Matt and Ivy are joined this week by Danielle Root from the Center for American Progress to talk about the Trump administration's attacks on the post office juuuuuuust in time for mail-in ballot requests to start hitting our mailboxes. They talk about the alternatives and how important it is to make a plan early.

They also discuss Joni Ernst's speech to the RNC, the unwarranted shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, and the latest pandemic news from Iowa.
