Hawley Launches Investigation into Failures at US Postal Service After Postmaster General Refused to Forego Bonuses - Josh Hawley
Position: Senator Hawley is launching a congressional investigation into U.S. Postal Service failures in Missouri, including mail delivery delays and abandoned mail, and is demanding accountability from USPS leadership regarding executive bonuses while service quality deteriorates.

WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) launched an investigation into the ongoing mail service failures plaguing Missouri, alongside potential criminal activity in abandoned mail and the alarming distribution of lavish bonuses to U.S. Postal Service (USPS) executives. The investigation follows Senator Hawley's questions to Postmaster General David Steiner in a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing last week, where he grilled Steiner on why he accepted a large bonus for himself while Missourians continue to suffer from untimely and undelivered mail.
The Postmaster General refused, both in the hearing and in subsequent communications, to return the bonus. Senator Hawley then launched an investigation, demanding documents and communications from the USPS to uncover the truth behind these practices and hold those responsible accountable.
Senator Hawley wrote, "I received your letter dated June 25, 2026, and I am disappointed that your response to our exchange at a recent committee hearing was to shift blame rather than focus on solutions. You also failed to address the concerning issue of massive bonuses for Postmasters General and executives at the United States Postal Service (USPS). As a member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which has jurisdiction over USPS, and as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism, which has jurisdiction over postal crimes, my office is launching a new congressional investigation into systematic service failures in Missouri, possible criminal activity, and bonuses for executives at USPS."
Senator Hawley continued by highlighting several instances where the USPS has failed to serve the people of Missouri effectively. The Senator cited examples such as the mountain of mail found in North St. Louis City in April 2026 and the several audits conducted by the USPS Office of Inspector General (OIG), which showed that millions of pieces of mail were delayed at important service centers in St. Louis and Kansas City.
Senator Hawley concluded, "At the same time, you and your executive team are receiving payouts that make you some of the highest paid federal employees. Even a cursory look at public filings reveals millions in non-salary compensation provided to you and your predecessors over the past 10 years, with other senior leadership raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional compensation per year. At the same time, public reports suggest you have retained restructuring consultants from a top-dollar New York firm, no doubt scouring for costs to cut. Your bonus should be an easy place to start. You seem to operate under the misapprehension that you are entitled to some kind of special deference. In fact, it’s the people of Missouri that are entitled to something: you doing your job."

