The Postal Service says it's facing a "severe financial crisis." Postmaster General David Steiner testified before a House subcommittee this week and said that the USPS was struggling and could “be out of cash in less than 12 months” unless something changes. Today, we check the finances of the postal service. And later, war in the Middle East is driving up fertilizer and diesel costs, worrying U.S. farmers during planting season.

She had a driver and a hostage - YES, A HOSTAGE - as witnesses. She received a "whole life sentence" for her crimes, being only the fifth woman in the history of the country to receive such a punishment. So WHAT ON EARTH drove her to commit these crimes?

The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of Americans losing their rights to sue the U.S Postal Service, even if employess intentionally refuse to deliver your mail. As refugee admissions remain largely shut down, and Trump's so-called immigration crackdown is in effect, Trump and his racist administration are moving to dramatically expand entry for one specific group........white South Africans. More on that ahead. More than 70 years after her cells were taken without consent, the fight for justice continues for Henrietta Lacks.

This episode introduces listeners to the rich history of ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History), shedding light on its founding vision and the pivotal role it played in the establishment of Black History Month in 1976 a time when the cultural contributions of African Americans were often overlooked. As we delve into this important retrospective, we also explore the significance of the new Forever Stamps that are now available at USPS, created by Derry Noyes which honor the legacy of remarkable figures in African American history. These stamps celebrate the achievements of individuals such as Harriet Powers, a renowned quilt maker whose work reflects the African American experience; Phyllis Wheatley, the first published African American female poet, whose literary contributions broke barriers in her time; and Muhammad Ali, famously known as "The Greatest," whose influence extended beyond the boxing ring to impact social justice and equality. This rich blend of historical insight and contemporary recognition serves to inspire listeners and foster a deeper appreciation for the contributions of African Americans to the nation's narrative. ____ Listeners can find detailed information at the links below, which include posts on my blogs about Black History Month.

OA1239 - Did the Supreme Court just hand Donald Trump the biggest L in US presidential history? We go beyond the headlines to break down the first decision on the merits of any of the second Trump term's policies. What is the deal with the “major questions doctrine” and why can't the conservative justices agree about what it is and how to use it? Why did Neil Gorsuch choose this case to drop a lengthy diss track with bars about every one of his colleagues? And is there anything Clarence Thomas wouldn't let a Republican president do? We then review a lesser-noticed SCOTUS decision from this week on whether you can sue USPS for intentionally stealing your mail for openly racist reasons (the answer may surprise you!).

Welcome to The Morning Minute, your definitive source for global supply chain market intelligence. Today we break down the massive news from UPS as the company begins offering delivery drivers $150,000 voluntary buyout packages to shrink its network and reduce headcount. We also look at major structural changes in logistics software, where cargo management maker WiseTech Global is cutting a third of its workforce in a massive artificial intelligence pivot. This two-year restructuring plan will eliminate up to 2,000 jobs as the company integrates new technologies into its customer platforms and internal operations. Finally, we cover a controversial 5-4 Supreme Court ruling that protects the United States Postal Service from being sued over intentionally misdelivered mail. The decision reinforces a postal exception in the Federal Tort Claims Act shielding the agency from liability, despite dissenting arguments that it provides much greater protection than originally intended.

The Postal Service typically sees its best financial results in the first quarter of each fiscal year. That's because of the year-end holiday season and sometimes a surge in political mail. But USPS is starting this fiscal year with a $1.3 billion net loss. It posted a rare net profit for the same period last year. The American Postal Workers Union says USPS should focus on affordable services and improved service to win back customers. Federal News Network's Jory Heckman spoke with APWU President Jonathan Smith.

Is the U.S. Postal Service being set up to fail? In this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we sit down with Jonathan Smith, the new President of the American Postal Workers Union (APWU). Smith, a second-generation postal worker who rose through the ranks from a New Jersey bulk mail center, pulls back the curtain on the "pseudo-privatization" strategies threatening one of America's most trusted public institutions. We dive deep into: The Privatization Playbook: How profitable mail operations are being siphoned off to private interests, leaving the public with the bill. The Staffing Crisis: Why those long lines at your local post office aren't an accident—they are a service issue rooted in understaffing. Vote-by-Mail Under Fire: Why protecting the mail-in ballot is a nonpartisan, constitutional necessity for rural communities, veterans, and seniors. Labor's Legacy: A look back at the 1970 Postal Strike and why a new generation of workers must organize to protect middle-class, blue-collar pathways. The Postal Service is more than just a delivery business; it's a public obligation. Join us as President Smith outlines the APWU's mission to ensure the USPS remains a prompt, efficient and universal service for every American.
Gary & Shannon pull back the curtain on a pre-recorded Weekend Fix, kicking off with Gary's Ring camera distraction and a group text about neighborhood mailbox break-ins that leads to the question: what are you even stealing from USPS in 2026? Then, the big news: KFI is shaking up the schedule with a new 12p-3p show, Monks & Merrill. Shannon admits she doesn't know Merrill well, but vouches for the incredible Michael Monks, and they break down what it takes to go from reporter mode to full-on host mode (spoiler: it's exhausting). The schedule shift also means some beloved segments are on the chopping block. Whatcha Watchin' Wednesday, Strange Science, Motivational Monday... all under review.

