David Williams, former USPS Inspector General and former Vice Chair of the USPS Board of Governors testified that Mnuchin and the White House were behind the slowdown in mail. This is the exact opposite of what DeJoy said today under oath!

cbsnews.com/news/former-to…
Williams said he resigned "when it became clear to me that the administration was politicizing the Postal Service with the treasury secretary as the lead figure for the White House in that effort."
Williams: Trump "was determined that the Postal Service should inflict harm on Amazon delivery by sharply raising parcel shipping prices on everyone by 400% or more."
Mnuchin was also interested in labor agreements, postage pricing and volume discounts given to the likes of Amazon, UPS and FedEx.

"The Postal Service replied to early demands from the Secretary explaining that his demands were illegal, but the concerns were ignored."

McConnell adjourned the Senate until Sept 14. An entire month. No relief bill passed in the Senate. He wasn't even involved in negotiating one. He just left. With tens of millions not getting a $600 a week payment. He just left. With long lines at food banks. He just left.
"Last month, the US Census Bureau published polling showing almost 30 million Americans (about 12% of the 249 million respondents) said they did not have enough to eat at some point before July 21. About 5.4 million said they "often" didn't have sufficient food."

What does Trump want to be re-elected to do? He doesn’t do anything.
Literally all he does is watch cable TV, tweet crap and golf. And lie a damn lot. That is all in his 3 1/2 years.
He’s even stopped using “Keep America Great” - an admission he did not make it great it. He made America a shithole country and a laughing stock of the world.
