BREAKING: Speaker Pelosi says she is calling lawmakers back to session later this week to vote on a bill that would bar changes to the U.S. Postal Service amid fears over delayed ballots.

"If Mr. DeJoy refuses to appear before Congress and the American people to testify, he should be stamped 'Return to Sender,'" Schumer said."He shouldn't be allowed to be the postmaster general."NBC News appThe Postal Service has been in dire financial straits for years, particularly because of its legal obligation to. During the coronavirus pandemic, letter volume has dropped significantly, while the number of packages handled has soared.

Meanwhile, numerous states recently received letters from the Postal Service warning that their vote-by-mail deadlines were too tight to ensure proper delivery. A number of states are expanding voting by mail because of the pandemic, seeking to prevent crowded polling places and possible spread of the coronavirus.

"My opinion, the position that I've taken, is that the appointment that was made [of DeJoy] and the actions that have followed are a direct internal attack on what we do, and it makes me sick, and it makes me angry," he said. "I work with these people, and I know that they're going to do everything they can to make sure that this gets done," he said."They take too much pride in it. They're not just going to buckle over and say, 'Oh, well.' It's just not going to happen."

FOS! With the media, you are nothing

DeJoy is a business man and a sucessful one at that. The failed USPS needs changes to make them more competitive. They have been going broke for years and recently received a $10 billion bailout from the Fed. Meanwhile, UPS and FedEx run highly efficient businesses.

So what... they won't do anything but bash POTUS... the Dem game is getting old and most folk know this.

. . . . . . . . . . . That's right, Christ is BACK... Planet Earth get ready, it's about to pop off... proveiamnothim (dot)com Christisback (dot)com Proveimnothim (dot)com Prove I'm not... . . . . . . . . . . .

Why not TODAY?

It is more important to put stimulus checks into the hands of the citizens, you ought to stay in Washington as you already had enough time off this year

The American people need to be dealt with first. Our survival is so much more important than getting mail. IMO

Where is the emergency hearing for all the violence going on in Portland and our other cities? Doesn’t she care? Why won’t they address it? Do they think it’s OK? Make this your breaking news MSNBC..

She cannot play executive branch.

Delayed ballots, like in the primaries nobody voted in? This is such an obvious attempt by democats to delay the election. Either vote absentee or perform your civic duty and vote in person. It's common sense. You're welcome.

Democrats only care about themselves and not the American ppl. They only call emergency sessions when it involves something that might falter their evil plans of destroying DJT and the ppl who voted for him.

Lmao, post office under the executive branch not congress

💙

Damage has been done. What can be done to fix that ?

Looks like its been going on....for years! Why didn't Joe clean it up when he was in office?

Please retweet to support anti-trump art movement!

This is going to be fun if he gets all data from the previous administration

Worry ABOUT the The AMERICAN PEOPLE you Left Hanging on No $$ than the PECIOUS VOTES GET Off your ASS n Go VoTE at the POLLS ! This STUNT is BECAUSE you DON'T want Electroal VOTES !! Get OVER IT

Yawn 🥱

CHEATERS!

Put the pig in the pokey.

DontMessWithUSPS

Sucks that you would need the Senate to vote on it too huh. More play acting for the ignorant voters you play to huh?

Is that Hank from Breaking Bad?

Oh so recalling it to keep their voting scam going but not for cheques for people who need it.

morgfair Why was this never fully investigated?

Somebody tell Pelosi that the Senate will 'rush' to deal with this bill some time after November 3rd. 🙄

Take a break . Wait , come back ... haha

Pelosi is the most dangerous evil to this Country. She is mandating that so many liberal pork go into a bill that is meant to help American's get though this pandemic. She is so damn shameful.

This gets our Stamp of Approval. SaveThePostOffice SpeakerPelosi USPS USPSHelp senatemajldr GOPLeader realDonaldTrump

Sir; where doesn't football 🏈 played a lot playing cards with a little Punch-up

Go get him SpeakerPelosi

Oh plz

A lot of good questions being asked of the SOH that should be directed at Republicans. The GOP didn't even want a bill

she must be pissed her freezer cant hold more icecream while over 10% of americans are out of work thanks to the TheDemocrats

Just another bipartisan ploy to avoid working on a stimulus package. Shouldn’t even be a package. Just break it down and send some relief to people or you’ll be facing a GeneralStrike in the near future.

