1:20:32Now PlayingThe Damage Report host John Iadarola is joined by Jason Carter, journalist, producer, television personality and host of #JASONUNLEASHED, to break down Thursday’s top stories.
The Trump administration doubles down on their efforts to sabotage the Postal Service. In comparing the US’s COVID-19 infection rates to other countries, Trump highlights the United States’ abject failure to control the virus. Although he publicly pushed the DOJ to investigate Joe Biden, Rudy Giuliani claims the US would turn into a “banana republic” if a President Biden were to pursue criminal charges against Trump. Trump calls into Fox to call AOC “a poor student” and Kamala Harris “a mad woman”. The DNC has given AOC a generous 60 seconds to speak at the DNC. Andrew Yang has been added to the speaker’s list after outcry. Whoever’s running the late Herman Cain’s twitter account is honoring his memory by tweeting out Biden attack ads.

"The head of the Iowa Postal Workers Union alleged Tuesday that mail sorting machines are "being removed" from Post Offices in her state due to new policies imposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, a major GOP donor to President Donald Trump whose operational changes have resulted in dramatic mail slowdowns across the nation.
Asked by NPR's Noel King whether she has felt the impact of DeJoy's changes, Iowa Postal Workers Union President Kimberly Karol—a 30-year Postal Service veteran—answered in the affirmative, saying "mail is beginning to pile up in our offices, and we're seeing equipment being removed."
"I don't see this as cost-saving measures. I see this as a way to undermine the public confidence in the mail service."
—Kimberly Karol, Iowa Postal Workers Union
Karol went on to specify that "equipment that we use to process mail for delivery"—including sorting machines—is being removed from Postal Service facilities in Iowa as DeJoy rushes ahead with policies that, according to critics, are sabotaging the Postal Service's day-to-day operations less than 90 days before an election that could hinge on mail-in ballots."
