The US House of Representatives passed a relief bill for the USPS.  All the Democrats and even a handful of Republicans voted for it.  It could not be more needed.  However, this great bill will never become law in time to protect the votes of people, like Trump*, who vote by mail from postal sabotage by the Republican Reich.<\/font><\/p>\n

The House of Representatives voted to approve funding for the U.S. Postal Service as Democrats accuse the Trump administration of sabotaging the mail service ahead of Election Day<\/a>. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, the House approved 257-150 to send $25 billion in funding to the USPS, as well as block any operational changes that were in place on Jan. 1, 2020<\/strong>, according to CNN. The bill isn’t likely to be supported by the Republican-majority Senate. <\/p>\n

In her remarks on the floor<\/a>, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the cost-cutting measures implemented by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy “degrade service, delay the mail and threaten to disenfranchise voters” as more Americans plan to utilize mail-in voting during the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. <\/p>\n

“Our Postal Service are the beautiful thread that connects our country, delivering sympathy and love, news and knowledge, peace and goodwill,” Pelosi, 80, said. “And as a grandmother, I will say, we have seen our children and grandchildren write their letters to Santa. We’ve seen messages come from the Tooth Fairy. We’ve seen photos and drawings of families taking joy in each other that no amount of social media can convey.” <\/p>\n

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a statement<\/strong> [Bought Bitch Midnight Moscow Mitch delinked<\/em>]after the vote, calling concerns over the White House’s connections to the seeming dismantling of the USPS “conspiracy theories.”<\/strong>…  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
