CNN —
A federal judge in Washington, DC, ruled Thursday that changes Postmaster General Louis DeJoy made to the US Postal Service before the 2020 election hurt mail delivery, and has put in place orders to prevent DeJoy from doing the same again.
Judge Emmet Sullivan said the USPS couldn’t bar postal workers from making late or extra delivery trips without permission from the Postal Regulatory Commission, an independent federal agency.
“Although the simultaneous implementation of multiple policy changes in June and July 2020 contributed to the decline in mail service and the overall confusion by postal workers, the record evidence demonstrates that changes to and impacts on the USPS transportation schedule regarding late and extra trips were the primary factor in affecting service on a nationwide or substantially nationwide basis,” Sullivan wrote in a 65-page opinion Thursday.

FIRST PROUD BOY Member Pleads GUILTY To Seditious Conspiracy Charges For Role In 1/6 Capitol Attack
Justice Dept; "On the evening of Jan. 6, 2021, Bertino messaged Tarrio and celebrated the achievement, saying, among other things, “You know we made this happen,” and “1776 motherf****r.”
First Proud Boy to do so:
Reuters: NORTH CAROLINA MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY CHARGES FOR ROLE IN JAN. 6 U.S. CAPITOL ATTACK
Jeremy Bertino, a top lieutenant to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, is set to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy on Thursday, he told a federal judge in court.
Bertino, 43, will also plead guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He is the first member of the Proud Boys to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy – a major boost to the historic prosecution of the far right organization.
Bertino was listed in previous indictments as “PERSON-1,” but has not publicly faced charges. He is not alleged to have been in Washington, DC on January 6. Prosecutors have previously outlined his involvement in Proud Boys leadership and extensive planning meetings and chats.

Judicial U-Turn will require felon AG Paxton to testify after all.
Judge reverses course and orders Texas attorney general to testify in abortion lawsuitA federal judge who quashed subpoenas for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to testify in an abortion rights lawsuit is now reversing course and ordering the state’s top law enforcement official to provide testimony.
Paxton made headlines last week when he allegedly fled his home while a process server attempted to serve subpoenas requiring Paxton to testify at a federal hearing in Austin.
US District Judge Robert Pitman had quickly quashed the subpoenas after Paxton argued they had been served at the last minute, and that as a high-ranking government official, Paxton could not be compelled to testify in a hearing, as it would create undue burden.

Rs can't blame this on Christian Walker. They knew exactly who they were supporting.
Don't let them bury this. Mitch McConnell cynically decided Herschel Walker would be a convenient vessel, even though it had been clearly established by then that he was thoroughly unfit.
People need to stop saying that Mitch McConnell is heroically resisting Trump and Trumpism. That's just not true: McConnell has cynically sought to harness the very worst Trumpian pathologies toward his own instrumental ends, again and again.
Indeed. There is one reason he has not responded to Trump’s threat to him and racist attack on his wife: To preserve the chance of a Republican majority in the Senate. He would throw his own wife under the bus for that.
The big picture: While the last 24 hours have been brutal for Walker — with some conservatives questioning whether this will be the end of his campaign — it's still unclear how much of an impact the latest allegations will have at the ballot box.
Leading Republicans, from the Senate GOP campaign chief to abortion leaders and former President Trump, rallied behind Walker on Tuesday after a detailed Daily Beast report alleged Walker paid for a then-girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009 — a contention Walker vehemently denied.
They promised to keep cash flowing to his campaign — hoping to soften the panic that spread among conservatives Monday night.
