Breaking: Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders will bring the House back in session this week to deal with recent concerns about the U.S. Postal Service, she announced Sunday evening

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders will bring the House back in session this week to deal with recent concerns about the U.S. Postal Service, she announced Sunday evening.Advertisement

"That is why I am calling upon the House to return to session later this week to vote on Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman [Carolyn] Maloney’s 'Delivering for America Act,' which prohibits the Postal Service from implementing any changes to operations or level of service it had in place on January 1, 2020," Pelosi said in a letter to fellow House Democrats. "House Democratic Leader [Steny] Hoyer will soon be announcing the legislative schedule for the coming week.

3)That’s why states like IL allow thousands of Dead People vote! This needs to be investigated!pretty sure IL has more registered voters than population,like has been discovered in other Dem run states and cities. How can this happen?Easy you don’t want accurate/fair elections.

2)Let’s be clear you have participated in Absentee Voting in the Military. Your vote could be verified. Mail in voting definitely helps to rig the election for the Communistic Democrat Party. Because Democrat run states never purge or update voter registration.

SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer More hoax and made up shit by the dems to get Trump. I’m so sick of it. How bout you get some money to the people that need it instead of worrying about made up stories

Where she been all these yrs? The p.o. Has been a horror for years

So she wikl bring the house back because of mailboxs, but not because people need relief money?

Perfect opportunity to widen the investigation through the fall, dogging the GOP strategy to subvert the election every step of the way, every day.

Since the changes, to make USPS more efficient, were already in progress, before democrats pushed the needless action of vote by mail, legal action is just another waste of time & money. If you can protest, go to Walmart, Home Depot or the Supermarket, you can vote in person.

Many people are suffering financially. Get the dam bill done and help us!

Leadership matters! Thank you SpeakerPelosi

Show any proof of truth to this mail conspiracy

So its all about politics? Not people in need?

Is this the same post office that has been undermanned, underfunded, and mismanaged for the last 30 years?

The USPS is and has been incompetent and a joke for some time yet The House is coming back to supposedly address issues with it rather than actually doing something to help so many Americans out of work and on the verge of being homeless via another stimulus?

She's rediculous OUT OF TOUCH with the people

Oh SpeakerPelosi ? Not the concern of helping the American people in dire need of assistance? Just helping the USPS; the magic rabbit hole?! Stop politicizing this and holding Americans hostage!

She comes back for a USPS hoax but not for stimulus checks, America. Remember in November.

Couldn't get her way with the stimulus check so she left for vacation, poor woman's so stressed. BUT, bring this USPS controversy into the open and, damn, she's back with more BS about oppression.

Damn a vacation at all, they should be back today

The power is out in California, makes sense she is moving back to DC

They care about those votes more than they do the people out here hurting because their jobs are still closed! Come back for those votes tho!

But not for covid relief

Yes

Reaganomics was always a Republican corporate takeover of the USA.

1st post in a while but as Americans we should not be silent, our media is muddying down Trumps audacity to fix this election, media not calling Trump CRIMINAL is just his propaganda outlet. Americans not combating this CRIMINAL are enemies of America & on Nov 5th no more America

Sure, go on vacation and forget millions of people had their benefits cut and can't pay rent, or bills. But, by all means get together, to discuss a made up crisis at the post office.

How about meeting for that whole COVID relief thing?

Go Nancy and House! We need you to support the people you represent. Sadly, it will pass to the Senate and they will ignore it as they have done the multitude of bills you moved their way. Go down swinging! Vote them out in November!

Aren't they on vacation? Like, the same vacation they couldn't miss even though there are millions of people in financial struggles, & they couldn't miss this vaca to agree on a stimulus plan? But hey! We gotta get that mail-in voting figured out ASAP! 🤦‍♂️

If voting by mail is secure and provides adequate proof of identity, then so is purchasing guns by mail.

Stop! Trump is counting on people being afraid OR lazy to vote in person. Due to Covid, if you’re afraid to vote in person, please drop your vote into a ballot box. Go online and find out where you can do it in your town. Don’t let this be the reason Trump gets another term!

Your move Trump corrupt.

An entire WEEK to take a fucking vote. Inexcusable.

You know, for a party that pretends to be super confident that Biden is going to win in a landslide, they sure are working overtime to find excuses for why Biden is going to lose.

BarackObama had 8 years to fix it.

While you're at it, Nancy....

SpeakerPelosi has ZERO concerns about USPS. Her only concern is pushing MailInVoting which (we all know) is a perfect platform for abuse, and fraud.

weird how she isn't concerned about stimulus checks

Talk about complete bullshit.

Why would any educated government official think they were getting their full vacation in 2020?

LOLOLOLOL

LMAO what are they doing lol

Conspiracy theorists chasing nothing when the american ppl need relief

Y’all (rightfully) mock QAnon, but Nancy Pelosi is turning the House Democrats into just as insane conspiracy theorists.

