Speaker pelosi. The House Oversight committee grilling the trump official on the plot hes been backing away from. Mr. Dejoy is just doing exactly what President Trump said he wanted, blocking of funds to justify sweeping changes to hobble mailin voting. 53foot trucks forced to travel hundreds of miles completely empty, due to your socalled reforms. Thats not efficiency. Thats insanity. After 240 years of Patriotic Service delivering the mail, how can one person screw this up in just a few weeks .
