Appearing before the Subcommittee on Government Operations, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was grilled by Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-CA), who demanded answers about working conditions for postal employees.

She cited DeJoy's report, saying the "635,000 postal employees" are "at the heart" of the USPS. She noted that it also says that the Postal Service is "investing more in the employees and the facilities they're working in."

Donald Trump's handpicked postmaster, Louis DeJoy, is still in office, and now he's angering the members of the far right.

At the hearing with the Subcommittee on Government Operations, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) complained that people in her district don't get their mail in a reasonable amount of time. DeJoy countered that a very high percentage of Americans in rural and urban areas get first-class mail in three to five days.

The cruelty is the point, New York Times editorial board member David Firestone said about the House Republicans' demands in budget negotiations.

"It’s not that there is some crisis or scandal gripping those federal programs; Republicans are making these demands simply because the debt ceiling gives them the opportunity to do so," he explained. "And they are going after the same group of people their party has demonized for decades."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced the impeachment of Christopher Wray, who was appointed by then-President Donald Trump after he fired James Comey.

Greene announced the impeachment along with the U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C., Matthew Graves, with whom Greene is angry over the prosecutions of those who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, and the lack of arrests around other D.C. matters. According to Graves, 67 percent of those who were arrested by the city were not prosecuted, The Washington Post reported in March.

A legal expert said Tuesday that the Department of Justice is likely interested in new allegations that Rudy Giuliani had offered to sell pardons while he was working in Donald Trump's administration

United States national security advisor Jake Sullivan had a break-in at his home in the West End neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

The Arizona Democratic Party is ready to move forward with its primary election for the 2024 U.S. Senate race. There's just one problem: the state Democrats have no idea if President Joe Biden or DSCC chief, Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), are going to step in and support the Independent candidate Kyrsten Sinema against the Democrat, The Messenger reported Tuesday.

"It is frustrating, and that is one of the reasons we wanted this vote to take place. We wanted the national Democrats (to know) that even in Sinema’s home state, the Democrats are opposed to her," said state party vice chair Deydrek Scott.

Former special counsel John Durham released his final report Monday after a four-year investigation of the FBI's probe into allegations of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

Durham alleged that the FBI and Justice Department had displayed a double standard in how they investigated Trump and Hillary Clinton.

The co-hosts of "The View" brought up the recently filed lawsuit from a former employee of Rudy Giuliani's that alleges sexual harassment.

Former staffer Noelle Dunphy claims that she recorded many interactions between herself and Giuliani. Speaking to MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell Monday evening, her attorney, Justin Kelton, said that several witnesses could corroborate her allegations.

A new lawsuit was filed Monday against Rudy Giuliani alleging wage theft, sexual harassment, money laundering, selling of pardons, and a number of other accusations by former staffer Noelle Dunphy. Giuliani responded by saying that she had never worked for him.

"Now the lawsuit, to be clear, it's about Rudolph Giuliani as described, luring this woman, who he finds attractive into working for him, promising her to pay her a million dollars a year, which he can't pay her right now because he's trying to hide money from his wife while he's in divorce proceedings," described MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell during his Monday evening show. "And if she just waits until the divorce is over, which is way more than the year in the story that is told, then she will be paid retroactively all the money that she's owed."

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow honored a man on Monday who started a war of words against a group of white supremacists that were in Washington, D.C., over the weekend.

Joe Flood said that he saw reports about Patriot Front, a group that covers its face not with a white hood, but a white gaiter. They march in khaki pants and carry American flags on poles.
