Leftist Defends Mass Mail In Ballots While Admitting The USPS Sucks
August 30, 2026
CNN legal so-called analyst Norm Eisen used an appearance on the network to slam President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting mail-in ballots while casting doubt on the U.S. Postal Service’s capacity to enforce it.
“No mail-in voting is currently being affected by this rule; it’s grossly unconstitutional, and we and others have gone to court to stop it—we will stop it—and voters should know that this idea that the Postal Service is going to screen every mail-in voter and mail-in ballot in the country is not going to happen,” Eisen said, according to a clips of the interview.
In the same discussion, Eisen quipped that “they can’t even deliver my utility bill on time” and argued that USPS therefore cannot “turn into a kind of super registrar for every voter in the land,” using his own mail delays to contradict his defense of mail in ballot voting to begin with.
His comments came after the Supreme Court, in a 6–3 unsigned order, allowed Trump to move forward with key portions of the March executive order that directs the Postal Service and the Department of Homeland Security to build voter-eligibility lists and limit mail-ballot delivery, while explicitly declining to decide the order’s legality leaving it open for further litigation amongst the states across the country.
The justices said the states that sued lacked standing because any harms were still “conjectural or hypothetical,” lifting a preliminary injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Massachusetts that had blocked the USPS provisions in 23 states and Washington, D.C.
Even after the Supreme Court’s intervention, Talwani and other lower-court judges have questioned the constitutionality of using USPS to “police” mail voting, with earlier rulings emphasizing that election rules belong to state legislatures and Congress.
Following publication of the Postal Service’s final rule requiring states to upload lists of mail-ballot recipients and use uniquely barcoded envelopes, Talwani lifted her own nationwide injunction in light of the Supreme Court decision, clearing the way for the administration to implement the rule while stressing that challengers could still seek new blocks.
Eisen and allied groups including Democracy Defenders Fund and the Campaign Legal Center quickly filed new lawsuits to stop the USPS rule, and he told followers on X and Bluesky that “the president has NO authority to make lists of voters & tell the Postal Service who gets a ballot,” urging supporters not to “overreact” to what he cast as a procedural Supreme Court ruling.
Multiple Democrat governors have publicly vowed to oppose Trump’s mail‑in ballot order and the related USPS rule, mostly through new lawsuits and formal letters strategically keeping the litigation alive to delay it before the upcoming midterms.

REPORT: Antifa Networks Panicked After Trump Admin Designates Affiliated Group as Terrorists
August 30, 2026
Anarchist demonstrators on a May Day protest hold Antifa and Anarcho-synficalism flags.
The Trump State Department recently designated the group known as the ‘Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective)’ as a terrorist group.
While they operate out of Italy, the Autistici/Inventati (A/I Collective) provides technical support for Antifa in the United States. Now that they have been targeted, panic is beginning to surge among various Antifa groups.
Apparently, some members of Antifa were surprised that the Trump administration made this move.
While many on the online left have feigned indignation, for their part, the A/I Collective has long known that it was a legitimate target of law enforcement action. Following a series of Italian law enforcement actions in the early 2000s, the collective initiated what they called Plan R*, intended as a technical solution of decentralized servers meant to prevent physical intrusion and the collective’s clients from losing access in the event of law enforcement action. Following Plan R*, the collective published what it calls the “Orange Book,” a manual to allow individuals or groups to replicate their specific network methods.
This is in keeping with Anarchist/Autonomous methodology, which seeks to widely and deniably distribute responsibility. One can think of it as a kind of digital black bloc, where the more people participating and utilizing the techniques, the harder it is for law enforcement to address. While one site or group can be taken down, the material is quickly redistributed to other servers and other groups…
Indeed, U.S. persons are prohibited from either receiving or providing any services to or from A/I Collective at all. That means hundreds of violent far-left actors in the United States may be scrambling to find new digital homes, or else face potential criminal investigation and liability.
There seems to be some surprise within the Antifa/Anarchist networks that the Trump administration has been successful in landing a genuine blow. After decades of hiding behind the legal fiction that “Antifa doesn’t exist,” the idea that the government might successfully target not just a handful of individual anarchists but elements of the network apparatus upon which they rely seems to have come as something of a shock.
“WTF” commented one account, apparently dumbfounded.