Frickin call treason

Fine and arrest this bastard

I agree .but any way make it happen for the American people we need them .just like we need our siumiles checks make it happen please.

I think realDonaldTrump is attempting to create just enough doubt so when the results show he lost in November, he can file suit, which will go all the way to the Supreme Court, where he believes his stacked bench will rule in his favor It's a long game And it just might work!

Tell them to return everything to it’s former status.

Republicans are going to have fun with this she getting zero bills thru the house.

USPS needs more help than your finite mind can think of! Once again to late ... toooooo little!

I am a BLACK person born in this country of AFRICAN ancestry ..as are most Blacks born in the U.S. I am called AFRICAN-AMERICAN! Kamala Harris was born in California and has AFRICAN ancestry via Jamaica 🇯🇲 (the AFRICAN Diaspora). Kamala is as AFRICAN-AMERICAN as I am.

Imagine that. They actually have to pretend to work next week.

why is he wearing that ribbon on his neck? did he win the harry potter broom riding contest?

CBS News legal analyst said the chances of Mr. Trump being charged with a crime goes down dramatically if he's reelected in 2020. Orange 🍊 dude is scheming /plotting 24/7 and OVERTIME to stay in office !

That bitch seen $$$$ and comes arunning. She ain't fooling no one.

The left is holding the next round of stimulus and unemployment hostage while trying to shove 'pork' through on the same bill.

Dems are looking for excuses for loss in Nov PO issue is red herring. PO handles 500 million pieces of mail every day. If all people vote by mail would be 100 million 20% increase if all votes in 1 day. Spread out over 2 weeks and less than 2% increase PO cant handle 2% increase?

So sick of Democrats neverending bs crisis. Nothing but lies. Why don't they try working rather than lying & attacking the president?

Changes like being responsible for all the ballots in a presidential election

The Postal Workers Union is a Dem Party affiliate. Those are the ppl handling mail ballots. Who is likely to play around with ballots?

Even if you pass this bill, it won't go anywhere in the Senate. Prosecute DeJoy and anyone else you can, but admit that Trump has beat you this time and find a way around the issue. Beat Trump at his own game. Eg: EARLY VOTING

They should have never left for a vacation in the first place.

Your bunch can't come back and work on stimulus pkg for us but you break your neck getting back for stupid bs!

Pelosi - Put Dejoy on notice. Grill him and get answers! He needs to be FULLY ACCOUNTABLE!!

Meanwhile, about a million people in California are without power

SpeakerPelosi passing that bill puts the ball squarely in SenateGOP court, and public focus on their response. Damn, she's good!

SpeakerPelosi , we have to prevent further damage to the USPS but we also MUST REPAIR THE DAMAGE ALREADY DONE BY 45* & his minion DeJoyForPrison ReplaceTheMailboxes ReplaceTheSortingMachines NOW!

What about unemployment?!?!😬

Patta47cake Take these criminals to the woodshed Nancy.

In the meantime, he is dismantling all the sorting machines and removing mailboxes or locking them all over the country. TAMPERING WITH THE US MAIL! Meds are not arriving, small business is suffering, checks are not arriving... all of this as a lead up to ballots not arriving.

Truth...

Bravo to Nancy Pelosi for recalling the House to save the Postal Service! DeJoy was not VETTED! HE HAS HUGE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WITH SHIPPING PACKING COMPANIES! He is President Trump's crony doing his bidding to high jack the election in PLAIN SIGHT!

What about money

I’m done. The democrats don’t do enough. This president breaks law after law and the republicans are fine with this. I HATE WHAT OUR COUNTRY HAS BECOME WITH THIS HORRIBLE HORRIBLE MAN. I WANT TO MOVE OUT OF THE COUNTRY! IVE HAD ENOUGH!!!

