1. Now THAT'S something Bernie can shout about all he wants. Go, Bernie! Save the PO!

I really hope he can.

2. A Good Thing Upon Which To Focus

Raises public attention to what they're trying to do to the USPS.

3. Democrats tend to overlook political opportunities.

Saving the Post Office is a very popular notion, especially when taxpayer dollars are going to save cruise ships but the Republicans are willing to let the Post Office go under. Democrats, if wise, would use this as a political issue.

4. Agreed. Add that to Mcturtle saying the states should go bankrupt and Trump asking why blue states

should get a bail out. Talk about who that directly affects. Who gets paid by the state? Policemen, Firemen, Sanitation, Teachers, State Hospitals, Gov run clinics, bus drivers, etc - these are the people McConnel and Trump happily want to lose jobs - Somebody should put up a punishing ad with the thousands of people lining up at food banks because they are out of work. This is what Mcturtle and Trump want to happen by not funding the states, while funding big businesses.

5. I thought cruise ships

Were one of the things specifically excluded from bailouts?

7. I'm glad to see this from Sen. Sanders

@SenSanders
How in the hell does Carnival, a cruise ship company that pays virtually no federal income taxes, receive a bailout, but the Postal Service, the most popular government agency in America, does not?

The Post Office is essential. Cruise ships are not.

Now this, Bernie and I agree on. Good for him for speaking out.

9. It's the corruption Elizabeth Warren has been talking about

[Blue Owl]

10. I am livid about this -- complete insanity
