## Resource

September 4th, 10am: With the midterms 60 days away, the Trump administration asks the Supreme Court for permission to resume restricting mail-in voting through the Postal Service, and a lower court judge fears that could mean ballots tossed and voters shut out. Republicans are worried the president's super PAC is sitting on more than $400 million with no word on whether any of it goes to campaigns, while at least 70 GOP candidates may skip next week's midterm convention in Dallas. Plus, big money in sports, including the NBA suspending Clippers owner Steve Ballmer for a year over salary cap violations tied to Kawhi Leonard. Mary Harris, Pablo Torre, Antonia Hylton and Shawna Thomas join The Group Chat this morning.
