Let’s turn Trump’s USPS disruption into a massive defeat for him
Trump publicly said he wants to disembowel the USPS to stop mail-in and absentee voting. It’s blowing up in his face, and is now a huge nationwide story. People and Congress are mobilizing. We can turn this around and make it a humiliating defeat for Trump. The following tweets have talking points and ways to take action. Fight back now. Mobilize.
Do not waste time bemoaning the situation or anguishing that maybe Trump could somehow do better. He can’t. There is no bottom with him. He must be defeated on November 3. His USPS slowdown is a perfect organizing opportunity to hurt him prior to the election.
“The editorial board of the Wall Street Journal is trying to blow off the attack on the USPS as no biggie, but despite their heroic effort at turd polishing, it is the dominant political story of the weekend.” — @SykesCharlie

Medications
Retired people and those in rural areas often rely on USPS to get their meds. Trump’s interference is slowing delivery of medications, endangering lives. I live in Nevada. There are tiny towns here in remote rural areas that do not have pharmacies. USPS is the only way they get meds.