A former Trump official/security expert who investigated USPS contractor Jesse Morgan's story about trucking hundreds of thousands of sealed mail-in ballots from NY to PA right before the 2020 election calls out former Attorney General Bill Barr for stopping his investigation. But it gets darker than that. Author and former White House stenographer Mike McCormick joins us live to dicuss a big name in the Epstein files: former White House lawyer Kathy Ruemmler.

Bob also talks about some issues discussed at the February 5, 2026, USPS Board of Governors meeting.
Episode 78: In this episode, Timalyn covers what an IRS Notice CP2000 is and how taxpayers should respond to it. What is a CP2000?Timalyn begins by letting listeners know what a CP2000 is not. It is not a bill. This notice is a proposal for changes due to the underreporting of income. This notice lets taxpayers know that discrepancies were found between what they reported on their taxes and what third parties reported. This could be income that was underreported or deductions and credits that were inflated.If the proposed changes result in an increase in tax of 20% or more the taxpayer will also be assessed a 20% accuracy related penalty. Timalyn discussed this penalty in Episode 28, IRC 662 Accuracy-Related Penalty.What should I do if I get a CP2000?If you receive a CP2000 don't panic. Pull out the tax return in question on the notice and compare the changes proposed on the notice to what is on your return. Are you missing anything?If you are, you can let the IRS know that you agree with the changes by checking the box on the notice and signing. Then you'll send it back by the date they have included. Or, you could do nothing and they will proceed with the changes. Do you disagree? You have the right to disagree and support your position. In this case, you'll check the disagree box and explain why in the space provided. You'll also need to provide them with supporting documentation for your position. Do not send them original documentation. It is very important that you get this documentation, as well as your answer, back to the IRS by the deadline. If you do not use the upload tool, Timalyn recommends sending it Certified Mail, so you have your green receipt and tracking number. Keep the new USPS Postmark Rule in mind.What is the new USPS Postmark Rule?Effective December 24th, 2025, the USPS is no longer postmarking mail the day it reaches the post office. Instead, the new postmark date will reflect when it is first processed at a regional center. This could be a day or two later. Which could impact the deadline not only for those paying bills or voting by mail, but also for taxpayers who still use the mail system to file and pay their Federal, state, and local taxes.

Hosts Regan Brown and Bill Mann of GB Group Construction & Painting talk with Becky Jolly Senior Community Manager at Professional Association Services about a new USPS policy affecting mail drop timing. They explain how it impacts HOA deadlines, why postmarks no longer guarantee proof of mailing, and what boards should do to stay compliant—including key tips and a breakdown of California's SB 811.The Postal Service is adding section 608.11, “Postmarks and Postal Possession,” to the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM). This new section defines postmarks, identifies the types of Postal Service markings that qualify as postmarks, and describes the circumstances under which those markings are applied. It also advises customers of how to obtain evidence of the date on which the Postal Service accepts possession of their mailings. This new language in the DMM does not change any existing postal operations or postmarking practices, but is instead intended to improve public understanding of postmarks and their relationship to the date of mailing.https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/11/24/2025-20740/postmarks-and-postal-possession SB 811 CAThe proposed change clarifies existing laws concerning the delivery of documents in common interest developments under the Davis-Stirling Common Interest Development Act. It specifically states that delivery by mail is considered complete upon deposit into the United States mail and delivery by electronic means is complete at the time of transmission. This amendment is a minor, no substantive modification to existing document delivery processes. No fiscal impacts or state-mandated local programs are associated with this change.https://track.govhawk.com/public/bills/2150171

New research from Brookings shows that rural counties with stronger access to post offices have more small‑business activity, even when broadband and other factors are the same. That suggests the postal network is doing far more economic heavy lifting than policymakers assume.

Prediction markets, where people can bet on outcomes of real-world events, often forecast better than traditional polls. But the evolving markets also raise concerns about cheating and corrosion of trust. Also: today's stories, including why Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae and her party are expected to sweep in Japan's upcoming election, what one Monitor correspondent recalls from past Winter Olympics coverage, and why USPS chose poet Phillis Wheatley for the latest stamp in its Black Heritage series.

