46 states and the District of Columbia may be disqualified

Louis DeJoy wasted no time in following through with Trump's orders to destabilize the Postal Service -- all in the face of a global pandemic and in advance of the November elections. John: things are bad, and getting worse, in the U.S. Postal Service. The service reported today…

Two things that happened last night

Trump is terrified of the progressive movement that all of us have worked so hard to build together, and even more concerned that it is growing by day. John, Last night, on Fox News, Donald Trump talked about our primary race. He called Eliot Engel a "staple" and cited my prima…

[Petition] Remove Louis DeJoy from his post

My mom worked for the Postal Service for 33 years. On that salary, she raised me and my sisters in a rent-stabilized apartment. Taking away this essential service and the livelihoods that come with it is unconscionable. John, The United States Postal Service is currently at gre…
