...leaders Pelosi and Schumer not settling for postmaster's half (assed) fixes:

SCOOPLET: In a meeting w/ Pelosi and Schumer on Aug. 5, Louis DeJoy offered to briefly suspend the operational changes affecting mail delivery, 2 sources told me. He offered to stop the changes 10 days before the election but Dems want them stopped now.

1. In other words, the damage is done and the fix is in.

3. this doesn't end it

...not the investigations, not the lawsuits, not the protests.

2. Make some noise. Get in good trouble. It works!

Bullies always back down when you punch them in the nose.

8. Only the squeaky wheels get the grease

so hell yeah, make some noise!

9. I think the protests at DeJoy's house got his attention

4. They need to make sure that the sorting machines he's removed are replaced. NOW.

He's lying. His offering to stop the changes 10 days before the election is the tell. Anyone who trusts this guy is a fool.

13. Exactly

Those are not simple machines. It’s mid august. Agreeing to reinstall them, locating them, shipping them back, reinsatlling and calibrating them all will take time.

Damage has already been done and as you say don’t trust that liar.

5. The motherfucker is lying.

[Champion Jack]

6. The damage he has done must be fixed

7. PRESSURE WORKS. We need to keep it up. N/T

[A HERETIC I AM]

10. Does that mean the restoration of overtime and the ability for expeditors to call in extra trailers?

Is he just stopping the removal of sorting equipment? Or does this mean carriers will be able to get empty, and get paid the OT for it, like they used to?

I've got a short trip at 6 PM to a PO that would likely be affected, so I'll see what I can see.

11. He's lying, he's a bastard, don't trust one word, keep the pressure ON.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Huh? Trump called his dog to heel?

[lettucebe]

14. So they plan to continue the dismantling right before Christmas? That may not sit well
