Pelosi Just Threw Down And Announced Democrats Will Wipe Out Louis DeJoy’s USPS Cuts
"The Postal Service needs smart, strong investments to ensure that it can continue to serve the American people in a timely and effective manner, particularly in our most remote and under-served communities.
The Congress will soon advance a robust infrastructure bill
to ensure that the Postal Service has the resources needed to serve the American people in a timely and effective manner.
We must deliver For The People."
Democrats aren’t just going to get rid of DeJoy, they are also going to save the Postal Service

They say the infrastructure act is for the summer, Biden can get rid of Dejoy a lot quicker

what an irony if Trump and DeJoy end up being the ones who ruined the carefully laid, decades long, bipartisan plan to defund and privatize the Post Office, by hobbling and wrecking it too obviously.
Biden nominates three to USPS board of governors as DeJoy testifies on mail crises
The White House moves to reassert control of the Postal Service as the postmaster general brushes off lawmakers’ calls to resign
If all three win Senate confirmation,
the nine-member board would be made up of equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans with McReynolds,
whose organization is a darling of left-leaning groups, as the lone independent.

can anybody find if the USPS board appointees need simple majority or 2/3 of Senate?
The Postal Service is running a 'covert operations program' that monitors Americans' social media posts
The law enforcement arm of the U.S. Postal Service has been quietly running a program that tracks and collects Americans’ social media posts, including those about planned protests,
The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the do ent describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.
“Locations and times have been identified for these protests, which are being distributed online across multiple social media platforms, to include right-wing leaning Parler and Telegram accounts.”

Yeah, Trump was everything the nutters wanted, and overplayed his hand, in the most lazy and spectacularly incompetant way possible.
The contrast that Democrats are going to be able to make in future elections will be obvious.
Vote for the Trump/Gaetz/Jordan/Greene crowd, or vote for sanity.
One of many ironies. They overplayed their hand at every turn and did things that ultimately hurt people. Shocker: that makes you unpopular.
I haven't read any of this thread but the USPS sucks. Whenever I've mailed out checks or tax statements with windowed envelopes, half never make it. Even security envelopes don't make it sometime. I've had to end up wiring money or FedEx several times with cancelling checks. Not to mention, the "postmen" that come pick up the mail without any kind of uniform or post office vehicle.
The post office sucks.
unfortunately, that would seem to be by deaign.
More unemployed and higher postage costs, thank you trump.
USPS sends first RIF notices to non-union employees, seeks to raise mail prices above inflation.
The Postal Service sent its first reduction in force notices to non-union management employees Friday, and is planning to set higher prices on its mail products well above the rate of inflation.
The Senate, meanwhile, voted to confirm President Joe Biden’s third nominee to serve on the USPS Board of Governors. The board is now fully staffed for the first time since 2010, and will help the agency get its 10-year reform plan off the ground.
USPS employees working at its headquarters, or area and district offices, have known for nearly a month that a non-voluntary RIF has been on the horizon. A memo obtained and first reported by Federal News Network notified employees that RIF notices would go out as early as May 21.
However, USPS spokesman Dave Partenheimer said that notices didn’t go out last week as described under an “earlier timeline.” Partenheimer confirmed RIF notices went out Friday, but didn’t have an estimate of how many the agency sent.
Postal Board needs to whack this wiseguy
Questions raised after Louis DeJoy buys over $300K in bonds from firm linked to USPS governing board member
https://www.rawstory.com/questions-r...g-board-member
Why is this guy still in charge?
apparently Sleepy Joe wants him there
not true
due to some law/rule
biden cannot fire him outright
only a board decision- and congress appears to be working on re-balancing that trumpy board
but of course republicans like ted cruz et al are obstructing
it wouldn't cost Joe Biden anything to ask for DeJoy's resignation or for the DOJ to investigate his jail felony straw donations. for some reason though, neither of those things are happening.
like i said - by some crazy/obscure law - Biden does NOT have the power to fire him - look it up
and we do NOT know which investigations are ongoing...
we do NOT know if there are any investigations - OR - if there are MANY investigations into trumps sedition and treason
don't hold your breath, SH
its just common protocol...
over 500 terrorists arrested/prosecuted
those same terrorists get interrogated as part of evidence gathering/case prosecution
terrorists name whose orders they were following
meanwhile
congress is holding hearings and collecting white house docs/comms,etc
much of evidence points to head terrorist who planned and organized and incited the insurrection
evidence becomes a criminal referral to DOJ to add to already established evidence
FBI/DOJ now have a trove of substantiated evidence and other bits and pieces adding up to an inescapable conclusion:
there is more than enough evidence to demand an investigation into these crimes and who coordinated, planned ,ordered and was complicit
there can be no other course of action except
the Merrick Garland corruptly refuses to follow the law
which I will - for now- give Garland the benefit of the doubt

wrong thread, but
'A big win': USPS must turn over docs about DeJoy's potential conflicts of interest
A leading government ethics watchdog on Wednesday cheered a federal judge's ruling ordering the United States Postal Service to hand over do ents concerning potential conflicts of interest involving embattled Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
U.S. District Judge John D. Bates on Tuesday granted Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) a full summary judgment (pdf) and
ordered the United States Postal Service (USPS) to give the advocacy group seven do ents it requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Over the past seven years, the USPS has reportedly paid approximately $286 million to XPO Logistics, DeJoy's ex-employer, and
has "ramped up its business" with the company since DeJoy's appointment as postmaster general.
After his appointment, DeJoy continued to hold financial interests in XPO totaling between $30 and $75 million.
DeJoy also held a significant amount of stock in Amazon, a major USPS compe or.
Earlier this month, Common Dreams reported on growing calls to fire DeJoy following the revelation by The Washington Post that
USPS will pay XPO Logistics $120 million over the next five years.
Last Friday, a Post report that
DeJoy had purchased hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of publicly traded bonds from Brookfield Asset Management—where USPS Board of Governors Chair Ron Bloom is a managing partner
—fueled further calls for DeJoy's termination, with Connolly calling Bloom and the postmaster general "bandits" whose "conflicts of interest do nothing but harm the Postal Service and the American people."
