The Supreme Court did block the Trump administration's mail-voting effort on September 14, 2026, declining to let the Postal Service enforce its rule implementing the March executive order. But on August 24 the Court lifted a lower-court block on the executive order itself, so the claim that it blocked the order is only partly accurate.

A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.

This claim is in the show notes, the publisher's own words. It counts against the post, once.

What we found

Contradicts. Politico and CNBC report that on August 24 the Supreme Court lifted or paused the lower-court injunction against Trump's executive order, allowing key parts of the order to move forward, so the Court did not block the order itself at that stage.[3][4]

Supports. Reuters and SCOTUSblog report that on September 14, 2026 the Supreme Court refused the Justice Department's request to lift the injunction, leaving the Postal Service barred from enforcing its mail-ballot rule.[1][5]

Supports. Eastham Star and The Daily Star describe the Court as blocking or striking down the Trump administration's restrictions on mail voting.[6][7]

Context. The Supreme Court's September order was brief and unsigned, and it did not rule on the legality of the executive order; the AP reports an appeals court upheld the block while the Supreme Court considered the same case.[1][2][8]
