What To Watch

- DeJoy cleared a few things up in his Friday Senate testimony, but left many questions unanswered.
- Some of the things we'll be looking for answers on today include cuts to overtime, a new policy preventing postal workers from serving as ballot witnesses, details on decommissioned mail sorting machines, and other policies that contributed to the slowdown — such as requiring trucks to leave before the mail is read for them.
