourage people from voicing their support. I recommend checking out such links before posting them on your otherwise helpful Substack. Thank you.

KK in Sebastopol, CA
I had the same experience! Please send the corrected link!
I filled in my info and was directed to a letter which I was able to edit and send.

I love posting in a place where you can feel free and unthreatened to let your inner sarcasm run wild. Excellent.

I tried in vain to make a comment. I believe the FCC set it up to frustrate those who want to comment since few admirers ever do.
Same here. I tried over and over again yesterday and now again with the code in the article.

Here's a link I found on the FCC's site listing the Most Active Proceedings:
https://www.fcc.gov/rulemaking/most-active-proceedings
The top listed one (Proceeding Number 26-124) is the one you want, which takes you here:
https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?proceedings_name=26-124&sort=date_disseminated%2CDESC
It appears to be the one associated with Disney. At the top of the page is a link to "Submit a Filing"
Best of luck
