Thomas R. Carper: “I was born to play third base for the Detroit Tigers. They had different ideas.”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.

I felt forever that there's actually revenues opportunities for the Postal Service through vote by mail.
