"standing at the Agnus Dei, even while kneeling is the ordinary posture in the United States." - "at" is confusing here - Isn't the ordinary posture to kneel immediately after the Agnus Dei?

Yes - that is the norm in the dioceses of the United States. Apparently it’s cool to ignore the norms you dislike if you are a bishop, but God forbid a priest encourage reception of the Eucharist kneeling and in the tongue…

It's also strange that many bishops pick and choose when they are going to rely on the USCCB to regulate liturgy in their own dioceses; many will ignore the ordinary posture of kneeling after the Agnus Dei, but will rigidly adhere to the USCCB's decision that standing must be normative for the reception of Holy Communion.