“The Islamic Takeover of Manhattan” – Chilling Video by Nate Friedman
August 30, 2026
Islam is taking over Manhattan.
Nate Friedman shares a chilling video showing the Islamic takeover of Manhattan. There is a planned effort to destroy America from within. Turning the country into an Islamic state is part of the plan.
Lara Logan writes:
This is chilling. Well done to Nate Friedman – he took people right onto the streets in this part of NY & allowed them to experience it with him Good for him for asking relevant questions & listening to the answers. Should be the most basic standard of all journalism but sadly today we are surrounded by cowards & political operatives who dominate much of the media.
Here are Nate Friedman’s comments:
I am releasing my documentary on the Islamic takeover of Manhattan.
I speak to the Islamic Council of America’s leadership in the lower east side and they say if you’re a good human being you should have no issue waking up to the call to prayer in NYC.
I uncover hundreds of thousands of dollars of foreign money from Morocco and other muslim countries funneled into this Lower East Side mosque just by speaking to people there.
You’ll see close to 500 bikes outside this mosque since most of the African delivery drivers in Manhattan are Muslim. They’re giving illegal haircuts out on the street right outside a playground, making it virtually unusable for NYC families.
A man from Pakistan running a halal shop across from the mosque tells me they voted for Mamdani only because he’s a muslim and that they “of course” want the call to prayer at 5 in the morning.
Some locals have already marked this area as a no go zone and they tell me that.
The best way to support my reporting is to subscribe on X.
If you want to know exactly what the locals think as well as hear from the migrants themselves, the 2nd half of the documentary is out on YouTube right now.
This is chilling. Well done to Nate Friedman – he took people right onto the streets in this part of NY & allowed them to experience it with him Good for him for asking relevant questions & listening to the answers.

CALIFORNIA DOUBLE STANDARD: Democrats Advance Bill Recognizing Two Muslim Holidays and Authorizing Eid Lessons in Public Schools — No Matching Provision for Christmas, Easter or Good Friday
August 30, 2026

California Democrats are advancing legislation that would formally recognize two Muslim holy days as state holidays and create special authorization for public schools to teach about their history.
Meanwhile, nearly 12 million Catholics live in California, yet the state’s education code contains no comparable holiday-specific provision inviting officials to develop model curriculum exercises addressing the religious significance of Christmas, Easter or Good Friday.
Assembly Bill 2017, introduced by San Francisco Democrat Assemblyman Matt Haney, would add Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to California’s list of official state holidays.
The legislation passed the State Assembly in May by a lopsided 64-1 vote. Republican Assemblyman Carl DeMaio was the lone “no” vote.
The official legislative record shows AB 2017 was amended in the Senate on August 27 and ordered to a third reading on August 28.
It must still pass the Senate and return to the Assembly for concurrence before it can be delivered to Newsom.
If enacted, AB 2017 would:
Designate Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as California state holidays.
Permit K-12 public schools and community colleges to close for the holidays if local governing boards and employee unions agree.
Allow state employees to use existing vacation, annual leave or compensatory time to observe the holidays.
Allow public schools to conduct exercises “exploring the history” of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Authorize the State Board of Education to develop a model curriculum guide related specifically to the two Muslim holidays.
The bill would not automatically close schools, courts, government offices or private businesses.
Earlier versions contained even more controversial language permitting schools to conduct exercises “acknowledging and celebrating the meaning and importance” of the two Islamic holidays.
After critics questioned why California public schools would be explicitly encouraged to “celebrate” religious holidays, lawmakers quietly softened the language. The latest version now describes the exercises as “exploring the history” of Eid.
But the special statutory authorization and invitation for a state-created model curriculum remain.
California Family Council Vice President Greg Burt previously challenged the original language, asking, “What happened to neutrality? It doesn’t make any sense.”
Burt noted that California school policies typically allow objective teaching about religion but prohibit schools from sponsoring religious celebrations. Many school districts have also erased the words “Christmas” and “Easter” from their calendars, replacing them with the sanitized labels “winter break” and “spring break.” Fox News previously reported on the controversy.
Christmas Day is already recognized as a state holiday, and the education code references Christmas and Easter recesses. But there is no parallel provision in Section 37220.7 authorizing special classroom exercises or a state model curriculum about the Christian meaning of Christmas, the Crucifixion on Good Friday, or the Resurrection celebrated on Easter Sunday.
According to the California Catholic Conference, nearly 12 million Catholics, approximately 30 percent of the state’s population, live in California.
Haney and the bill’s sponsors, including the California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, argue that the legislation will prevent Muslim students and employees from being penalized for observing their faith.
“No student should have to choose between celebrating one of the holiest days of their faith and showing up to school,” Haney said when announcing the legislation.
When Muslims request recognition, Sacramento Democrats draft a state holiday, authorize specialized classroom exercises and invite the State Board of Education to develop a curriculum guide.
When Christian parents ask schools to acknowledge the religious foundation of Christmas or Easter, they are frequently lectured about “separation of church and state.”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on AB 2017 in July, when the measure cleared the Assembly and began moving through the Democrat-controlled Senate.
California Democrats apparently believe religious accommodation is essential, but only when the religion being accommodated fits their political agenda.
If Sacramento lawmakers truly support religious equality, they should apply the same rules to every faith instead of constructing another politically favored carveout.
