Congress taking off for 38 days. That's 38 days of doing nothing about the Post Office destruction.

I did hear Hoyer say the House will hang around a few extra days until the Covid-19 bill is completed, but what about the freaking PO folks? This clown Trump has put in charge has to be stopped now! Come on Nancy, hearings need to begin now!

But does this mean no COVID relief until after Labor Day?

I hope this is just brinkmanship by Pelosi, calling Mitch’s bluff...

Hate to think how much damage he can do between now and the middle of September. Just look at what has happened the past few weeks.

Everyone, all at once. Camp out in front of their homes, pitch tents in their yards and tell them they let you lose your home so their place has plenty of room, looks like a nice place to camp out until they fix this shit.

Just a thought.

Both my one House Rep and one of the Senators live on the same city a few miles away, I might have to go sit in front of their homes for a day or so.
