The Supreme Court order was issued on Monday, August 24, 2026, and Judge Talwani rescinded her injunction afterward, which supports the core sequence. However, multiple sources (AP, Jurist, WBUR, Axios) report that she vacated or canceled the injunction on Wednesday, August 26, not Tuesday, so the claimed day is contradicted.
Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.
What was said
… Uhm, it was then sent back, this is all in the week of, I should have looked at my calendar before this, but second to last week of August, uhm, Where, it was then sent, that was a Monday decision. On Tuesday, it was sent back to the lower courts, and consistent with the Supreme Court order, Judge Tawani rescinded her injunctions. But by Wednesday, the plaintiffs have filed new cases, and the reason they could file new cases was that several days before the Supreme Court actually issued their order, the Friday before, the Postal Service finalized that order.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Talwani vacated or canceled her preliminary injunction on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, not on a Tuesday, according to AP and other outlets.[1][3][4][5]
Supports. The Supreme Court issued its per curiam order in Trump v. California on Monday, August 24, 2026, lifting the block on the mail-voting order.[2][3][6][7]
Supports. Talwani's rescission was explicitly premised on the Supreme Court's Monday ruling, so the causal link to the Supreme Court order is supported.[4][5][7][8]
Context. The post's own account says the Tuesday rescission came after the Monday decision, but the sources date the rescission to Wednesday; the 'second to last week of August' framing is not directly addressed by sources beyond the August 24 date.[3]
