1. Democrats Are Close To Saving USPS By Passing Bipartisan Postal Reform Bill

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced that the Senate is close to passing the reform bill that will save the USPS.

Democrats have been working all week with Republicans to push the biggest Postal Reform bill in years over the finish line, and we are close. Today, we continue negotiations with the other side on their proposed list of amendments to the bill.

As we continue work on the deal, I filed cloture last night on the postal bill in order to keep momentum going. At the end of the day, the vast majority of Democrats and Republicans want to see this bill sent to the President’s desk quickly, so I hope we can arrive an agreement finish before the weekend.

I want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for their continued work: Chairman Peters and Ranking Member Portman. This postal reform bill has been a long time coming, and when passed it will ensure that tens of millions of Americans who rely on the Post Office every single day for medicines, Social Security checks, and other goods, can make sure that the Post Office remains in good hands and is strengthened.

I realize TrumPutin's war will take top billing, but DeJoy is helping to continue Putin's war on America while this is going on.