Dear Postmaster General Steiner:
I received your June 25, 2026 letter. I am disappointed that your response to our exchange at a recent committee hearing was to shift blame rather than actually provide answers. You also failed to address the concerning issue of massive bonuses that you and other executives at the United States Postal Service (USPS) have received. As a member of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, which has jurisdiction over USPS, and as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee on Crime, which has jurisdiction over postal crimes, my office is launching a new congressional investigation into systematic service failures in Missouri, possible criminal activity, and bonuses for executives at USPS.
When I showed you the photograph of thousands of pieces of dumped mail discovered in North St. Louis on April 29, 2026, you testified: “This is the first time I’ve heard about it.” When I pressed you on the broader collapse of service in my state, you asked me, “what mail?” It is unbelievable to me that this episode—subject of major press coverage and apparent criminal activity affecting thousands of residents—did not reach your desk by the time of our Senate hearing, given that your offices fielded inquiries from congressional staff.
This is just one example. Missouri has been saddled with poor service for years. When I asked the Inspector General last year to audit the St. Louis distribution center, she told me it was the worst case of failed on-time delivery they had seen in field operations reviews. Another recent audit for Kansas City found that there were nearly 100,000 delayed pieces of mail over a three-day inspection. Your current on-time delivery targets mean that you can miss nearly one piece of mail in ten and still grade yourself a success—and in 2024 and 2025 you were hitting even that low bar in Missouri only about 76 percent of the time. Despite your claims of recent improvements, my office continues to field a constant stream of constituent complaints about protracted delays and major service problems. This includes chronic delivery challenges in rural Missouri, which continues to suffer the downstream effects of the Regional Transportation Optimization (RTO) Plan, which I requested you fully terminate in my letter to you of August 5, 2025.
At the same time, you and your executive team are receiving payouts that make you some of the highest paid federal employees. Even a cursory look at public filings reveals millions in non-salary compensation provided to you and your predecessors over the past 10 years, with other senior leadership raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional compensation per year. At the same time, public reports suggest you have retained restructuring consultants from a top-dollar New York firm, no doubt scouring for costs to cut. Your bonus should be an easy place to start. You seem to operate under the misapprehension that you are entitled to some kind of special deference. In fact, it’s the people of Missouri that are entitled to something: you doing your job.
So that Congress can consider remedial action, please provide the documents, communications, and written responses identified in Annex I below to my office by no later than July 15, 2026.
Hawley Addresses Teamsters Convention: 'It's Time We Stood For What Is Right In America' - Josh Hawley
Position: Senator Hawley argues that corporations have prioritized profit over workers' welfare and that the economy should be reformed to prioritize working families, wages, and community stability over corporate profits. He praises labor unions for building the American economy and advocates for policies that protect workers' ability to earn a living wage and support their families.
For information about Senator Hawley’s new RECA law to compensate Missourians, click here.
U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) addressed the Teamsters International Convention, emphasizing how America's corporations have forgotten right and wrong and placed profit over everyday American workers. Senator Hawley praised the Teamsters for the organization’s role in building the great American economy and its focus on working men and women.This comes after Senator Hawley's Faster Labor Contracts Act passed the House of Representatives.
Senator Hawley stated, "The big challenge that we've got today in the United States of America, the big challenge we've got in the economy in America today, is that too many of the people who run the mega corporations have forgotten right from wrong. They've lost their moral compass and we need to help them find it again. These people who sit in the C suite these days, and too many people in Washington, DC, they've forgotten what built this country. This country was built on right and wrong. We built the greatest economy in the history of the world, the most prosperous economy in the history of the world, and I'll say, the most just economy in the history of the world. Why? Because it honored the working person and gave him what he earned. It gave you what you deserved. In this country, you could get married, buy a house, support a family if you got a job and played by the rules. That's what's right and wrong. That's what this country was built on, and that's what we need to get back to in the United States of America today."
"The great American economy didn't just spring into being. We had to build it. More specifically, you built it, Teamsters built it since 1903 your first conference in Niagara Falls, New York. Since that time, you have been fighting for what is right. You've been standing up for the working person and their families. You've been going to bat for those who didn't have a voice…You were born to change the economy in this country, so that a working person could make ends meet, could have a life, could raise a family. And you didn't just fight, and you didn't just try. You succeeded. You built the great American economy, and now it's time we stood and defended it," he continued.
He stated, "There's no amount of profit that justifies the destruction of working families, that justifies treating workers like they're disposable, that justifies destroying whole working communities. No amount of profit will justify that… because there are some things in this life that are more important than profit. This is America, and we know what they are. In America, we believe in that life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, work and home, family, God, country, and all of those things are more important than profit, and it's time that we reminded the people of the C suite of what is what. It's time we reminded them of right and wrong."
Senator Hawley concluded, "This country is built on a promise that if you give a working person a shot and if you give him his liberty under God, there's no telling what he can do. And we've got a lot of challenges that face us now as a country, but I don't know about you. I'm pretty optimistic, because when I look back at the history of the Teamsters, I see we've done it before. We've saved this country, we've saved this economy before, we can do it again. You've been fighting for that great promise, the one my grandfather fought for, and lives and cherishes so much. You've been fighting for that for 123 years, since that first convention in Niagara Falls. And I'm pretty convinced to this, that if the Teamsters are around and strong for another 123 years, I bet America to be around and strong for another 250."