🤣

Which means she got crp for leaving town.

USCIS needs help now. But these fucks don’t give a shit.

So they'll come back to help make sure they can figure things out to get their votes, but they took their recess without the stimulus finished in the first place ? Just shows what they really care about.

CongressDoSomething SaveTheUSPS MakeBillionairesPay HEROESActNow MedicareForAll UniversalBasicIncome PandemicActionNOW

they still hold the press fbi and doj above the law

Screw Americans needing help. Democrats are spending millions to buy mail in voting across the country and that's their only priority. Spending millions of their donors money to promote confusion and ensure that the election doesn't end on November 3rd.

Is it true the Postmaster General Dejoy has over $100 million invested in FedEx and UPS.AND since 2016, Mr. DeJoy has donated $1.2 million to President Trump’s campaign coffers and nearly $1.3 million to the Republican Party.?

Just more drama.

The House is not on Vacation. Senators are enjoying their August break vacation while the rest of Merica is worrying about how to pay bills and feed their families. Technically the house is in session but they’re working in their districts to get reelected.

About time. ...Democrats are playing politics while people are suffering

Breaking: live action shot of Pelosi breakfast

Breaking: Pelosi, on historic vodka-fueled bender, believes USPS internet conspiracy theory. Literally no one is shocked.

And whatever they pass will die in the Senate, as it should.

So long, Snail Shells Jul 2009. Obama

YAWN, Pelosi and her selfish bullshit is getting old, same old shit different day, none of it productive to America. VOTE THAT RELIC OUT OF OFFICE.

what do you say to a country that holds its fbi gestapo above the law and loses its post office? 'fix it nazi'

Madam Speaker, Ma'am SpeakerPelosi the very first order of business must be to enact tedlieu bill then, use it IMMEDIATELY.

Recent concerns? Now she’s worried about the government agency losing billions for years and years? Sounds legit.

Not to work on unemployment but to work on the Post office. What does that tell you?

Nancy bringing back to do nothing like shes done every other week

Lol.

So Nancy has avoided going to work for months unless it’s to fund another slush fund. Gotcha.

*concerns. Lol. SpeakerPelosi & the Democrat/media complex's desperate attempts to keep this ridiculous USPSisEssential narrative alive only = 'concerns' to themselves. More time & $ wasted on Dems' fake controversies.

There's much bigger concerns right now. Deal with those instead.

Truth. The next several weeks will be the hardest & longest yet, this is where we dig in deep to the finish. We must Save the USPS. & Veterans need their mail. USPSsabotage USPS_is_essential USPStrong USPSSlowDown SaveTheUSPostalService

Hope it works Madam Speaker but trump has defied the laws and will continue until that Joint Chief hauls trump out of WH. The guy trump humiliated in front of the church with someone's Bible.

Nobody gives a crap about Nancy Pelosi and her hatred of TRUMP politico... Better back TRUMP or get 'Left' behind... Pun intended

Good!!!! They need to do their jobs

Yes! Go SpeakerPelosi !!!!

She would be failing in her duty to America if she didn’t!

Ahh so come back and work for usps but not for the people they serve who they told to stop their entire lives. Crooks at the highest levels

Because she cares about all of us, not just Democrats.

Yea postal service in food lines are they, whatever

Maybe bring the House Democrats back to help unemployed Americans?

.HouseDemocrats SenateDems are Patriots who never stop fighting for USA! SaveUSPS

Just let JeffBezos amazon take over the USPS USPS

This horrible evil person can call the house back for this garbage but not for the relief bill for the American people. openyoureyesAmerica

Awful awful woman.... 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

it truly is newsworthy that these useless hacks are simply going to show up for work.

So she is more concerned about an unproven voting method than American families suffering from shutdowns from a global pandemic.

Millions are unemployed due to Government mandates that closed their place of business, but that wasn’t enough for Nancy Pelosi to cancel her vacation. It took a ridiculous conspiracy theory about Trump forcing the USPS to remove mailboxes to force her back to work.

Thank God.

We won't go down without a fight! BlueMailboxLivesMatter ! Thanks SpeakerPelosi for not fighting for the out of work and those struggling to put food on there tables so we can save the mailboxes, God bless you!

Someone tell Nancy Pelosi the Obama Administration ended sending Social Security checks by mail 10 years ago!

Political theater...and not to deliver financial relief to the public, but to grandstand about a conspiracy theory.

Why would you block the restructuring of an agency that has squandered and wasted billions over the past decade alone... Unless the reason that money goes missing is because it's being funneled to them.

Didn’t the postal workers union just endorse Joe Biden? wouldn’t that make voting by mail illegal

What a fucking joke. The Dems hold up much needed aid but reconvene for a postal service conspiracy.

