As with reproductive rights, the GOP has been quietly undermining USPS for decades but has shied away from unpopular direct assaults. Things have changed.

GOP lawmaker @RepKinzinger has a message about QAnon: It is a fabrication that must be denounced by leaders in his party.— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) August 16, 2020
He's pairing that message with one that's equally important: "If you know someone who buys into these theories, don't hate them." https://t.co/tYGzOTYwZg

Anthony fell on hard times — and became homeless, but he always had his good boy “Bobo” by his side. When Bobo disappeared, Anthony searched for him to no avail for weeks. But eventually found him at the local shelter. Here’s the reunion.— Rex Chapman🏇🏼 (@RexChapman) August 15, 2020
