Pelosi weighs bringing House back early to address Postal Service crisis

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders are considering cutting short the August recess and bringing the chamber back into session to deal with the unfolding crisis at the U.S. Postal Service, according to Democratic sources.

The House could return to vote with the next two weeks, the Democratic sources suggested. The chamber is currently in recess, with no votes scheduled until the week of Sept. 14.

Pelosi and other top Democrats, including House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), discussed the possibility of returning early during an emergency leadership call Saturday afternoon.

Democrats are looking to address organizational issues at the Postal Service in the coming weeks, not to provide additional funding at this time, according to sources familiar with the discussion.

One option would be to vote on a modified version of a bill introduced by House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) earlier this week that would prohibit USPS from implementing a planned organizational overhaul that critics maintain would handicap mail-in voting.

Other top Democrats also floated addressing other issues, including expired federal unemployment benefits and voting rights. But Democratic sources said the immediate focus - at least for now - is preserving the Postal Service ahead of the election.

“Pecker puss Pelosi discovers that the Post office is the weak link in her plan to win by mail in voter fraud. Not complicated.”

Pelosi - crisis at the U.S. Postal Service

The rest of us who know the truth - her inability to get money to help them cheat in the elections this year.

BEDMINSTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. - The Democratic-run House on Sunday demanded that leaders of the U.S. Postal Service testify at an emergency oversight hearing Aug. 24 on mail delays as concerns grow that the Trump White House is trying to undermine the agency during the coronavirus pandemic while states expand mail-in voting options for the November presidential election.


August 24th? That would be a week from tomorrow. Meanwhile, the do-nothing GOP sleepwalks. Graham & Johnson slow walk their fake investigations. Lee schedules his hearing on big tech bias for September 15th, etc. One side wants to win here. The other does.

The Dems scheduled a hearing for 8 days from now and are getting back to work. It’s the do-nothing GOP Senate that is AWOL.

She won’t help the private sector, but she will the public sector.

Back in the Jimmy Carter days America ran out of oil. Well you could only buy gasoline when the last digit of your license plate was the same as the date, Even date, even plates buy. Odd date, odd plates buy. So simple.
Why not the same for mail delivery? Zip code is even you get mail on even dates. Odd zip code, odd days. Easy fix.

USPS should not be a substitute for a local polling judge. Sending out unsolicited mailin ballots is dumb. We still get mail for people who moved out of our house 24 years ago.

What crisis? Voters can simply go to the polls to vote. Even their guru, Dr Fauci, says he thinks in-person voting will be safe.

All of a sudden the Postal Service will be undated with millions of ballots and it's not a problem? Just look at what happens at Christmas.

Absentee is one thing. Mass mailings is a whole other mess which is ripe for fraud.

I remember leaving Seattle on a Sunday afternoon and I could only buy three bucks worth of gas. Got into the mountains and I could buy all I wanted.
