The Administration made operational USPS changes and big declines in service followed, but House Republicans are opposing fixes for the US Postal Service today because they claim it's all a "conspiracy theory." They just can't agree on the conspiracy.

This is just ridiculous @HouseGOP. If you want people to think something is an "unfounded conspiracy theory" next time try advising the President and your Members not to admit to the conspiracy. #RepublicansInDisarray 7/7