Host: Cindy AllenGuests: Heather Litman & Sandra Langford-Coty Show: Simply Trade – Cindy's Version Published: February 6, 2026 Length: ~13 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Long Live: Celebrating Trade Wins with Your Industry Crew Cindy Allen, CEO of TradeForce Multiplier, delivers this week's rapid-fire trade update through the lens of Taylor Swift's “Long Live”—a song about shared victories and the bonds that make them possible. From congressional pushback on exclusions to critical minerals zones and a surprising U.S.-China thaw, Cindy breaks down what happened and what's next. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Express Carrier Bill faces pushback Peter Navarro publicly opposes the bill for simplified clearance parity with USPS, calling de minimis a zombie issue that “won't die.” Congress demands exclusion transparency Senator Wyden's letter calls the Section 232 exclusion process secretive and confusing—good news that Congress may step in for importers/exporters. USMCA hearing next week Senate Finance Committee will hear from pro-trade voices and domestic industry reps—watch for outcomes that could impact the agreement. EU moves fast on U.S. trade deal EU Parliament takes up negotiations internally to beat deadlines and avoid tariff retaliation seen with other countries. HTS updates published International Trade Commission released food/pharma changes effective February 1—check if you're impacted via the International Trade Administration. Critical minerals preferential zone Administration (led by VP JD Vance) exploring enforceable price floors at every production stage—no details yet. India IEPA tariff reductions pending Rumored drop from 50% total to 18%, but no Federal Register notice or CSMS message yet—stay tuned for implementation guidance. U.S.-China relations thaw? Administration calls recent talks “extremely good,” signaling stability for China importers after a year of mixed signals. Why “Long Live”? Cindy ties the week's developments to “Long Live,” focusing on celebrating successes with friends—especially critical now when industry networks help navigate chaos. Conferences and associations aren't just for learning; they're where you build the relationships that get you through volatile times. Key Takeaways: Momentum is building for more congressional oversight on exclusion processes—positive for transparency. Check HTS food/pharma updates immediately if affected; they're already live. Critical minerals zone and India tariff details will drop soon—track Federal Register and CSMS closely. U.S.-China tone shift could mean stability, but verify with primary sources before adjusting strategy. Build your trade network now—when rules change monthly, friends in the industry are your real compliance superpower.

//The Wire//2300Z January 22, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: ICE OPERATIONS CONTINUE IN MAINE. THREE ARRESTS MADE IN MINNEAPOLIS REGARDING CITIES CHURCH INCIDENT. SEVERE WEATHER SYSTEM EXPECTED TO SWEEP THROUGH AMERICAN SOUTHEAST THIS WEEKEND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Maine: DHS surge operations continue, with arrests being noted in Portland and Lewiston. This campaign has been dubbed "Operation Catch-Of-The-Day", and seeks to target known violent criminals throughout the state.Analyst Comment: So far, resistance to ICE is minimal, with most of the efforts to harass ICE not taking form as they have in Minneapolis. None of the madness of Minneapolis has carried over to Maine as of yet, and the arrest of extremely violent criminals is going smoothly so far. However, this should be expected to increase over time as various activist groups transition into the active resistance phases throughout the area.Minneapolis: Overnight, several bomb threats were made at various locations around the city. Locals report that emails alleging the emplacement of pipe bombs were sent to several hotels, as well as the Federal Courthouse downtown. After some time, all threats were confirmed to be unfounded.Following up on the raid at Cities Church which took place four days ago, three arrests have been made in conjunction with the investigation. William Kelly, Nekima Levy Armstrong, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen have been arrested for violations of the FACE Act.Analyst Comment: Considering that these are the first arrests made during this high-profile incident, it's likely that these arrests will be used to fuel more demonstrations. Right now, the other agitators have not been arrested, so the Key Leadership that helped plan the initial raid is still free to plan other raids this Sunday.Southeastern USA: A severe winter weather system is forecasted to arrive this weekend, bringing unseasonably heavy ice and snowfall for much of the American southeast. Upwards of 12 inches of snow and potentially several inches of ice are called for as the weather system descends on the region.Analyst Comment: This much snow and ice in a region that typically doesn't get much at all, has a tendency to break things. If these forecasts are accurate, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime winter weather event that has the potential to severely impact public infrastructure in many areas.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the past few days, a new demographic of agitator has been noted interfering with ICE operations...postal workers. Around the nation, several postal workers have been observed harassing ICE agents while on the job this week, in official USPS vehicles while actively working a shift. In once case, a USPS worker recording ICE agents shouted at them that he had immunity from arrest, because he was a federal employee. This is obviously not true; being a mailman does not grant any sort of immunity from arrest at all, however this is clearly what many mail carriers who deliver our ballots seem to think.In Minneapolis specifically, last month the Democratic Socialists of America (a far-left political militant organization) held self-described Communist Revolutionary protests for federal postal workers, on federal property. Postal workers at the Powderhorn and Lake Street Post Offices were upset that federal agents had used their parking lots to stage for immigration enforcement operations. As a result the DSA helped them to organize protests at their own federal facilities, which are becoming increasingly more active strongholds.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//
