  Bowers News Media How can you tell that Republicans are scared of losing the Senate? As my colleague Matt Kerbel wrote earlier this week on  Wolves And Sheep , the Substack associated with Bowers News Media,  just follow the money : Last week, the  Senate Leadership Fund , a major Republican super PAC, announced it was spending $342 million on eight Senate races. That’s one-third of a billion dollars—on eight races. (...) New Hampshire, Georgia and Michigan are seats held by Democrats. That’s $106 million for offense. The remaining five states are held by Republicans. That’s $235 million for defense.

  Save the Post Office from Privatization! Tell Congress: Reverse Bad Postal Policy to Stop USPS from Going Broke Now! The United States Postal Service is being pushed toward a financial breaking point that could cause it to run out of cash as soon as February of next year, and only Congress can fix it. The Postmaster General has warned that the current financial crisis at USPS could “lead to the end of the Postal Service as we know it” if lawmakers fail to act. This crisis did not come out of nowhere. It is the result of years of bad postal policy decisions that drained billions from the Postal Service and tied its hands. Donald Trump and his greedy corporate buddies would love to see a privatized Postal Service.  They want to throw entire communities under the bus, outsource delivery, and sell the post office off piecemeal to make millions.  We cannot allow that to happen.  It would mean higher costs for families, the risk of service shutdowns for rural communities...