Hawley Introduces Groundbreaking Legislation to Fund Rural Hospitals, Ensure Access to Emergency Care - Josh Hawley
Position: Senator Hawley introduces legislation to provide 10 years of dedicated federal funding to rural hospital emergency departments to prevent closures and ensure access to emergency care in rural communities.
For information about Senator Hawley’s new RECA law to compensate Missourians, click here.
WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) held a press conference to introduce the Rural Hospital Emergency Room Guarantee Act, which would ensure Americans living in rural areas have access to top-notch and close-to-home healthcare. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) joins him as a lead cosponsor of this legislation. Nearly 200 rural hospitals have shut their doors since 2005, leaving millions stranded in the face of potential health emergencies. Senator Hawley's bill would prevent further closures.
"Americans in rural communities across the country are confronted with a concerning shortage of access to emergency medical care. In Missouri alone, 12 rural hospitals with emergency rooms have closed in as many years, and those that remain open are struggling to keep the lights on. Congress must act swiftly to protect the necessary emergency care hardworking rural families deserve," said Senator Hawley.
“In an emergency, every minute can feel like an hour. As more rural hospitals close their doors, Americans living in rural communities have to drive further and further to get care in a crisis,” said Senator Hassan. “This bipartisan legislation provides federal funding directly to rural emergency rooms, helping them keep their doors open and also preserving these lifelines for millions of Americans living in rural communities nationwide.”
Since 2014, Missouri has lost more than a dozen rural hospitals, and the rural hospitals that can continue to operate are hanging on by a thread. Nearly half of Missouri’s existing rural hospitals currently operate at a loss and are at risk of closing.
Most concerningly, one recent report concluded that nearly 20% of the rural hospitals in Missouri—accounting for at least 10 hospitals—are at immediate risk of closure. Senator Hawley’s new legislation would create the Rural Hospital Emergency Department Guarantee, which would provide 10 years of dedicated funding to keep emergency rooms in rural communities operational.
The Rural Hospital Emergency Room Guarantee Act will:

Hawley Demands Answers from MLB for Penalizing Christian Players - Josh Hawley
Position: Senator Hawley contends that Major League Baseball is discriminating against Christian players by warning pitchers for displaying Bible verses on their caps while permitting and promoting progressive political messages, and demands the organization answer for this alleged pattern of anti-Christian bias.
For information about Senator Hawley’s new RECA law to compensate Missourians, click here.
WASHINGTON — Today, U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner Robert Manfred in response to the MLB's warning to San Francisco Giants pitchers for referencing Bible verses on their caps during the team's "Pride Night." Senator Hawley is demanding MLB answer for its apparent pattern of discriminating against Christians while promoting left-wing ideologies.
Senator Hawley wrote, "I write with grave concern over your reported decision to issue a formal warning to three Major League Baseball (MLB) players for publicly expressing their Christian faith. This follows a high-profile undercover investigation that revealed at least one MLB team discriminated against a player based on his Catholic faith. You must answer for what appears to be a pattern of discrimination within MLB against baseball players who profess their Christian faith."
"At a recent baseball game, multiple pitchers for the San Francisco Giants wrote Bible verse references on their caps at a game where players were issued rainbow-patterned hats for “Pride Night.” These verses quote from Genesis 9, which describes God’s design of the rainbow as a sign of His covenant with creation following the flood. For this, your organization has reportedly issued warnings to these players. MLB has said this is a content-neutral policy and that MLB “respect[s] players’ right to free expression.” But this is dubious, given that MLB is openly promoting a political viewpoint and possibly compelling adherence to that viewpoint," he continued.
The Senator said, "The league’s claim that it merely forbids “writing of any kind” on its uniforms does not survive a cursory review of the league’s recent history. In 2020, MLB itself turned its uniforms and its fields into a billboard for political and social messages. It created jersey patches reading “Black Lives Matter” and “United for Change.” It authorized “BLM” to be stenciled onto pitching mounds. And it suspended its own equipment rules so that players could display progressive political slogans on their cleats. The league went beyond tolerating speech—it designed speech, promoted speech, and shoehorned social and political messages into the game broadcast to millions of Americans. Yet when three players added a handful of characters citing the Book of Genesis to their caps, the league reached for its rulebook."
Senator Hawley concluded, "This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Your organization’s recent action follows an undercover investigation which revealed an admission from a Washington Nationals executive that a Catholic player on the team was not included in promotional materials for the team because of his faith. That executive has since been fired, but not before the anti-Christian bigotry was exposed…The freedom to live out one’s faith does not end at the ballpark gate. Americans of every creed are entitled to confidence that the institutions of our national pastime will not single out religious expression for punishment while celebrating messages of the league’s own choosing. I trust the league shares that commitment, and I look forward to your prompt and complete response."

I write with grave concern over your reported decision to issue a formal warning to three Major League Baseball (MLB) players for publicly expressing their Christian faith. This follows a high-profile undercover investigation that revealed at least one MLB team discriminated against a player based on his Catholic faith.

