Indira Talwani (U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee)
It’s official.
Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, the same Boston activist who spent the last two months trying to kill President Trump’s mail-in ballot security order, has now been forced to lift her nationwide injunction.
The Justice Department asked her to reconsider after the Supreme Court slapped down her other block on Monday.
On Wednesday she folded. In a nine-page order, Talwani conceded that, after Trump v. California, the League of Women Voters plaintiffs are “not likely to prevail as to ripeness” unless they rewrite their complaint now that the Postal Service has issued a final rule.
She didn’t do it happily. Reporting around the order makes clear the Supreme Court’s decision “compelled” her to toss the freeze even as she kept smearing the president’s election-integrity directive as likely to unleash “chaos.”
That’s the tell. When an Obama judge suddenly discovers the law after the Supreme Court has already spoken, it isn’t a conversion. It’s a retreat.
Just yesterday, we reported that Talwani went completely rogue, accusing the U.S. Postal Service of “violating” her injunction by finishing the very rulemaking the Supreme Court had just allowed to proceed, then imposing no remedy except a lecture.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, she accused the administration of having “feigned complete compliance” even though the final rule itself said USPS would not implement the 2026 changes until the injunctions were lifted.
Today those injunctions are down.
On March 31, President Trump signed Executive Order 14399, Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections. The order did two things Democrats cannot stand:
* Directed DHS, working with the Social Security Administration, to compile state-by-state lists of confirmed U.S. citizens age 18 and older.
* Directed the Postal Service to stop treating federal ballot mail like a free-for-all and transmit mail-in and absentee ballots only under uniform security rules, including official Election Mail markings, unique Intelligent Mail barcodes, and state-submitted lists of the voters receiving those ballots.
In plain English: the federal government should not be hauling ballots across the country to names that have never been checked against federal citizenship and identity records.
That is not “voter suppression.” That is the bare minimum in a country that has spent six years watching Democrats mass-mail ballots, harvest them, and then scream “democracy” when anyone asks for a list.
The Supreme Court, 6-3, already stayed Talwani’s companion injunction in the blue-state attorneys general case on Monday, finding those states sued too early and that her freeze was inflicting real harm on the executive branch. DHS can proceed with the citizenship lists.
The attorney general can prioritize cases against officials who pump federal ballots out to ineligible people. USPS rulemaking is no longer frozen by that order.
The final USPS rule, “Ballot Mail for Federal Elections,” is now published. States that want the Postal Service to carry their federal mail ballots must use approved envelope standards and feed the Federal Ballot Mail Portal:
* Name of the person receiving the ballot
* Address
* Unique barcode on the outbound envelope
* Unique barcode on the return envelope
* Originating state
Ballots that don’t meet the standard can be rejected and sent back to election officials for correction. USPS has said the point is tracking, fraud reduction, and getting the right ballot to the right eligible voter.
If a state refuses to play ball, it does not get to use the United States mail as an unaccountable ballot pipeline. That is the part that sent the League of Women Voters, the ACLU, and two dozen Democrat attorneys general into orbit.

Still ZERO impeached judges.
Leftie heads are exploding everywhere, as we speak. What to do, what to do....? I’m restocking my popcorn supply while singing Hallelujah.
Good news, but I can’t believe other actionable challenges won’t be launched. There are a lot of other black-robed-tyrants out there.
People like Indira Talwani are terrorists in judicial robes. They need to be removed from office, tried, convicted, and sentenced for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States
Impeachment without conviction and removal does nothing!
To convict & remove you need a Senate trial and 2/3rds Senate vote to convict. Given the current numbers in the Senate where is that 3/3rds coming from?
“unless they rewrite their complaint”? Does that mean they can keep re-writing the complaint and she can issue injunctions until after the elections?
And there won't be any until they can get convictions.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani is an accomplice to election fraud. What should be done?
Another Indian.
TELL THAT TO KYLE RITTENHOUSE!!!
You respect the wrong things and fear the wrong people!
The left is already shooting and all conservatives get is excuses from QUISLINGS like you!
Where is your sense of urgency??
The left is already shooting.
Typo
3/3rds = 2/3rds
It’s in the US Constitution! Following the Constitution makes me a Quisling??? Do you even know what a Quisling is? Or who he was?
She lifted it because she was informed that the new lawsuit was ready to file.
Thank God more manly men than you were in charge of the invasion of Normandy.
My grandfather made a difference, BECAUSE HE GOT IN THE FIGHT!!!
The fact that he is buried there is irrelevant.
David got in the fight.
Elijah got in the fight.
Kyle Rittenhouse got in the fight.
The left is already shooting.
I agree... impeach ALL of them- at least they will be too busy to issue more stupid rulings... and it may discourage some
IT DOESN'T EXIST!!! THIS IS A PERVERSION OF JUSTICE AND A LIBERAL CORRUPTION of what is written.
Go ahead bigshot, PROVE ME WRONG!!
Fun fact: Indira Talwani was confirmed as a federal judge back in 2014. The Senate vote was 94–0.
That is not a typo. The vote was 94–0.
Yay GOP! Tough as tough can be!
I don’t know a good way to predict who would be a good judge, other than if the Democrats nominate one, he probably sucks.
Impeachment of judges is a power of the United States Congress; as with other impeachments, charges are brought in the House and tried in the Senate.
If you want judges to be impeached (a worthy desire), bring it up with your congressthing.
