Congresswoman blocked from touring mail facility by Postal Service police

“If DeJoy thinks he can just throw a bed sheet over what’s going on behind these doors, he is sadly mistaken," the congresswoman said.

U.S. Postal Service police barred Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz from entering two mail sorting facilities in Florida in the early morning hours on Friday, threatening to escort her from the property if she didn't leave.

not giving congress people admittance to children being held in cages. This regime should be arrested.

First question: what gives the USPS any right to turn away a Congressional representative? I'd love to hear the answer to that question.

If the cops want to get paid, they better let her in. She should get names and badge numbers and eliminate their pay and position in the next appropriations bill.
