The U.S. Postal Service has adopted a new rule that could create doubt about whether some ballots mailed by voters by Election Day will receive postmarks in time to be counted. A USPS rule that took effect on Dec. 24 says mail might not receive a postmark on the same day the agency takes possession of it. The postal service says it isn't changing its existing postmark practices and is merely clarifying its policy, but some election officials have looked to postmarks as a guarantee that mail ballots were cast before polls closed. The new rule holds implications for 14 states and Washington, D.C., that count ballots arriving after Election Day if they are postmarked on or before that day " commonly called a "ballot grace period." In these states, ballots placed in the mail by voters before the deadline may not be counted if the postal service applies a postmark after Election Day.
It's been a tough year for farmers. Between falling prices for commodity crops like corn and soybeans, rising input costs for supplies like fertilizer and seeds, the Trump tariffs and the dismantling of USAID, many in agriculture won't be profitable this year. The enhanced subsidies that many Americans, including farmers, rely on to purchase health insurance are set to expire at the end of this month. James Davis, 55, who grows cotton, soybeans and corn in north Louisiana, said he doesn't know how he and his wife will afford coverage next year, when their insurance premium will quadruple, jumping to about $2,700 a month. "You can't afford it. Bottom line, there's nothing to discuss. You can't afford it without the subsidies," Davis said.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) is accusing President Donald Trump of blocking a non-controversial water project affecting her district after the lawmaker challenged Trump to force the release of the Epstein files in November. " ... Trump decided to veto ... a bipartisan bill that passed both the House and Senate unanimously. Why? Because nothing says America First' like denying clean drinking water to 50,000 people in Southeast Colorado, many of whom enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections," Boebert said, according to Colorado news reporter Kyle Clark. " ... I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics." "I thought the [Trump] campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape," Boebert added.
