We're making a difference but this is far from done. DeJoy has only paused because the people are holding him accountable. Keep the pressure up!

USPS head has no plans to replace sorting machines or reverse other Postal Service changes, Pelosi...

The Postal Service deferred comment to DeJoy's Tuesday statement, where he said he would stop changes but did not address their reversal.

Take a look at this chart. The share of the national income going to the super-rich was lowest when union membership peaked. As the capitalists crushed unions, the rich hoarded wealth and inequality exploded. To unrig the economy, we must build back a powerful labor movement.

Voters Want The USPS Funded As An Essential Service

The USPS provides good, union jobs that for many, especially Black Americans, provides a path to the middle class. It must be defended.

How does degrading USPS service standards to eliminate first-class 2-day delivery, thereby doubling or tripling delivery times, address existing service problems? The Postmaster General’s proposed solution to problems he created is surrender. Our @OversightDems hearing exchange:
