Mail-In Voting at the Supreme Court, Meta’s $17 Billion Deal & Voting Rights by Age

In this supporters’ exclusive midweek episode, Mike and Jay dig into three fights over elections, technology, and government power. First, the Supreme Court intervenes in the battle over President Trump’s new mail-ballot rules—raising questions about standing, last-minute election changes, presidential authority, and whether states can realistically comply before the midterms. Then they turn to Meta’s $17.1 billion settlement over alleged harms to children and teens, asking whether the enormous headline number will actually hurt Meta—or meaningfully improve kids’ mental health. Finally, they debate a federal appeals court ruling striking down South Carolina’s rule giving voters 65 and older easier access to mail voting, a decision that could put the meaning of the 26th Amendment before the Supreme Court.
