Easy way to keep up with what the House Oversight Committee is doing about the USPS:

A resource for those who aren't clear on what the Committee had been doing, or their announcments and statements concerning the situation with the USPS - their website. It appears they are interviewing people, making statements, drafting legislative action, and gathering information. After all, one can't have hearings if one doesn't know what to grill the offenders on...

And are demanding that Pelosi "unleash" as though they have been doing nothing... and neither has she.

And people also don't seem to know that you don't start with hearings, you gather information first (like you see them doing on the Commitee webpage, so you know questions to ask in a hearing, and not get slammed for not having your shit together by the same people who think that you should have HEARINGS RIGHT NOW !!

"Do nothing Democrats" is a right wing talking point. Folks need to nail down the facts rather than spread the nonsense that Pelosi and her caucus are MIA.

that he has to do little to nothing to foment that sort of circular firing squad.

There is some real hatred of Madame Speaker, despite her skill and track record.
