During a Senate hearing Friday, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy explained the operational changes the USPS has made in his time with the agency, adding that he believes the post office will be able to handle increased mail-in voting during the 2020 election."As we head into the election season, I want to assure this committee and the American public that the Postal Service is fully capable and committed to delivering the nation’s election mail securely and on-time," DeJoy said in his opening statement. "This sacred duty is my number one priority between now and election day."Concerning various reports from across the country about distribution centers dismantling mail sorting machines, DeJoy explained that such machines weren't needed and were only operating at about 35 percent capacity. DeJoy added that the machines were removed because they will be replaced with machines that sort packages, as the USPS has seen a decrease in mail delivery and an increase in package delivery.DeJoy did confirm that the USPS has attempted to cut out extra trips by mail carriers, which employees have said have led to significant delays in mail delivery.DeJoy also testified that he hadn't had conversations with Trump administration officials about the USPS' impact on the 2020 general election.DeJoy used his opening statements to urge Congress to adopt legislation that would make changes to USPS' crippling pension system."This year, the Postal Service will likely report a loss of more than billion dollars. Without change, our losses will only increase in the years to come," DeJoy said. "It is vital that Congress enact reform legislation that addresses our unaffordable retirement payments. Most importantly, Congress must allow the Postal Service to integrate our retiree health benefits program with Medicare, which is a common-sense practice followed by all businesses that still offer retiree health care. It must also rationalize our pension funding payments."President Donald Trump has praised the new head of the Postal Service, a Republican donor and ally. But Democrats warn DeJoy’s cost-cutting initiatives since arriving in June are causing an upheaval that threatens the election. Trump raised the stakes by saying he wants to block agency funds to make it harder for the Postal Service to handle the expected surge of mail-in ballots during the COVID-19 crisis.Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, gaveled open the session dismissing the “false political narrative” that DeJoy is trying to “sabotage” the election.“It is Postmaster DeJoy’s commendable attempt to reduce those excess costs that are now being cynically used to create this false political narrative,” the Wisconsin senator said.The morning hearing was held remotely as Congress is on recess and lawmakers have been conducting much of their business during the coronavirus outbreak in virtual settings.It’s unclear if Sen. Kamala Harris of California, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will be among those beaming into the session as the week-long Democratic National Convention comes to a close.The outcry over mail delays and warnings of political interference have put the Postal Service at the center of the nation’s tumultuous election year, with Americans rallying around one of the nation’s oldest and more popular institutions.With mounting pressure, DeJoy abruptly reversed course this week, vowing to postpone any further changes until after the election, saying he wanted to avoid even the “perception” of any interference. Blue mailboxes were being been removed, back-of-shop sorting equipment shutdown and overtime hours kept in check.But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said DeJoy told her in a subsequent phone call he had no intention of restoring the equipment.An internal directive to postal staff said, “They are not to reconnect/reinstall machines,” according to an email obtained by The Associated Press.House Democrats are pushing ahead with a rare Saturday session to pass legislation that would prohibit the actions and send billion to shore up postal operations. Some 20 states, along with voting rights advocates, have sued to reverse the changes.During an interview Thursday on Washington Post Live, Pelosi said Republicans “have been after the post office for a while” as they try to run it more like a profitable business.“A business? No it’s a service,” Pelosi said.Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is eyeing a billion postal rescue as part of the next COVID-19 relief package.“The Post Office is not in trouble,” the GOP leader said Thursday during a home-state stop in Paducha, Ky. “We’re going to make sure that they are able to deliver our ballots on time.”The White House has said it would be open to more postal funding as part of a broader virus aid package.The Postal Service is struggling financially under a decline in mail volume, rising costs from the coronavirus pandemic and a rare, and some say cumbersome congressional requirement to fund in advance its retiree health care benefits.For many, the Postal Service provides a lifeline, sending not just cards and letters, but prescription drug delivery, financial statements and other items that are especially needed by mail during the pandemic.The choice of DeJoy to lead the service, the first postmaster general in nearly two decades who is not a career postal employee, is coming under increased scrutiny.The postal service board of governors, appointed by Trump, selected DeJoy in May to take the job. A GOP donor, he previously owned a logistics business that was a longtime Postal Service contractor. He maintains significant financial stakes in companies that do business or compete with the agency, raising conflict of interest questions.In a statement, the Postal Service said DeJoy has made all required financial disclosures but that he might have to divest some holdings if conflicts arise.Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said this week he has asked for an accounting of how DeJoy was selected, but was previously told by the board of governors some information remains confidential. Schumer said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin played a role in the process.David C. Williams, the former vice chairman of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors, on Thursday told lawmakers that he resigned from the board, in part, over DeJoy’s selection, and because he believed the White House was taking extraordinary steps to turn the independent agency into a “political tool.”He said, “I was convinced that its independent role had been marginalized.”Williams, who resigned in April, told members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus at an online forum that DeJoy “didn’t strike me as a serious candidate.”___Associated Press writer Bruce Schreiner in Frankfort, Ky., contributed to this report. 6882

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said on Wednesday that several states should consider moving back to Phase 1 in reopening due to increased coronavirus activity.Dr. Birx pointed to Arizona, Texas, California and Florida as states that are seeing a high prevalence of the coronavirus. This comes as intensive care units in Arizona and Florida are reaching capacity.Amid her pleas to the American people, she encouraged everyone to avoid participating in indoor gatherings, and dine outside rather than inside.“I think the work that these governors have done to — and ask the American people is it’s stop going to bars, to close the bars, to move to outdoor dining, to decrease indoor — any kind of indoor gatherings again,” Dr. Birx said. “To all of the Americans out there that are in these four states and the states that have — in the report, were in the red zone — because there’s a series of other states that we have in that zone — is really asking the American people in those counties and in those states — in those states to not only use the face coverings — not going to bars, not going to indoor dining — but really not gathering in homes either and decreasing those gatherings back down to our phase one recommendation, which was 10 or less.”During Thursday’s news conference with the White House’s coronavirus task force, Vice President Mike Pence said he believes the virus could be reaching its peak in hard-hit Arizona and Florida.“We’re actually seeing early indications of a percent of positive testing flattening in Arizona and Florida and Texas,” Pence said. “Governors in each of those states have taken strong steps to flatten the curve.”But data from Johns Hopkins University suggests the positivity rate is still going up. In Florida, the seven-day average of positive COVID-19 tests is at 18.7%, compared to just 4% a month ago. The rate of positive tests in Arizona is also up to 26.8%, up from around 11% this time a month ago.Given the spread, hospital officials in both states are preparing for “surge capacity” to make more ICU beds available to handle a possible influx of patients.Nationally, the rate of positive tests have increased in recent weeks, showing that the jump in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases is not just due to increased testing. Nearly 8% of COVID-19 tests are coming back positive, according to Johns Hopkins University data, up from 4.4% four weeks ago.Notably missing at Wednesday’s briefing was Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has vocalized concerns over US states reopening too quickly. 2581

During an interview with Stephen Colbert, former President Barack Obama expressed regret about not giving Dolly Parton a President Medal of Freedom.The “Late Show” host asked Obama why Parton doesn’t have a Medal of Freedom during a segment called “Questions we're pretty sure Barack Obama has never been asked before.”“That’s a mistake. I’m shocked,” Obama answered.Colbert jokingly asked if Obama realized that not giving the country icon the medal was the mistake that he made during his eight years in office.“Actually, that was a screwup. I’m surprised,” said the ex-president.Obama said he mistakenly assumed Parton already had one, but said he would reach out to President-elect Joe Biden to make things right.“She deserves one. I’ll call Biden,” said Obama.Along with a successful singing and acting career, Parton founded an reading program for kids called "Imagination Library" and recently, people have applauded the star for donating million for the development of a COVID-19 vaccine.During his time in the nation’s highest office, Obama presented the Medal of Freedom to many people. Some notable recipients include Ellen DeGeneres, Robert De Niro, Tom Hanks, Michael Jordan, Diana Ross, James Taylor and Stevie Wonder.Obama was on the CBS talk show to promote his new memoir, “A Promised Land,” in which he details his journey to the White House and what his first term was like. 1404
