Democratic
leaders on Capitol Hill told negotiators for President Trump on
Wednesday that preserving funding for the U.S. Postal Service and
removing new rules that have slowed delivery times are essential

Schumer said he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told DeJoy,
along with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and White House Chief of
Staff Mark Meadows, that their demands regarding the Postal Service are
necessary to striking a deal on broader relief bill that may also
include new unemployment benefits and a payroll tax cut.
The sabotage of the USPS must be stopped. This is the only way to leverage that outcome before even more damage is done to the USPS and a free and fair election.
