With so much going, it not surprising, but the USPS needs help. Delays in delivery are impacting businesses and citizens. #USPS – at Lakeside, VA

Love is more powerful than hate. Hope is more powerful than fear. Light is more powerful than darkness. This is our moment. This is our mission.

I wanted to provide a quick update — the House just passed the Delivering for America Act, legislation that will safeguard the #USPS. This is a vital step in protecting the Postal Service that so many #VA07 seniors, veterans, small business owners, and farmers depend on.

President Trump isn't hiding his efforts to kneecap @USPS to swing the election his way. We can't allow him to undercut our democracy. 1. Postmaster General DeJoy must resign. 2. @SenateGOP must pass the Heroes Act, which will help protect @USPS. nytimes.com/2020/08/13/us/po…

The President & his cronies are trying to erode trust that our voice will be heard on election day because he fears our verdict on his failure on the coronavirus & more. But our heroic postal workers will honor our Constitution & continue to deliver for us. #SaveThePostOffice

The differences between Democrats’ plan to combat the coronavirus & the meager proposals presented by the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress could not be more stark. #FamiliesFirst

If @KamalaHarris and I are elected, we’re going to inherit multiple crises, a nation divided, and a world in disarray. We won’t have a minute to waste. That's exactly why I picked her: She's ready to lead on day one.

People are losing their homes. Millions have already lost their paychecks. Our country is in crisis. The virus isn’t taking a break — Republicans shouldn’t either. The House did their job. President Trump, bring the Senate back and pass a relief bill. Now.

The military votes by mail. Many Members of Congress vote by mail. The President and Vice President both voted by mail in 2018. If it's OK for them, why not for other Americans? Every citizen has a right to safely participate in our democratic process. washingtonpost.com/politics/…

We will not let Trump sabotage our Postal Service or destroy our democracy.

This morning, little girls woke up across this nation — especially Black and Brown girls who so often may feel overlooked and undervalued in our society — potentially seeing themselves in a new way: As the stuff of Presidents and Vice Presidents.

Today I'm highlighting several of my priorities for the upcoming special session of the General Assembly, which is set to begin next Tuesday, August 18th. Virginians are hurting right now—and the Commonwealth is stepping up.

Let it be noted that they're not just turning them off, or deciding to use them less, or unplugging them -- they're *removing them* from these processing centers. It makes no sense at all as cost-cutting. This is just sabotage.
Postal workers are sounding the alarm as mail sorting machines are removed from processing facilities news.yahoo.com/postal-worker…

Today @realDonaldTrump removed all pretense: he’s attacking @USPS intentionally to sabotage voting by mail because he’s afraid he’s going to lose. We can’t be discouraged by this constant barrage of Trump attacks on our democracy. We have to keep fighting back.

Trump inherited the longest economic expansion in history from @BarackObama and @JoeBiden. And then, like everything else he inherited, he ran it straight into the ground.

How soon will the Inspector General of Postal Service be fired? Same question for IG of GAO? Ig of DHS?
