Mike Johnson swore in Matt Van Epps 2 days after he won a special election. Adelita Grijalva had to wait months. That's why I say Democrats should gerrymander every single district they can. Republicans don't follow rules or norms. Just ask McConnell re: the Supreme Court.

The USPS needs to once again be able to offer basic banking and other services.
And it needs the full-throated support of Americans and their elected leaders.
