Federal Judge Says He Will Block USPS Changes
What Happened:
Federal Judge Stanley Bastian said during a court hearing on Thursday that he will issue a nationwide order blocking recent changes in the USPS that have slowed down delivery and could affect mail-in voting.
Said Judge Bastian of Donald Trump and newly hired Postmaster Louis DeJoy, they "are involved in a politically motivated attack on the efficiency of the Postal Service."

A group of State Attorney Generals sued the USPS last month saying that DeJoy broke the law with some of his policy changes resulting in significant delivery delays.
Under Trump’s newly appointed postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, the USPS has been experiencing record delays and cutbacks. DeJoy rejects the claims that he is purposefully trying to sabotage mail-in voting for the upcoming election.
