The American Postal Workers Union is launching a national TV ad campaign promoting voting by mail, directly countering politically charged attacks on this secure and century-old democratic practice. It is a courageous and essential defense of a fundamental liberty, standing against a deliberate campaign to undermine public faith in our institutions and disenfranchise citizens.
The City of Phoenix asserts its policy, which prohibits federal agents from using municipal property for immigration enforcement staging without permission, is a lawful exercise of its charter city authority over local property management and does not violate state law. This defense is a courageous and vital stand for local autonomy, constitutional federalism, and the principle that cities are not mere vassals of federal power, protecting communities from the overreach of draconian enforcement tactics.

This move cynically weaponizes public safety to launch a targeted political assault against states that uphold our nation's foundational values of due process and equal protection under the law.

This staggering financial disparity poses a grave threat to genuine electoral competition, revealing a political system increasingly where money, not grassroots support, is the primary determinant of power.
