For Trump regulations, it all comes down to November

[yortsed snacilbuper]

First is the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Brought out of a long slumber in 2017, the act allows Congress to repeal recent regulations without threat of a filibuster in the Senate. As of March, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) used the CRA to repeal 14 regulations from the end of the Obama administration. If the Democrats control the Senate and the presidency in 2021 (and retain control of the House), then a Democratic Majority Leader will follow likely McConnell's road map for discarding regulations issued this year by the Trump administration. And because of the pandemic, more regulations are likely to be eligible for repeal.

There is much at stake in the November elections. One of the clearest stakes is the fate of the attempts to loosen protections of workers, public health and the environment that the Trump administration has pursued. Typically, reversing regulations is hard but the sloppiness of the Trump administration will give a new administration many relatively easy-to-reverse targets.

2. Save the post office

Get rid of the poison pill.
And make voting by mail
The law of the land.
