A Bluesky post

USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

For anything important you should already be paying to have a record of when you mailed it and tracking. Even if the post mark is later, the receipt of when you handed responsibility to USPS will be helpful for proving you did what you were expected and can't control the mail's services

I shouldn't have to mail everything certified letter.

Most things don't really matter and don't need to be but if you had something you needed to get somewhere and prove you sent it by a deadline then sending certified has always been recommended

Good thing Biden fixed the post office.

When he was president at r/politics I got in a few arguments when I said Biden could just fire DeJoy. I got lectured that there was some kind of board involved. So then I said Biden could just pack the board and then they could fire DeJoy. But then I was told that wasn't possible. So I really mad and even though I knew it was 100% a waste of time - I googled and I found it was possible. But then my interlocutors said packing the board was surely more complicated then the article suggested. First of all..

Okay, okay. Smol Bean Biden can't do anything because... I dunno... Norms? At that point I had to give up. This year I got mad all over again this year when Trump started to do whatever he wanted. For example - created his Gestapo with a budget larger than the military of most countries and he created concentration camps in the US and abroad.

Related to this, Trump's recent signing of an EO to reschedule Marijuana should really be shoved in those fucking nerds' faces as one of the many examples of "oh turns out this good thing was super fucking easy for the president to do and Biden could have chosen to do it at any time but didn't."

What I love about GOP SCOTUS's 2024 immunity ruling is that it was 100% for Trump. First - it made his three major legal problems disappear. Second - they hoped he'd use the ruling - cough - liberally if he won in 2024. Third - the GOP justices acted as if Biden didn't even exist. They knew that Joe "Norms Respecter" Biden wouldn't use any of brand-new powers they created for the president that they pulled right out of their ass. Biden could have issued dozens of EOs and forced them to rule against him simply because he was a democrat. But they knew he wouldn't do a fucking thing and they were right on the money.

I imagine this has more to do with further limiting mail-in ballots.
