We have to maintain our support, strong support.

He described some of those conversations that you initiated with him as, from his perspective, bullying.

They have the responsibility to identify areas of waste, fraud, and abuse.

The emergency was Congress might actually look at these arms sales and reach a different conclusion.

There is nothing in there that says the executive branch can ignore congressional prerogatives.

The emergency is that Congress might prevent the Administration from doing what it wants.

If low morale is reason for someone to be fired, look up, not down.

That's right. And, for the record, this committee of jurisdiction has an ethical obligation to examine charges that may be made about somebody who has a responsibility for running one of the largest enterprises in the country.

Those are the things we should be discussing. We should be discussing how we work together across the aisle to make sure that those things are accomplished.

I just wanted to make that point, because there was--Mr. Comer mentioned in our last hearing, where was the Democratic outrage then? Actually, there was a ton of it, and I was here for that, and it was on a bipartisan basis.

Why didn't DeJoy do his job and present to us his plan for a comprehensive reform of the Postal Service?

A sharp decline in service since week 41

But we should also be, and what I thought we were looking at, was making sure that the United States Postal Service provides the good service that they do for a very, very long period.