They need to get those 23 who were removed from the top spots in management in front of a microphone.I also like the idea of prime time for these hearings.Americans want the USPS the way is was before that jackass took over. A ratings bonanza in my book

Why not TUESDAY?!?

Another fake crisis made up by democrats. If people were so concerned about their ballots not getting there in time they can easily just drive it there and drop it off.

So she's going to come back now that the fake outrage police have their panties in a bunch about the been jacked up post office. Where was she the last 2 decades. But she was just fine sitting on her ass while Americans go hungry.

AGAIN THIS IS STUPID. SHE CAN BRING UP ALL THE BILLS SHE WANTS BUT IT HAS TO GO THROUGH THE SENATE AND THE STUPID BILLS DEMOCRATS BRING UP IN THE HOUSE DONT PASS..

SpeakerPelosi DemGovs USPS

Democrats can’t win on ideas. They need to cheat to win. So sad

A bill the senate won’t even take up. Just wasting more tax payer money. When she stops throwing a tantrum about not getting the $2T in pork she wanted. Let the people know. She’s the worst Speaker in history.

They need the Senate before anything can actually happen. So Pelosi calling this return is just another political stunt.

Speaking of shipping, Thanks to the nytimes for letting me know that the owners of UlineShipping are INCREASING their donations to realDonaldTrump I was not aware and will never buy another of their shipping products.

A good symbolic gesture. The USPS needs money also. How will trump & McConnell handle any bill? We know. Will DeJoy testify? Will trump let him. We know. We need to make some more noise

Show your PELOTAS My Dear Nancy 😂👍👍👍👍👍👍 show them who has the Real HUEVOS 😝

If the recent USPS changes are not reversed, Trump wins, America loses. Sorting machines need to be returned and operational. Mailboxes need to be replaced. Overtime needs to be re-instituted. Any efficiencies lost over the past two months must be re-gained by September 1. USPS

Dead in the water

If he doesn’t show up! Have him arrested

There are many states that have motor voter registration. There are some states that allow illegals to vote in city/town elections. Illegals are on the voter rolls. What is the safety mechanism to prevent illegals from voting in a federal election which is a crime? Nevada? CA?

BREAKING: Hints on troop movements from Russia towards the border of Belarus There a general strike is announced for today.

Vote all 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 this November

How about Stimulus SpeakerPelosi

The thing that threatens THEIR livelihoods brings them back to work

Out freaking standing! Love ya Nancy❤️

Bill must pass the Senate and the president's desk. Not going to happen. This is another decoy while they steal absentee ballots.

Sorry, this bill will be to late, the damage has been done, unless he reverse course and return/put-back and reopen all the previous machines that was closed and put back on the streets all the boxes that is either lock or torn down in cities and towns. Trump Mission Accomplish.

jp1dp2 a bill that she can't get passed does NOTHING, Quit wasting time SpeakerPelosi TeamPelosi

It’s a shame that she needs to be forced to do her job. Wonder if people are starting to wake up to her negligence. She is so blinded by hatred of our president. KenNYbUnchained

So now she decides to call them all back to work .. what a hagg .. can’t wait until they lose again in November ! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ Trump2020⭐️⭐️

This is great and all but ~ 30 million Americans are still out of work and are very hungry

Fauci: 'i don't see a reason why ppl can't vote in person...' Libs: 'OMFG THERE'S A CONSPIRACY GOING ON AT THE POST OFFICE AHHHHHHH!!!!' lmfao f-cking clowns

How about we get a stimulus deal done for the American people. Before we go on chasing another one of the lefts far fetched theories again. Americans are sick and tired of dems playing politics with the house.

How about unemployment?

🧐

I would love if she would say when

Words are important. Let us hope that SpeakerPelosi will not bar the type of changes necessary to put things back to the way they were before the looting began.

Bring them back and impeach this Putin puppet!!!’

Now subpoena the postmaster general. Make that bastard testify on the record and if he lies throw his ass in jail. DO SOMETHING.

She shouldn’t be anywhere but in her office, along with the rest of them. Pathetic politicians in this country.
