    Is Congress seriously just going to allow the president to sabotage the postal system to suppress the vote in a pandemic?

        Mitch. Don’t let him hide behind the GOP skirt. Don’t let him hide behind Trump’s skirt. Don’t let him hide behind the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern act of Mnuchin and Meadows. This rests with Mitch. #WhereIsMitch

        It's not "Congress." Pelosi has drawn a red line around the USPS to protect it. Trump and Mark Meadows are the ones trying to destroy it so they don't get voted out of office. Learn the distinctions.

        Based on what? Pelosi already passed new funding and they've called in the head of the USPS for cross examination. Anything else is beyond their powers.
