Voters express concern over mail-in ballots after major postal office delays

By Misty Severi | Washington Examiner Voters have expressed concern over the speed of the United States Postal Service, which has seen significant delays in recent months, as the country prepares for the 2024 presidential election. The voters are largely concerned about the speed of mail-in ballots, and whether they would arrive at their destinations in time to be counted.

USPS also apologized for the service interruptions and delays seen in the past six months, which have been attributed to a roof collapse, the transition to new processing equipment, and “executional complications ar...

Rep. Buddy Carter: Key bridge collapse ‘is why we should be fiscally responsible’

ByJenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) called for more fiscal responsibility amid the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. Carter appeared on Sunday Morning Futures after crews removed the first piece of the collapsed bridge from the Patapsco River on Saturday in an effort to reopen Baltimore’s port. It remains to be seen how much it will cost to rebuild the bridge. “Yes, it needs to be fixed immediately. There’s no question about that. It’s going to be a big impact on our economy,” Carter said. “However, when we get into this, we need to look at a number of different things. First of all, what’s the responsibility of the shipping company? What’s the responsibility of the insurance company? And what about funds ...

Republicans decry arrest of Gold Star father for heckling Biden at State of the Union

By Emily Jacobs | Washington Examiner GOP lawmakers are defending the Gold Star father arrested by U.S. Capitol Police on Thursday for heckling President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address.  Police say that Steve Nikoui, 51, was arrested for violating the D.C. Code after continuing to yell at the president despite officers warning him to stop. His son, Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui, was one of the 13 U.S. service members killed in an ISIS-K bombing during the American withdrawal from Kabul, Afghanistan, on Aug. 26, 2021. “This is a routine charge on Capitol Hill.
