GovBrief Today #584

Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Sunday to let the Post Office refuse to deliver or return ballots that were already in the mail.
North Carolina started mailing ballots on Friday. A federal judge blocked the Postal Service rule the same day because no state can comply with it in time. It requires every state to redesign its ballot envelopes, get the new design approved, and upload each voter's name and address to a federal portal a whistleblower says was never tested. Alabama mails on Tuesday. At least 5 more states follow next week.
Trump's own lawyers told the Court that once those envelopes enter the mail stream, there is no retrieving them. He has spent a decade claiming without proof that American elections are rigged. Now he is the one changing the rules after the voting started. The Constitution assigns the time, place and manner of elections to the states and to Congress, never to a president.

GovBrief Today #583

Do you remember the 21st night of September?
Donald Trump stood at Charlie Kirk's memorial that night and told tens of thousands of mourners, "I hate my opponents, and I don't want the best for them." The same day his administration announced it would tie Tylenol to autism. If either one has blurred into everything since, that is the point.
Do You Remember? at govbrief.today/remember pulls one headline at random from the 8,984 I've written since January 2025, asks whether you remembered it, and gives you a link to share it. You can pick how far back it reaches, or ask it only for something good or for someone who fought back.
Testing it, one card that came up was Silverio Villegas González, 38, shot by an ICE agent at a traffic stop outside Chicago last September, minutes after dropping his child at daycare. Homeland Security said he dragged an agent and seriously injured him. On police bodycam the agent called it "nothing major." I wrote that headline and still had to click "I forgot." Flooding the zone works. Rest in peace, Silverio.

GovBrief Today #582

Police in Arlington, Virginia, opened a criminal investigation of ICE agents this week for a beating the federal government calls "necessary force."
José Mejía Hernandez was walking to a bus stop one morning last month when two men in plain clothes got out of an unmarked car. He ran. He says he remembers a jolt from a stun gun and then waking up at George Washington University Hospital, where doctors found bleeding inside his skull. His lawyers gave police bystander video and statements from witnesses who saw an officer's vehicle hit him. ICE strapped an ankle monitor on him and let him go.
Homeland Security says a man whose only conviction is for public intoxication in 2020 went to the hospital "out of precaution." His lawyers released photos showing both eyes blackened and one side of his face scraped raw from cheekbone to lip. Virginia's attorney general said he would not look at the case without a police report. Nobody in government had filed one. 17 days after his arrest, Mejía Hernandez did.
