Exclusive: In late 2024, FBI agents were looking at Sen. Susan Collins’ role in a massive illegal bribery scheme alleged by a former federal contractor. Then Trump gutted the FBI and DOJ, leaving no one to carry on the investigation – it’s dead. 🧵

BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said.
It's effectively a boycott by the fellow members — ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX:

NEW: The presidential TV pool has been suspended as networks react to the White House's ongoing ban of CNN.
That means, for now, that no major TV network will provide coverage of Trump's events, including today's appearances at the WH and his trip to the United Nations.

Crazy to think voting has already begun. National deadline to send out to overseas voters is tomorrow.
The UOCAVA ballot mailing deadline is tomorrow, but in some counties, like Pinal, UOCAVA ballots are sent out earlier to give military and overseas voters as much time as possible to receive and return them.
In fact, Over 30 Pinal voters have already returned their ballots!

📬 SCOOP: USPS chief told associates he wants to quit, sources say
Long running frustrations over USPS finances boiled over after a June Senate hearing, sources tell me.
The postmaster previously aired thoughts of quitting. Then postal industry execs took him golfing w/ Trump.

To come up with its 14,000 noncitizen voters number in PA, DHS included people even if they matched with immigrant info only on name and DOB, but didn't match on address and phone #.
DHS now asking PA for the socials/ID info for all 14,000. h/t @ByCarterWalker
When @DHSgov first told Pennsylvania about the potential noncitizen registered voters in July, it told @PAStateDept that Social Security numbers had been used in some of the matches. But the Sept. 9 email said that DHS had not used “federal enumerators” like SSN. I asked DHS

I'm saddened to hear of Paul Bender's passing. He was always my first call when I had a question about the Arizona Constitution and I enjoyed our many conversations through the years. He was a great guy and he'll be missed.
It is with great sadness I learned of the passing of my favorite law professor and mentor Paul Bender. Professor Bender’s clear-eyed analysis of the Supreme Court helped make me the lawyer I am today. He was kind and funny and I will miss him.

BREAKING Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, also blocks @USPS from using new mail ballot restrictions in the November election. He’s the second federal judge to do so.

Stripping your local newsrooms of talented and well-sourced journalists, leaving the reporters who are left to cover a zillion different beats at once, is an odd way to say you’re “investing in journalism that is differentiated, consequential and difficult to replicate.”
NEW: Huge layoffs across McClatchy newspapers today, with some newsrooms gutted by a third. An internal email from management says consumer revenue has dipped 41% and "we cannot continue investing where subscriber interest does not support the investment"
