Summary

Trump and Mark Meadows are openly blocking that legislation because it contains funding for the Post Office, and Trump has now explicitly threatened to veto any legislation that increases funding for the Post Office.

Thom speaks with Ben Tyson, Co-Founder, Vote From Home 2020, a progressive organizing initiative that sends vote-by-mail applications to swing-state voters and runs a virtual chase campaign to make sure they vote.
