Postmark dates will no longer reflect reality—potentially causing chaos with tax filing, voting, bill paying & more. USPS must urgently restore timely postmarks that show the actual date mail was sent.

A new U.S. Postal Service rule for how your mail is handled could affect your ballot, taxes and more. The rule, which went into effect on Christmas Eve, redefines the meaning of a postmark, the date mark printed on most mailed items. In the past, the postmark generally meant the date the USPS received the item. Now, it will mean the date that the USPS processes the item. For mail senders, there are ways to ensure your ballot, tax documents and more comply with deadlines. Tim McPhillips has more.

USPS JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT ON MAIL-IN VOTING, which comes straight from Trump's March executive order to secure elections. States must hand over their full mail-in & absentee voter lists, plus every ballot's personalized barcode, or risk the USPS STOPPING delivery entirely.

Trump's Executive Order on USPS & Mail-In Ballots could finally end rigged elections in California & beyond, regulating mail-in voting at the federal level. The EO puts states on the hook to accompany a list of the eligible voters that are going to vote federally and who they're going to provide mail-in ballots to and also adds a unique intelligent mail barcode for tracking. Trump's March 31, 2026 EO directs the Postmaster General to start proposed rulemaking within 60 days to create uniform national standards for mail-in and absentee ballots. Ballot envelope must be marked "Official Election Mail" with USPS-approved logo/markings. Must be automation-compatible with a unique Intelligent Mail barcode for tracking. Must pass USPS envelope design review for compliance. States must notify USPS at least 90 days before a federal election if they plan to use mail-in/absentee ballots via USPS. States must submit a list of eligible voters at least 60 days before the election. USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots to anyone not on a State-specific list. USPS must create and maintain a "Mail-In and Absentee Participation List" for each state. Providing states with lists of enrolled individuals with unique barcode identifiers. All processes must comply with the Privacy Act. Final rule must be issued no later than 120 days from the EO date. This is a HUGE win for election integrity.

I'll be voting against the welfare reform bill on Tuesday. We don’t have a sufficient impact assessment. We haven’t properly consulted disabled people. These proposals don’t reflect Labour values. The PM must show strength by pausing the bill. Reform must be done with dignity.

Islamic leader in the UK says that when Muslims become the majority, they will force non-Muslims to pay jizya, a tax that all non-Muslims must pay or be killed. And with that money, they will finance more Islamic causes. They are no longer hiding!

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just revealed that Vladimir Putin told him our mail-in voting is causing our elections to become RIGGED - and Trump is pushing to ban it nationwide. "We have to do it." "[Putin] said 'your election was rigged because you have mail-in voting.' He said 'mail-in voting, every election, no country has mail-in voting. It is impossible to have mail-in voting and have honest elections.'" "He said, 'You lost [2020] because of mail-in voting. It was a rigged election.'" "It goes through the postman, goes through somebody else, somebody else, somebody else. When you go to a well-run voting booth, you go in, you have to hand a card, a picture with this, that - you don't have everything perfect, you get sent back, you go get it. It is very hard to do something fraudulent with a vote. But with mail-in voting, they give you boxes of stuff." "You can't have a great democracy, republic...with mail-in voting."

UPDATE: Kenya's Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 The National Treasury says: · We should expect to see a Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 tabled in the National Assembly this month (February 2026) · The Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 will propose to have 0.0% PAYE rate at Kes 30,000 · The next Kes 20,000 will be taxed at a rate of 25.0% Welcome proposals, we wait to see the Bill itself for certainly. That said, some questions: · Should we take it as a given that the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 will be repealing the Kes 2,400 personal relief now that the base PAYE rate is being set at 0.0%? · Why have the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026 in February & then have Finance Bill 2026 in April? · Coming in such quick succession, don't we risk legislative fatigue & poor public participation on Finance Bill 2026? · We have some good lessons around this from the quick succession that characterised the Tax Laws (Amendment) Act 2024, the Tax Procedures (Amendment) Act 2024 & Finance Bill 2025 · What will be the effective date of the measures proposed in the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2026? Depending on the choice effective date, don't we risk complicating income tax return filing for the period given that we will be straddling two PAYE regimes? Already, filing has been reasonably complicated by Income & Expenses Validation

Mail is federally protected. You can't just have your kids in the back of a mail truck while you deliver the mail. Per grok: Federal Mail Protection Laws:Under 18 U.S.C. § 1708, mail in USPS custody is federally protected, and unauthorized access to mail is a crime. Allowing children (who are not USPS employees) in the back of a mail truck with mail could be considered unauthorized access or tampering, even if unintentional, as they could potentially handle or disrupt protected mail.
