Why did Nancy put funds for the USPS into the aid bill?

USPS has been hit hard by Corona. If other business get aid, I'm not sure why a service that's been around longer and more needed doesn't get some help.

Trump already appointed a postmaster general with ties to UPS and FedEx to hold up mail, which is happening nationwide.

Holding back stimulus because he's worried about his election is terrible

Then introduce a stand alone piece of legislation instead of tying it to an aid bill. Or is mail in voting (the election) more important than corona virus relief?

According to Trump, it is more important. He's pretty much saying that.

Republican congress would never approve it because they will follow Trump's lead

He hates USPS because of the deal with Amazon. He claims USPS is losing money on that deal, which is false

It's really his hatred for the Washington Post and Jeff Bezos. That's the root of this...

So your objection is Trump and not the fact Nancy included in the relief bill for the exact same reason as why Trump opposes it and they are both playing games with relief.

I guess if you believe the myth that mail in voting is full of fraud then you might see it that way.

While there are cases of it, it's not anywhere close to what Trump would have you believe

My bad. They stayed until the 11th of August. Took August 1-3 off for "district work periods" came back for August 7-11 and back at "district work periods" until September 8th.

Which is why Trumps EO's were nessacery, but I expect they will be held up in court for awhile

I guess they believe most mail in voting areas are mostly democrats. I've read articles where Republicans benefited too though

Also
Dems have always have always supported the post office.

I know how you feel about this but I'll say it anyway. Post office is union heavy. The postal unions have always endorsed the Dem candidate.
