The House just passed a bill to provide $25 billion in emergency funding to USPS, but the White House has already threatened to veto it

Aug. 23 - The House of Representatives on Saturday passed legislation to provide $25 billion in emergency funding to the US Postal Service that will also roll back some of the controversial cost-cutting measures implemented by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.


 
The legislation passed 257 to 150 along party lines, with the support of members of the Democratic majority. Twenty-six Republicans voted in favor of it.

"...Trump has sought to cast early doubt on the integrity of the election, and bringing up Pelosi, who is deeply unpopular with many Republicans, appeared aimed at motivating his base to vote.
  
Although the speaker of the House is third in line for the presidency, it is unclear how Pelosi would assume the office in the event of a disputed election. Congress ultimately holds the power to decide which state electors to accept and resolve disputes. If no candidate wins a majority, the House selects a winner, but must choose from the top three vote-getters.

In a preview of what Republicans will argue at their own convention next week, Trump hammered at the law-and-order theme he has embraced in response to protests and unrest in many cities, including Portland, Oregon.

He said police had been weakened in 'Democrat-run' cities and cited a spike in murders in Chicago, Minneapolis, New York and Philadelphia. He urged Americans to turn back 'radical left socialists and Marxists.'
He called protesters in Portland 'crazy'."
