All the filings and responses are in at the Supreme Court for the USPS's request for a stay of the lower court's injunction that prohibits it from enforcing the new postal voting rules. I believe at this point the next step will the court's ruling, which will come when it comes.
For those following at home, the SCOTUS docket (with all the filings) is here: https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/26a305.html
(Most of the docket entries are amicus briefs from outside parties.)

Note that the court is not actually being asked to rule on the full merits of the legality of the executive order and USPS rules. That's a long way away. Rather, this is "just" a procedural matter, but a critically important one. The lower court issued a preliminary injunction against the USPS enforcing the new rules while the case proceeds. The Supreme Court was asked (by the USPS) to overturn that injunction so the rules can take effect for the midterms. @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social
