The Senate just passed House legislation that will completely overhaul the United States Postal Service and put it on a secure footing for years to come.
After Trump-appointed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy released plans representing the largest consumer rollback of USPS services in the agency’s history, Congress responded with a vigorous pushback that will protect the Postal Service for generations.
DeJoy will no longer be able to carry out his internal sabotage campaign and will be prohibited from cutting service days. Our legislation will mandate delivery 6 days a week. And no longer will the Post Office have to pre-fund retirement benefits for its employees, a unique Bush-era requirement only applied to that agency, that opponents (including DeJoy) have used to falsely claim the Post Office was losing money and on the verge of bankruptcy.
There is just one step remaining — President Biden signing this legislation into law.

It has been a long, ugly fight to stop DeJoy’s assault on the Post Office. And we’ve nearly won. There’s just one more step to take. Or maybe two — the next is finally seeing DeJoy fired. More to come.
Thanks for standing with us.
