Four U.S. Senate Democrats on Friday pressed new Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about complaints from Americans about slow delivery since he took office in June and whether service problems could hinder attempts to mail in 2020 election ballots during the pandemic.

“Recent concerns raised by constituents and postal workers have brought to light questionable changes under your leadership now taking place in post offices and processing centers across the nation that may negatively impact mail delivery,” the senators wrote DeJoy who took office in June. “It is essential that the Postal Service not slow down mail or in any way compromise service.”

The senators cited Postal Service documents that discussed limiting carrier trips from processing centers to deliver mail and eliminating overtime and other cost-cutting measures.

Democrats need to repeal that completely inane pension regulation come January (hopefully) and allow USPS to raise prices as needed. Otherwise, stop pretending it needs to be a profit driven business and make it a true government agency. Current situation is insane.

They’re the only ones that don’t confiscate your drugs in the mail. UPS, DHL, and FedEx can pop your packages without a warrant. Leave the USPS ALONE.

This delay has been happening since March. So there's a big ass delay finally addressing this three months before an election. Get the Led Out!

Yes! Thank you. It’s already happening in SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. Mark the calendar. This is bullshit. USPS

I hope they figure out what happened to all the letters that I sent to my friends and family that straight up disappeared... I also routinely have to walk around my culdesac delivering mail because the postman here is too lazy to stop at every house. The USPS is a joke!

BLAME TRUMP, HE IS PURPOSELY TRYING TO CAUSE MORE VOTER SURPRESSION!

good. Do them like the VA.

Trump has his fingers in Everything that is destroying America along with that evil creepy looking STEVEN MILLER

Listen in

says it all!!!! as it goes.........

Trump's 2024 moon goal faces 'challenge' in Senate, GOP chair predictsIt will be a “challenge” to provide NASA the money it needs to follow through on Trump’s goal of returning astronauts to the moon in 2024, the top Senate appropriator for NASA says Trumps ideas are stupid so dont worry. NASA? I thought Mr Trump diverted all $$ to his new proclaimed Space Force. Just like the old days of the first Moon landings, give them the money they need to get us on the Moon. The economic returns over the years will pay it all back a thousand times over! Think HE3 and Deuterium.
