This is a huge deal.
As I’ve written in this space, GOP—which is a failed criminal mafia—has tried everything short of setting D.C. on fire to stop ballots from counting. Today we have a late-breaking minute order from Judge Emmet Sullivan DEMANDING under penalty of perury that DeJoy’s USPS sweep facilities and make sure all outstanding ballots are delivered.
"Roughly 300,000 ballots that received a scan indicating they were entered into the mail processing system showed no corresponding destination that would confirm their delivery"
300K seems like a lothttps://t.co/rtOrVAiocA

Tangerine Nixon and his helpers, including Lou DeJoy, have not taken kindly to court orders in the past… just in case y’all needed a reminder.
Here’s a screengrab of Judge Sullivan’s order:
I’ll stay on this story because it has national implications—and could determine whether or not we’re able to save our democracy from grifting Russian assets. Watch this space. 📪
UPDATE (5:30 p): Louis DeJoy is reportedly in contempt of court since he didn’t meet Judge Sullivan’s order.
BREAKING: USPS under DeJoy reported now in contempt of Judge Sullivan's ruling, risking contempt citation; 300,000 ballots remain without a delivery scan https://t.co/oXKn1XbQMn

UPDATE 2 (4 Nov 2020): Brooklyn Mob Lou DeJoy decided “meh, no thanks” to a court order and will have to explain himself today. Oh and by the by it continues to disgust me that DOJ is representing USPS when it has ITS OWN DAMN TEAM OF LAWYERS.
The USPS has turned down a federal judge's order to sweep mail processing facilities serving 15 states, saying it would stick to its own inspection schedule.
The order came after the agency disclosed that more than 300,000 ballots could not be traced. https://t.co/piATxquT5l

As for-profit media continues to fail us, it’s more important than ever to find reliable sources. Authentic storytelling exists—you just have to look for it. On this blog you’ll get ideas, not ideology. Sass with class. Reporting with rapport. Evidence with a touch of evil. You get the idea.
Support independent authors, writers, artists, journalists and professionals. Buy a book, leave a review, start a discussion. Show solidarity so that we can achieve greater balance and, in the end, learn more.
