This is completely unacceptable. He's arrogant and rude - one more deplorable

a new round of enhanced benefits.

Instead, we are messing around with long-term USPS funding when it’s clear there is more than enough funding to get well into 2021, we still have excess capacity in sorting machines, Blue mailboxes are not an issue because we have more than we need, and more.

Except to the choir, don’t think we’ve scored any points today.

Make Donnie Dumbass sign it into law and immediately remedy all the destruction he and Republicans have done.

Look at it like the Democratic Party trying to stop the Criminal Enterprise from destroying this country forever. Oh, and I seen DeJoy gulp and get very uncomfortable listening to what the penalties were for violating laws and what has happened to past postal employees. Yes, they are scoring points where it counts.

But they are pressuring him to resigning, no way he lasts now.. Tlaib mentioned criminal charges, which is a good possibility.

Ignore the efforts to game the elections through the post office. Ignore it. It doesn’t matter.

that to Mitch McConnell and then come back to us. Where have you been ?

And as for the USPS, the Democratic Party HAS TO kick up a shitstorm, otherwise Trump will be emboldened further. There are no second chances after Nov 3rd.

Apparently not in a civics class. It would be great if the House could unilaterally enact policy without the senate but that’s not how our govt works.

Something has to change for sure, and in an ideal world, the Republican Party would be burnt to ground. I think there's a chance, and certainly more former Repugs speaking out is good.
