Trump and his allies are amplifying their attacks on @USPS, using common misconceptions to justify their baseless and dangerous attacks on this essential service. Let me dispel some of these myths about the most popular government agency in the US: #SaveTheUSPS MYTH: USPS is funded by taxpayer dollars.

FACT: @USPS receives $0 tax dollars for operating expenses. It relies on the sale of postage, products, and services to fund its operations.

Millions of Oregonians rely on @usps every day. However, the economic impact of #covid19 has further crippled the agency, putting it at risk of closure by JUNE. So how can we #SaveThePostalService? First, Congress can pass my bipartisan bill, the USPS Fairness Act, that would end the requirement that @USPS workers pre-fund 75 years' worth of retiree health benefits—a requirement unique to the @USPS that has cost them billions each year.
