Is there any place that's offering an alert
When Biden goes over the top? I'm getting sick of hanging on the news, but I sure would like to go out and honk my horn like crazy at the very minute. And I would leave my phone on to be able to do that.

The United States Postal Service has been court-ordered to do a sweep for 300k missing mail-in ballots. Theyve refused.
Can the USPS just decline to follow an order from a federal judge? Thats the question sweeping the nation as election day comes to a close. The Washington Post has reported that the order from U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan of the District of Columbia required the USPS to do a sweep of facilities in 12 postal districts in 15 states, by 3:30 pm.
Instead, the agencys attorneys sent back a response over an hour after the deadline, refusing to comply, saying they couldnt follow the order without significantly disrupting preexisting activities and suggesting that the court couldnt possibly have meant for that to happen.
Attorneys, legal experts, and voters alike expressed shock that an entity could expect to get away with flatly refusing to comply with a Federal order, especially at the expense of voting rights.
