Hakeem is investigating Postmaster General DeJoy

  John xxxxxx, In a Fox News interview, President Donald Trump finally admitted what his months-long smear campaign against the United States Postal Service (USPS) is really about: a blatant attempt to try and sabotage the election by withholding funds from the USPS. "Now they [USPS] need …

  Hello, Like the day he was born, I'll never forget the day Hakeem was first sworn into Congress. My husband Marland and I worked to raise Hakeem with a public service spirit, and I think it's safe to say that spirit stuck with him. Hakeem was born to serve his community. I belie…
