Speaker of the House Pelosi has called the House back into session to vote on a bill to stop changes to postal services.
LINK
This comes at a critical time for the GOP because the republican incumbents need to be home in their districts distancing themselves from Trump and all his nonsense if they have any hope of retaining their seats in congress. They are desperate to reach out to undecided voters and Pelosi is making it virtually impossible.
First, if they show up in Washington for the vote, that means many of them have to cancel critical and costly campaign events. If they don't show up, it will appear that they are in Trump's camp, wanting to kneecap the postal service before the election. Neither option is attractive for the GOP.
