The Justice ‌Department filed an emergency request seeking to have the court lift ​Judge Indira Talwani’s order that temporarily blocks the ⁠postal service from implementing the plan, which includes an online portal that would track millions of mail ballots. The new system to regulate mail ballots, which came about following an executive order by Trump, has drawn fierce criticism. A whistleblower told Congress that the requirements could result in scores of mail ballots never being sent.

Here are today’s key developments in US politics: The Trump administration filed an emergency request asking the US supreme court to lift order blocking USPS from implementing mail-in voting restrictions. Chuck Schumer said the president was “[attempting] to destroy the integrity of our elections” with the move.  Excavation work on Donald Trump’s “Great Triumphal Arch” project in Washington is set to begin in the coming weeks, interior secretary Doug Burgum said. Congressman Don Beyer, whose district includes Arlington National Cemetery, described the arch project as “illegal, gridlock-increasing [and] narcissistic”.  Missouri’s supreme court ruled that a Donald Trump-backed US House map must go before voters to approve or reject the new districts, preventing it from being used in the upcoming November election. Trump and Republicans fumed over the decision.  Maryland’s supreme court has decided that a Democrat-backed congressional redistricting amendment can go before voters in the state in November in a win for Democrats.  Donald Trump announced an interim replacement for army secretary, Dan Driscoll, who suddenly resigned earlier this week amid reports of tension between him and defense secretary Pete Hegseth.  Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been asked to testify before a congressional subcommittee as part of an investigation into the “potential misallocation” of federal funds by the region’s Homeless Services Authority. Congressman Robert Garcia described the move as “another attempt by (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donaldtrump) Donald Trump and House Republicans to launch a witch hunt against Mayor Karen Bass and Los Angeles.”   (mailto:?subject=Trump administration asks supreme court to intervene over judge’s ban on USPS mail-in voting restrictions – as it happened&body=https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/sep/03/donald-trump-immigration-tariffs-canada-trade-iran-jd-vance-latest-news-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&page=with%3Ablock-6a9a23478f08fe90df70206b#block-6a9a23478f08fe90df70206b) Share           (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/sep/03/donald-trump-immigration-tariffs-canada-trade-iran-jd-vance-latest-news-updates?page=with%3Ablock-6a9a1a2b8f0834a1091df1e2#block-6a9a1a2b8f0834a1091df1e2) (Thursday, September 3, 2026 at 09:46 PM Eastern Daylight Time) 11h ago   21.46 EDT    Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been asked to testify before a congressional subcommittee as part of an investigation into the “potential misallocation” of federal funds by the region’s Homeless Services Authority. The Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency said in a (https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Burchett-Letter-to-Karen-Bass_090226.pdf) letter to Bass that it was looking at “waste, fraud, and abuse” of federal grants to address homelessness. Federal officials are investigating the agency’s use of funds because of “repeated false statements and its irresponsible actions and failures, including its lack of financial management, internal controls, and safeguards against conflicts of interest,” the letter states. The (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration) Trump administration sought to freeze funding for the agency earlier this year – a move that was blocked by a judge. The Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority has recently been under increased scrutiny by local and federal officials.

An (https://laist.com/news/housing-homelessness/lahsa-homeless-agency-financial-audit) audit earlier this year identified issues with the agency’s bookkeeping and accounting.

Earlier Thursday, the (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/trump-administration) Trump administration asked the court to step in to allow the USPS new system to regulate mail ballots to go into effect. “Americans are fed up with Trump, his failed war, and his rising costs.

The development was a blow to Republicans who were hoping the new congressional boundaries would help them keep a majority in the House in the midterms. Trump fumed over the ruling, describing it as “horrible, ridiculous, and unConstitutional” and arguing the election process was being “disturbed”. Catherine Hanaway, the state’s Republican attorney general, planned to appeal the decision to the supreme court. She argued it “thrust our state into a full‑fledged constitutional crisis”. Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries praised the ruling, calling it a “resounding victory for the people of the Show-Me State and a clear message to MAGA extremists trying to rig the midterm elections.” “The people are now empowered to decide what the congressional map should look like in November, not Donald Trump and corrupt Republicans,” Jeffries said.
