A LOT has been happening in the courts this week in our case to protect vote-by-mail – including the Trump administration asking the Supreme Court to intervene.
Here’s the latest as of Thursday afternoon, September 3.

ALT Timeline detailing legal actions against USPS rule on mail-in voting from late August to early September.
ALT “The federal government has no business playing referee over who gets a ballot in our elections. The job of the U.S. Postal Service is to deliver the mail. States run elections and this fight is about protecting the integrity of our vote.”

We got a HUGE court order last night protecting vote-by-mail: a federal court temporarily blocked Trump’s attempts to interfere with how the USPS can deliver ballots.

ALT Protecting vote-by-mail: 3 things to know • A court temporarily blocked key parts of the USPS rule that would restrict delivery of mail ballots. • We will be in court next week to make sure the rule remains blocked. • Oregon elections will be safe, secure, and accurate in November and beyond.

This Purple Heart Day,@HouseDemocrats pause to remember the service and sacrifice of the men and women who were wounded or gave their lives for our country. To every recipient and every family who stood beside them— your bravery will not be forgotten.

We are calling on the Ethics Committee to launch a thorough investigation into Representative Miller following disturbing reports of domestic violence and child abuse. No one is above accountability—including Members of Congress.

What are House Republicans doing today?
Wasting $73 billion on a failed war that is hiking costs and putting more troops in danger.
Democrats have a different idea: end it now.
Congresswoman Maxine Dexter retweeted
The documents Trump is referring to right now, and CNN has reviewed all of them, largely discuss vulnerabilities that have been known for years and/or are reflected in the 2021 US intel community assessment.
None of the declassified information supports the claim that any previous election results — including the 2020 presidential contest that Trump lost — were manipulated by foreign interference or fraud in a way that would’ve changed the outcome.

What kind of AG would Todd Blanche be? Here’s a clue: he created Trump’s $1.8 billion political slush fund to allow Trump to pay off his pardoned street-fighting MAGA foot soldiers. He threw in a “family plan” total self-pardon for Trump, his sons and relatives and businesses against any and all criminal, civil and tax investigations and prosecutions. He should just continue to work as Trump’s lawyer.
Congresswoman Maxine Dexter retweeted
Todd Blanche is still blocking the release of the Epstein files and has put survivors through hell.
Now he's coming to Congress to make a case for why he thinks he deserves to be the Attorney General.
He is unfit and it's past time he tells America the truth.

ICE agents have killed another person in cold blood.
I am heartbroken for the victim’s family and the Biddeford community. This didn’t need to happen.
But this is exactly what the GOP is spending $70 billion on: cruelty and death with zero accountability.
Enough is enough. @SecMullinDHS must answer for this tragedy. Now.
Congresswoman Maxine Dexter retweeted
Trump’s terror regime just took a second life this month.
A month ago, Republicans gave ICE $70 billion more so they could keep killing and terrorizing our communities.
We must not accept this as normal.

ICE shot and killed Lorenzo Araujo yesterday.
ICE says he drove his car at them. But that's what ICE said about Renee Good, which was a lie. That's what they said after killling Ruben Ray Martinez, and that was a lie.
We need an independent investigation and accountability.
He Lived Here for 35 Years. Put Three Kids in College. ICE Killed Him.
A tough read from @Carrasquillo
on Lorenzo Araujo

After a months-long occupation, Minnesota is still recovering from a retribution campaign waged by the federal government.
Now, Minnesota stands with Houston in demanding accountability for the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This bloodshed cannot be normalized.

Republicans would rather make it harder to vote than easier to afford a home.
When people show you who they are, believe them.

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, a prominent Palestinian doctor, has been detained for 18 months without charge or trial. Now, he’s reportedly in critical condition after being beaten by IDF soldiers.
We must put an end to the impunity and violations of U.S. and international law. We must defend our shared humanity. We must pass my Block the Bombs Act!
Kidnapped Gaza Doctor Faces ‘Life-Threatening Condition’ in Israeli Captivity
'This is the last time you’ll see me,' Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya told his lawyer. 'They brought me here to kill me.'

Even Trump’s hand-picked Supreme Court knows that birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution.
The fight to defend immigrant rights from Trump's cruelty is not over, but today the Court upheld the law.
It's simple: if you're born in America, you're an American.

The SAVE Act isn't election security, it's voter suppression.
The in-person voter registration requirement and impossible red tape will block millions of women from voting.
Republicans are trying to jam it into the NDAA. We're a no.
BREAKING: House Republicans just advanced their voter suppression bill in the Rules Committee.
If the Rule passes tomorrow, the SAVE Act will automatically be added to the National Defense Authorization Act when it passes.
This bill will make it harder to register to vote, especially if you’re a woman, live in a rural community, serve in the military, or are a Tribal voter.
If you’re wealthy enough to have a passport, you’re fine. But more than 21 million Americans don’t have one. Under the SAVE Act, a REAL driver’s license in many states or other common forms of ID wouldn’t be enough to register.
Don’t call this a voter ID bill. A true voter ID law could accept a REAL ID driver’s license.
This isn’t about election security. It’s about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote.
Congresswoman Maxine Dexter retweeted
Today’s Supreme Court decision in Watson v. RNC is a win for Oregon voters. The ruling today means that legally cast ballots that arrive within 7 days of the election will still be counted and those voices will still be heard.

The Pentagon’s own initial findings conclude that the U.S. bombed the Shajarah Tayyebeh Elementary School – so I’m glad the House Armed Services Committee already passed my provision to publish an unclassified version of the investigation so we don’t have a full-blown cover-up.
