The U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General is investigating reports of service disruptions and other issues raised by lawmakers, a spokeswoman for Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Friday.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Postal Service Inspector General Tammy Whitcomb said the office is “in receipt of the congressional request and are conducting a body of work to address concerns raised,” but declined to comment further. New Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who has donated $2.7 million to Trump and his fellow Republicans since 2017, has ordered operational changes and a clampdown on overtime in a bid to fix the financially troubled service, which reported a net loss of $2.2 billion in the last quarter.

😠😠😠😠😠

realDonaldTrump is in an arduous campaign in an attempt to disqualify U.S Postal services. Interestingly a service that worked throughout his administration, provided electoral service and elected him. And the eve of the election, in Trump's opinion, is dysfunctional

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!

This should be going directly to the Supreme Court as an attempt at rigging a US election and preventing people from being able to exercise their rights to vote. Trump and his cronies will simply fire the Postal Service watchdog. Easy!

They don’t deliver after 10:00 pm No Big Deal

Watchdog? Come on what’s he watching, cartoons?

No shit, after stealing mailbox’s how can I send my birthday 🎂 and Christmas cards 😡

But why can’t we get a restraining order to stop this sabotage of our nations delivery service?

USPS is 75 Billion in debt, time to move on ! We have UPS, DHL, FedX, private sector can do this, TRACK better deliver Faster !

When the POTUS is openly and illegally using the Post Office to suppress the vote, then the only remedy is impeachment. HouseJudiciary RepJerryNadler SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer JoeBiden KamalaHarris GOP MittRomney RepLizCheney SenSasse SenateGOP

The mailman is a deviant and a pervert! I bark and bark at him, and he comes to our door, anyway! Don't trust him! DefundUSPS! NoMoreMailman!

'thats not ..sniff..sniff true ..waahhh.'

Impotus's flunky is removing mailboxes, sorting machines and removing USPS officals so that the vote can be suppressed.

Why won't Democrats come back from recess and work with Trump on this?

mail-in voting makes it much easier to control the voting, we mobilize to 'help' uneducated, low income, illegals, blacks, etc, fill out ballots 'properly' (check democratic ticket) and promise to put them in the mail for them, as a 'public service' because 'we care,' - get it?

Newman!

Turn up the heat. Initial reports of a pulse remains.

trumps main reason to disrupt the postal service is so he can cheat in the election with help from Russia he know he can't cheat with the MailInBallots paper trail

Why is Congress out for the summer? They have lots of work to do?

This isn't just about the elections. People rely on the mail for medication, service checks, bills and gov correspondence.

Reports of service disruptions? About what?

Only a matter of time before Trump fires USPS inspector general.

Every day, every year, for decades

get their ass!

Calm yourselves......
