On August 24, the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee will host Postmaster General Louis DeJoy who will field questions including chained sorting machines and mailboxes pulled from streets.

But what about other issues that linger in Washington including the COVID stimulus package? President Trump commented on stimulus and the USPS before boarding Marine One.