Your organization’s recent action follows an undercover investigation which revealed an admission from a Washington Nationals executive that a Catholic player on the team was not included in promotional materials for the team because of his faith. That executive has since been fired, but not before the anti-Christian bigotry was exposed.
My concern is sharpened by the singular legal position that Major League Baseball occupies. Alone among America’s professional sports leagues, baseball enjoys a sweeping, judicially manufactured exemption from the federal antitrust laws—a privilege the Senate Judiciary Committee has examined with bipartisan skepticism in recent years. A league that benefits from such an extraordinary dispensation owes the public a corresponding measure of accountability, and it invites the closest scrutiny when it appears to wield its market power to punish Americans for their beliefs. That exemption, in any event, has never been understood to shield the league from its legal obligation not to discriminate against its employees on the basis of religion.
To assist my review of these matters, please respond to the following requests by no later than June 19, 2026:
The freedom to live out one’s faith does not end at the ballpark gate. Americans of every creed are entitled to confidence that the institutions of our national pastime will not single out religious expression for punishment while celebrating messages of the league’s own choosing.

'Transgender Madness': Hawley Calls for Investigation into Planned Parenthood Medicare and Medicaid Fraud - Josh Hawley
Position: Senator Hawley calls for an investigation into Planned Parenthood's use of Medicare and Medicaid funds, arguing that the organization's provision of gender-affirming care to minors constitutes misuse of federal healthcare program dollars intended for basic medical needs.
For information about Senator Hawley’s new RECA law to compensate Missourians, click here.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, urging him to investigate Planned Parenthood and its role in pushing transgender ideology onto children. This letter comes after Senator Hawley's effort to renew the ban on Planned Parenthood receiving federal Medicaid payments.
"I appreciate your focus on combatting fraud in our nation’s healthcare programs and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being used for their lawful, intended purposes. As you continue work to uncover fraud in the Medicaid and Medicare programs, I urge you to direct your investigative efforts toward Planned Parenthood and its role in pushing transgender madness onto minor children," Senator Hawley wrote.
He continued, "As you well know, the Medicaid and Medicare programs were designed to help needy and older Americans afford basic healthcare. But Planned Parenthood has benefitted immensely from these programs: the Government Accountability Office found that Planned Parenthood and its affiliates received more than $1.5 billion in Medicaid and Medicare payments in a 3-year period. In other words, billions of taxpayer dollars have been taken from those in poverty and the elderly and given to Planned Parenthood."
Senator Hawley stated, "Moreover, these funds apparently have been used to prop up Planned Parenthood’s provision of transgender procedures to children. The organization openly advertises that it provides sex-change drugs and refers for transgender surgeries. According to one recent report, Planned Parenthood’s provision of this so-called “gender-affirming care” has exploded—with a 40% year-over-year increase. Public reporting clearly shows that these “services” are provided to minors. Undercover investigations have revealed that numerous Planned Parenthood facilities would prescribe sex-change drugs to a minor at the first appointment, without any medical documentation whatsoever. The organization has even exploited legal loopholes to provide these dangerous and irreversible gender-transition drugs to minors without their parents’ consent. This is unconscionable."
He concluded, "In the absence of congressional action, you have an opportunity to expand your fraud investigation by probing Planned Parenthood’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The organization’s transgender activities appear at the least to subvert Congress’s intent to direct Medicaid and Medicare funds to basic healthcare needs. They may also violate regulations governing how these dollars may be spent and fail to comply with Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement rules. I therefore urge you to act to ensure Planned Parenthood cannot defraud our nation’s healthcare programs."

I appreciate your focus on combatting fraud in our nation’s healthcare programs and ensuring that taxpayer dollars are being used for their lawful, intended purposes. As you continue work to uncover fraud in the Medicaid and Medicare programs, I urge you to direct your investigative efforts toward Planned Parenthood and its role in pushing transgender madness onto minor children.

The organization has even exploited legal loopholes to provide these dangerous and irreversible gender-transition drugs to minors without their parents’ consent. This is unconscionable.
I am concerned that critical healthcare dollars are flowing to an organization that promotes transgender treatments on minors. Unfortunately, Congress has failed to renew a ban on Planned Parenthood receiving federal Medicaid payments. Those payments are set to resume in less than one month without any legislative effort to prevent it. This would be a grave error.
In the absence of congressional action, you have an opportunity to expand your fraud investigation by probing Planned Parenthood’s compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The organization’s transgender activities appear at the least to subvert Congress’s intent to direct Medicaid and Medicare funds to basic healthcare needs. They may also violate regulations governing how these dollars may be spent and fail to comply with Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement rules. I therefore urge you to act to ensure Planned Parenthood cannot defraud our nation’s healthcare programs.
