House poised to approve $25B for Postal Service in rare Saturday vote
By Cristina Marcos and Mike Lillis - 08/22/20 07:17 AM EDT

The House will convene for a rare weekend session on Saturday to consider Democratic legislation that would prevent the U.S. Postal Service from making functional changes that could imperil delivery of mail-in ballots for the November elections.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced earlier this week that he would suspend cost-cutting measures until after the elections. But Democrats warn that it’s not enough and doesn’t reverse the moves already enacted that have resulted in mail delivery delays.

“These attempts to hurt the Postal Service and undermine our democracy must end,” House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said Friday.

No.  It will all go toward unions sympathetic to the Democrat party, so effectively giving to the Dems for elections.

Just because the House of Socialists passes it, does not mean the Senate or the president will....
