Since Senator McConnell and Senate Republicans found billions of dollars to pay for fighter jets and unnecessary corporate giveaways in their recently introduced \u201cHEALS Act,\u201d Senate Republicans can surely make modest investments in the USPS so it can continue to fulfill its mission and deliver time-sensitive ballots during an election year.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cPresident Trump and Postmaster General DeJoy\u2019s continued attempts to try to rig the election by undermining the USPS received a strong bipartisan warning today: don\u2019t mess with the USPS.
