House Democrats push forward with $25B Post Office bill, GOP dismisses rare Saturday vote as a 'joke'


“This president is on a warpath to destroy the postal service,” added Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis. The White House already threatened a veto of the bill saying the "USPS does not need a $25 billion bailout." Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., called the USPS vote a "theatrical moment" between the Democratic and GOP conventions that has no chance of becoming law. The House legislation would prohibit reducing service hours at postal facilities, decommissioning mail sorting machines and removing community mailboxes. The bill would also bar any limits on overtime pay, hiring freezes, delaying mail service and treating election mail as anything less than first-class mail.
