Postmaster General David Steiner apparently needs to be reminded what’s the United States Postal Service’s most important job: Deliver the mail – Not bend the knee to Donald Trump. Trump’s PMG has finalized a rule that would allow the USPS to refuse ballot mail when states do not comply with new federal requirements. However, even after a Supreme Court decision added new chaos to the on-going litigation — including on-again off-again injunctions and restraining orders — Steiner’s USPS is blocked from moving forward with its plan to implement Trump’s voter suppression scheme — for now. Still, all of this legal uncertainty so close to the 2026 midterm election showed us exactly why we can’t depend on the courts to protect voting by mail, strengthening the need for the Board of Governors to act. Steiner has no intention of dropping this attack on vote by mail voluntarily. He's already finalized the USPS rule so it can be implemented quickly the second the courts give him the opportunity. That tells us everything we need to know. We have to force him to back down. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately: The USPS has spent generations earning public trust because its mission is simple and universal. Every address. Every ZIP code. Every mail-in ballot without exception. Steiner is putting that public trust at risk by dragging the Postal Service deeper into Trump’s election agenda. We know what could happen if nobody holds postal leadership accountable. Trump’s first Postmaster General Louis DeJoy tried to slow service, consolidate operations, and endanger vote by mail the summer before the 2020 election. But thanks to our coalition creating massive public pushback, DeJoy didn't get everything he wanted and vote by mail was protected. Now what Steiner wants to do could be so much worse. Together, we can keep Postmaster General David Steiner and Trump’s hands off our ballots. - Annie and the Save the Post Office Coalition Team.
