No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

She's 💯 right: "Anytime a person can pay $250 million into a campaign & be given full access to the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America, we are at war." Thank heavens somebody in elected office finally seems to have an accurate read on this crisis.
