I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. The Democratic Caucus--and I see that now we have all three of the leaders of that caucus that I am so proud to be a member of. Madam Speaker, my daughter is a childcare worker. She works in a…

Unfortunately, under the leadership of Postmaster DeJoy, what we have seen is a beloved agency that has become mired in corruption and mismanagement.
