Democracy by Mail - CD346

from Congressional Dish · host Jennifer Briney

This episode looks at two very different questions surrounding the U.S. Postal Service: how the Trump administration tried to use it to impose new requirements on mail-in voting, and whether the Postal Service itself is financially sustainable. We examine the new election-mail rule and the court fight that stopped it for 2026, then dig into what's actually driving USPS's financial problems—and whether they can be fixed.
