Breaking: @SpeakerPelosi says she’s calling the House back into session this week to vote on USPS legislation

— Josh Lederman (@JoshNBCNews) August 16, 2020

A senior Dem aide says likely plan is for the House to return this week to deal with USPS fiasco.

House will vote on the “Delivering for America Act,” which would block Postal Service from implementing changes to operations/service in place on January 1.

This isn’t a partisan issue.

If you believe Americans have the right to vote – without putting their lives on the line during a pandemic to do it – you support the full funding of the United States Postal Service – period. https://t.co/zQN5yClWFj

Yes the USPS is an emergency.

But cutting government and then pointing to a crippled government as proof that government doesn’t work has been a Republican strategy for 40 years.

Sen. Robert P. Casey Jr. received more than 5,000 letters on Postal Service issues just in the past week. Sen. Gary Peters has received nearly 7,000 — more than 750 of them related to ballots. Sen. Jon Tester reported 3,000 USPS complaints. https://t.co/8hrTJBBXCc

You might have heard about Louis DeJoy because of his huge RNC and Trump donations. Or maybe when his wife, also a donor, was appointed as Canadian ambassador. Or maybe when DeJoy became the Postmaster General while holding $30 million in USPS conflicts.https://t.co/5BRV6yvQnY

It's not a protest in North Carolina until the banjo comes out.

“18 USC §1703:
(a) Whoever, being a Postal Service officer or employee,…detains [or] delays …any …mail entrusted to him …shall be fined …or imprisoned not more than five years.” Note the absence of any requirement that willfulness be charged or proved.

Remember a few months ago when Senate Democrats voted to help Trump install the head of Mitch McConnell’s super PAC as chair of the postal service just before the 2020 election?

Good times. https://t.co/YQ00U4gkM4

Yikes! If you thought Trump had an ace up his sleeve, or some grand scheme with his new campaign manager – read this. It’s a mess. No wonder he wants to take down the USPS. https://t.co/6bMBqyX3zT

As I've said many x, Trump views himself as the wartime president for Red America, with blue America, not any foreign rival, as the adversary. https://t.co/0KqVqaGKja

Fun fact: The Democratic Party as of 2018 was the weakest it’s ever been in its history.

This legitimately can be blamed primarily on Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s management of the DNC. Read for yourself.#DebbieMustGohttps://t.co/hYCbChEPQp

This is what the protests in Belarus — perhaps the largest demonstration in the country's history — looked like on Sunday as tens of thousands turned out to oppose President Alexander G. Lukashenko.

Democracy is a value, so it must be valued, and it is a practice, so it must be practiced. If we want it, we must be open to learning from others, and then be prepared to take responsibility for ourselves. My reflections about learning from Belarus: https://t.co/8lmNbz58fJ

I didn't even vote for Starmer and I think this is a bit harsh…😬

I share the frustration, but I accept they are just 4 months in and in the middle of a unique time in history, meaning it's not like normal times for an Opposition and "saying how shit things are" is bulk of job https://t.co/5lwyWHX2EQ