They are destroying themselves.

She can’t help the needy people with some stimulus money in order for them to eat and pay their rent but she sure can come back to get her voter fraud on nation wide with mail in ballots!🙄

TruthBlueIn Yes, Congress & Speaker Pelosi, please do something please. Trump unchecked is just like a train wreck waiting to happen. Of course Turtle Mitch will ignore everything ...have the Senate take the whole month off as he & GOP don't give a damn about the American people.

Another words another Dog-and-Pony-show .... Yipee! So exciting. 🤦‍♀️

They're not 'recent concerns'. This has been an issue for well over 2 decades. USPS is breaking us. It's incompetent, unreliable, & costs us billions in tax dollar losses. Even Obama ran on getting rid of it.

So bring them back for a generated hoax by democrats, but they cant approve the money for the struggling American people ? Democrats are the real enemy of the people

SpeakerPelosi SenateDems SenateGOP senatemajldr grant EssentialWorkers of the PostalService hazardpay when Congress convenes

Millions of hard-working Americans still unemployed and Nancy takes a vacation… Get in the way of her chance of stealing the election...I’m coming back baby.

🤡

LMAO this is the stupidest thing in the world

I guarantee none of these tools has bought a stamp in decades. 🤪

It will be the first time a QANON level conspiracy theory has brought the house back in session.

How is this going to result in anything? Trump's 'plan' is already happening, and for the house to do anything it would require the senate... When was last time Mitch allowed a vote on something? You want something to happen get the Kentucky voters involved!

These idiots are gonna have a great convention.

The democrats really don’t want the media focusing on joe biddn

Whatever

sherrirbgr

Democrat voters are the most gullible, excitable idiots. My God, these people will believe anything.

StopTrumpNow StopTrump SaveTheUSPS SaveThePostalService WayToGoHouseDemocrats

Maybe they just want a paycheck and spending money ... until Election Day! They really are none thinking mules with an appetite for rebellion!

This reminds me of John McCain suspending his campaign and rushing back to Washington to do something about the financial crisis.

Hahahahaha. Russia! USPS! Russia! USPS! Putin!

This may be her lowest moment. Calling a session over a Twitter conspiracy theory.

FactsNotFalsehoods - SpeakerPelosi Congress just approved money for USPS back in April. Dems want to eliminate the debt USPS owes even though USPS created its own mess by having a retiree health care benefit in addition to their pension.

Cool, they can embarrass themselves yet one more time in an election year.

About time...

Come back and fix the virus relief bill. The post office has been broken for 15 years! Where u been?

Pelosi needs to resign.

Folk are seriously in need of food; medical care; & basic needs!!! Where is OUR Government! On VACATION!!! TrumpKillsUSPS while Seniors/Vets waiting for meds! 90,000+ Vets work for USPS!!!! GOPLeader FAILED

What we have is a 5 alarm fire here. And while your at it,how about the next pandemic relief bill!

geardrops But how much can they really DO without the Senate?

Why were they on vacation in the first place?

Yet she's been in office while half of the post offices in her state closed. democratsaredestroyingAmerica VoteRedToSaveAmerica2020

She had very little choice.

I wonder if they could get around to any other work while they’re in town...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Fucking idiot.

Smart move. Address me as well.

And as they have for the past three years, the Delusional Do Nothing Democrats will do nothing. Pelosi and Schumer are incapable of accomplishing anything.

McConnell get the senate back.

Nancy thinks she going to meet with Ben Franklin. What a ditz

Couldn't be bothered to stick around to help people thru the pandemic but will cut their vacation short to push another stupid partisan conspiracy. More of your run-of-the-mill disingenuous political grandstanding from Pelosi 🥱

KimKalunian 2016 Loss excuse: Russia, Russia, Russia. 2020 Loss excuse: Post Office, Post Office, Post Office.

Guess the out of work people were not quite important enough for her to come back

It is hilarious the crackpot, conspiracy stuff they will prioritize over a stimulus package to normal Americans.

She couldn’t be bothered to pass a clean bill for relief of Americans - that her party put out (and keeps out) of work. But she’ll pass a clean bill for the lousy post office? OMFG 🙄

I heard Nancy Pelosi has a fetish that she loves when people cough in her face.

Weak. Subpoenas are needed in order to support contempt motions.

Thank you Speaker Pelosi, thank you Congressional House Democrats, let’s do this and kick their tawdry butts!

DJx1555 Thank you, Dems, you are always on the job and for looking out for the American people.

KeithOlbermann LOCK HIM UP

Y'all need to stop swallowing conspiracy theories whole. Like, really, just stop.

The USPS is so effective that Amazon didn’t feel the need to create its own delivery service.

Too bad Pelosi wasn't concerned enough to have the House remain in session to address the economic distress of American business and the general public due to Covid-19. Apparently she believes mail ballots are a more urgent matter.

