BREAKING: HELL YES! A Trump-appointed federal judge delivers him a CRUSHING defeat by ordering the U.S. Postal Service to ignore his illegal executive order restricting mail-in voting. This is a massive win for democracy itself... “Plaintiffs have demonstrated that, absent an injunction, there is an increased risk that a significant number of otherwise appropriate absentee or mail-in ballots will ultimately not be counted in the upcoming elections,” wrote U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols, issuing a preliminary injunction. “The public has a strong interest in ensuring that doesn’t happen.” This ruling adds to a separate ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani against Trump's blatant attempt to undermine the midterm elections. Fully aware that he is historically unpopular and his party is heading into a midterms disaster, Trump is trying to erect as many barriers to the ballot box as possible. He knows that if fewer people are able to vote, Republicans stand a better chance of avoiding a total electoral collapse. If the executive order is enforced, millions of Americans could end up disenfranchised. The Supreme Court is currently considering the administration's appeal of Talwani's order, and Nichols' decision further weights the case against the White House. It's worth noting that Trump's executive order would not simply rework our elections. Since there isn't sufficient time to properly implement the changes — which would require ALL ballot envelope designs to be pre-approved by the Postal Service, as well as the uploading of data identifying mail voters to an online portal that is currently non-functioning — Trump is clearly just trying to inject chaos into the midterms. He doesn't care if his order can be implemented properly, he wants to be able to point to the failure of implementation as a pretext to claim that the election was illegal or stolen once his party loses. "No statute grants the Postal Service the power to issue key parts of the rule," wrote Nichols. Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!

BREAKING: WE LOVE IT! Pope Leo beautifully trolls MAGA racists by celebrating America's 250th birthday with a heartfelt celebration of immigrants. Just when you thought you couldn't possibly like him even more... "I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all Americans on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence," stated the first American Pope. "This semiquincentennial marks that defining moment in the history of the United States of America, July 4, 1776, that gave enduring voice to the ideals of liberty, equality, the pursuit of happiness, justice and democratic self-government." Tragically, those ideals are under constant assault from Donald Trump, a President who has marked this Pope as one of his primary antagonists on the world stage. Leo has dared to criticize Trump's brutal treatment of migrants as well as his illegal war against Iran. Trump has attacked him, but clearly Leo remains unbowed. "For two and a half centuries, generations of Americans have worked together to carry these principles forward — through sacrifice, service, innovation and civic participation," the Pope continued. "This anniversary stands as an invitation not only to celebrate the nation’s remarkable journey, but also to reflect upon the responsibilities that the sons and daughters of this country bear to one another, and to the generations who will inherit the nation that is being shaped today." He went on to celebrate America's tradition of religious freedom, another principle that's under attack from a MAGA movement that wants to install a fascist Evangelical theocracy. But it was the section on immigrants that really has Republicans incensed— "Defending human life also includes welcoming, protecting and assisting immigrants, whose hopes, sacrifices and contribution have formed part of the history of this country from its very beginning," said Leo. "In every generation, those who have arrived seeking freedom, opportunity and a place to belong have helped to shape the nation’s character. To receive them with compassion and generosity is not only an act of charity, but also a recognition of the dignity that belongs to every human person." Contrast this patriotic message of inclusion with the hateful vitriol that constantly spews forth from the White House. Conservatives have been raging all week over the Supreme Court's decision to uphold birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, Trump will deliver a Fourth of July speech that will be partisan, self-aggrandizing, bigoted, and completely divorced from the eternal ideals that guided this nation's Founders. As far as American leadership goes, Pope Leo puts Donald Trump to shame every single time. Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Leo!
