The House is set to return on Saturday to vote on legislation related to the US Postal Service, House Democratic leaders announced, with an eye toward providing the financially strapped agency with $25 billion in funding despite White House objections

The bill is still being finalized, top Democrats told members during a caucus call, but it will incorporate a version of Rep. Carolyn Maloney's Delivering for America Act, which would prohibit recent USPS operational changes the Trump administration has made that have slowed mail service around the country. The bill will also include Democrats' initial ask for $25 billion in funding for the Postal Service, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

"Alarmingly, across the nation, we see the devastating effects of the President's campaign to sabotage the election by manipulating the Postal Service to disenfranchise voters."Although the USPS has repeatedly tried to reassure voters it can handle the influx of mail-in ballots, in newly released letters, the USPS sent warnings to nearly every state that slowdowns in delivery could cause ballots to show up late and not be counted.

Which election? Is there an election in America this August? Rigging by mail in already seen by Trump! Try another crooked trick!

I hope he goes directly to jail does not get out of free pass and rots there . Then loses everything he has including his freedom for a long long time . Put him next to Trump when he gets there .

TRUMP-ASHENKO starts attacks on US Democracy and US Citizens right to Vote. removing sorting machines, failing to repair the sorting machines that are left WILL see millions of votes thrown in the bin, this is the USA 2020 - just like Belarus and North Korea

Get his ass out....

Since Trump hate Amazon so much. Bezos will delivery ballots for one day for Prime Members and 3 days for non Prime. Just drop off your ballots to any amazon drivers or 7-11 locker.

It will also be before Christmas / Holiday crush.... The election means nothing here... ANYONE there research anything?

Let the left keep acting like clowns.... You guys are really helping us grow the WalkAwayCampaign

Funny thing is that the post office has not asked for the money. They are doing fine. The problem is that they don’t make a profit and there is so much waste. De joy is streamlining the post office to make it profitable.

Coming in to discuss the USPS that’s been failing for years, yet cannot come to agreement on pandemic relief Are y’all starting to see their priorities yet? Have you woken up or still think they have your best interests in mind?!

The Post Office has funding to last into 2021 already, but sure let's turn go with the usual dramaoverfacts gameplan and sell the masses another crisis.

This is great, but they still get their week off. House members work hard for us, but people facing poverty and eviction aren't getting a summer recess. Congress (both parties) should have foregone their vacations to do this.

Don't tell me u are sharing some.

Smh

SpeakerPelosi WhipClyburn SenSchumer I appreciate the work on a bill to give $25 billion to the USPS.How exactly will the bill get the money to the USPS if the Senate won't pick it up and vote on it and Trump won't sign it?What does that give the USPS? FireDeJoy JailDeJoy

Why don’t they vote from home

But this is exactly what trump wanted. Money for USPS. Separately. He said it! So, one thing in one package should solve the problem. No $$$ for any FBI building or lunch deductions.

IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO CLEAN UP ALL THE DEMOCRATIC MESS

Trump2020Landslide Trump2020NowMoreThanEver

😂😂😂 They just got 10 billion they haven't even used

BREAKING turn to FoxNews or oan to see out great President VoteTrump2020toSaveAmerica he's speaking now. He's on fire.🔥

God damn she looking rough.

I hope they make the cars nicer with the 25 billion. They’ve been using the same design since the 50s

If the issue is handling millions of new ballots, won't the postage paid on those new ballots provide the funding necessary? If not, why not just charge more to mail the ballots?

Power of the purse baaabbby.

Ok

I hope he brings this up

Make sure to mention this:

Lib heads exploding

The only reason they agree for DeJoy to testify is because it will run out days to the election and they know Dems will spend ALL their time writing statements snd doing sound bites but won’t courageously stand with the people and find legislative ways and means to attack the GOP

How the fuck is that tidbit about financials even remotely related to the story? How are you all so bad at this.

Gonna be lots of questions...gonna be a lot gaslit answers.

Let's hope that they resist the temptation to go after Trump, and focus on the pain and hardships this debacle is causing.

So funny, Democrats blaming Trump for the USPS problems even though he has been in politics for three years. They deman a wide vote by mail (never been done nationwide) even while knowing the mail system is broken and has been for decades. Give us a freaking break.

Bring back the Pony Express.

Oh man, they are going to CRUSH THIS FASCIST.

Arrest him when he gets there!

The left moved from 'social' to 'postal justice warriors'

The invitation was BYOH Bring your Own Handcuffs..

Just wait, somehow Trump will find away to keep him from testifying. Maybe even with some kind of threat. That is all Trump knows how to do is threaten people if they don't do as they are told.

I am King God of the world, I want freedom

Financially strapped? When’s the last fiscal year that the whitehouse turned a profit? Does secret service make money? How much do the marines cost?

One should remind him who is supporting prior to testifying....if he finds this something to be proud of his word will mean nothing!

So we go from Russia Hoax to Post Office Hoax? Nice work, CNN!!!

RepKatiePorter will be ready. 😁

Why are people blaming the President for this?

Predict profuse sweating and squirming with many potty breaks.

Bet he’s a no show or cancels.

Or more accurately the agency that was hobbled by Congress.

Another Trump appointee Who will lie under oath to help him steal the election

Pelosi to call House back to session this week to vote on Postal Service billSpeaker Nancy Pelosi said Sunday she is calling the House back into session this week to vote on a bill prohibiting the U.S. Postal Service from implementing... Go Nancy! Next Saturday is barely this week - but considering she wants her lackeys marching around our post offices on Tuesday - that's the best she can do - while America waits on her - again. If I understand this correctly....they left without finalizing anything on unemployment benefits but they are coming back for the post office. The post office should be sold (if anyone wants it) to Amazon, UPS, FedEx or another potential entity. Or let it go bankrupt.