KeithOlbermann Because this is more important than the stimulus and getting people the money they need to survive while unemployed. Pay attention people. Piglosi and her pedophiles will do anything to keep Trump from helping America! TrumpNowMoreThanEver2020

Vote at a polling station if you're worried about the post office 🤪

KeithOlbermann Thanks

Sneak Preview

KeithOlbermann Does anyone have a link, or can direct me, to a detailed line item list of what each side is proposing? Thanks in advance for any help. A side-by-side list would be educational and help with transparency.

Hopefully no one expects the USPS to deliver them to work!

Oh but not to help the citizens? scum.

USPS mail flow is not the bottleneck. They can scale up to handle volume as they do for holidays. Question is, can the local county election boards handle the huge volume of manual verifications required to legitimately process mail in ballots? Disaster!!

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!!!

I thought the Postal service funded itself? 🤔

She has been a politician all her life and now she wants to fix the Post office

The grand theft plan by Democrats is being jeopardized and panic is setting in.

Yes, do your job, Nancy. Use your advantage. Show Dems as the saviors of the Postal Service and Trump as the destroyer. America will remember in November.

Idiots

But not for money for Americans

Hey media are you going to report on nsncy lying about social security checks in the mail .. Obama banned this 😂😢😂😂

Their plan to throw the election with mail in voting is far more important than all of us who they’ve forced out of work and left helpless with no stimulus plan and no sign of our state opening!?!?

SpeakerPelosi Please ask what was the purpose of disposing of mail sorting machines & mailboxes? How is that supposed to help the financial problems they're having, if that is the excuse they're using? Seems like that would only increase costs! SaveUSPS ProtectOurVotes

Arrest the asshole if he doesn’t show up.

And the Next Stimulus Relief Package I Hope

But the aide to Americans hurting can wait....right?

MORE BULLSHIT FROM DEMOCRATS!!

The essence of the Democrats is communism! The ugly role they played during the pandemic and the BLM riots has been made plain for all to see. The Democrats has descended to use skin color to win votes. They will destroy U.S. sooner or later. They are the real enemy of democracy.

vtg2 Won't matter with a useless Senate.

Woman doesn’t even know that Social Security checks are not mailed anymore and haven’t been in 10 years. What are these old stupid people, from both parties, doing?

Good! When will Pelosi take out her 'pork' with her garbage? Send money to the people NOW!

Breaking: Democrats are going to blame Trump for the USPS downsizing for the past 15 years... Because they've forgotten all of history and think he was always in charge. They're really losing their goddamn minds. Someone should offer help.

So that'll make about 3 days for democrats of work? this year

You come back for them but not the people that need help now...

Thank you!!

but not about renewing unemployment dollars for people out of work. this is disgraceful, want to steal the election.

Will they be using green transportation back to DC

The House is expected to vote as early as Aug. 22 on a proposal to block the Trump administration’s plan for overhauling the Postal Service. The revised schedule comes amid a national uproar over a crisis within the USPS ahead of a national election

Go get it done. You can do it

Imagine being so bitter and partisan that you perceive any action taken against a crisis as more worthy of criticism than creating the actual crisis.

LMAO. Trump is playing Pelosi and the Democrats like a cheap fiddle.

Good. I mean.. how was it even hemmed and hawed over for as long as it was?

Which one will testify?

laloalcaraz Congress holds the purse strings, freeze DHS, ICE, DOD spending and watch how quickly these bastards get in line. Unfortunately Speaker Pelosi is compromised and cannot do her job to straighten this mess therefore she must be replaced by someone who can.

She says she fears delays receiving Social Security checks..the Social Security Admin stopped mailing checks 10 yrs ago.

Sorry that the commies can't steal the election.

Oh noooo!! The republicans aren’t falling for your attempt to rig the election through the postal service.

Lol.. fucking clowns

She’s more concerned that their mail in fraud won’t happen.

Do something about the rioters.

Here comes the next manufactured Democrat hoax. What else would you expect?

Oh...my, Nancy ?

Oh. Now they care about the Postal Service. 😂 Frauds.

It’s bullshit. This is E Boise area.

convention imp but so is heroes act they can do more now that they dont have to travel multi task senate needs to act senatorial

That’s funny

But not helping Americans huh?

ABOUT fcking TIME...!!! SpeakerPelosi 🇺🇸 get to WORK - USE YOUR POWER

It’s not a conspiracy theory if enough people believe it.

Do they have a quorum? What if the Republicans continue vacationing? And as long as the Senate doesn't convene, it's useless.

Yet when it came to.helping Americans pay bills and keep businesses open, they high-tailed it out of foggy bottom!

At least political theater isn't shut down like Broadway.

And they still haven’t figured out the stimulus/covid relief yet, but damn, the fucking post office.

Evictions? Anything? Hello?
