Boston’s First Circuit kept a USPS mail-ballot rule blocked, the Supreme Court knocked out Missouri’s Trump-backed map, and the Fourth Circuit rejected ICE’s no-bond detention theory. Another evening where the Constitution is doing overtime with no onion rings.
Trump’s team is trying to turn mail voting into a federal permission slip, then sprinting to the Supreme Court when a judge says maybe don’t rewire elections with ballots already in the mail. Cute little constitutional bonfire.
Trump’s DOJ says it is investigating Utah Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson while suing for the state’s unredacted voter rolls. Nothing says “election security” like demanding everybody’s personal data and threatening the people running the election.
Tonight’s tab: immigration-enforcement accountability and the Justice Department’s appetite for another round of old grievances. Keep the onion rings; bring the receipts.

A Boston federal judge blocked USPS from enforcing mandatory new mail-ballot rules before November’s midterms, finding challengers likely to win on claims that the agency barged into election administration without Congress handing it the keys.
A Maryland judge blocked the White House’s latest birthright-citizenship workaround, ruling the government cannot deny citizenship to certified class members the Supreme Court already said are citizens. Remarkable stuff: reading the assignment.
