NEW: Trump plans to sign an executive order to overtake the USPS by dissolving its leadership and placing it under his administration. This move would grant them immense power over mail-in ballots, a key target in Republican election fraud rhetoric.

My question is: when do We, The People start one? Velvet, of course. Not advocating for violence, so any of you fake anti-Trumpers on here can save it.
God it’s almost like democrats could have done something ahead of all this, and didn’t. So now I wonder, what money are democrats making off Trump? Because Schumer and Jeffries aren’t doing Jack shit.
This is fucking outrageous. Executive Orders don’t have this kind of power. The USPS should send it back to him with a letter that says, “You don’t have this authority. Fuck off.”
Post office is clear, EXPLICIT power of Congress in Art I Sec 8 Ln 7. Not sure why everyone is discussing Trump's move here without mentioning Congress and their power over the PO.
That has to be thwarted, its bad enough you have muskrat doing whatever he is doing in the background really not sure if he didn't do stuff in the 2024 election but do not want to go trumpish on that.
He doesn't but still he is going to do it because you elected a dictator who fucks everyone and everything just because he can and nobody is going to stop him!
Hope trump’s rural voters enjoy not having mail service anymore. Not cost-efficient, once he privatizes USPS, to deliver mail to all those out-of-the-way places.
This has been their plan for years starting w putting DeJoy in as head for years to slowly cripple it. No guarantees of privacy of your mail when they privatize it. Horrendous.
I respectfully but strongly disagree. Retired USPS. They have been privatized us for decades. I first started noticing it when Rep(CA) Issa got a bill through that almost crippled the Post Office. We held on as long we could. It’s up to the people to fix it.
Haul this Fuckerrrrr to jail… my God they are openly destroying your country… they’ve gone rogue, no laws will hold them. They are few you are many do not let fear take you down… just saying
We The People need to go to the Supreme Court and insist that the 25 Amendment be immediately invoked on Trump, as this is a world 911, not just Americas. Bc the people that are supposed to invoke it are taking abusing the situation for personal advantage, which is also elderly abuse!
I know. That is why I’m asking if it’s something that WE THE PEOPLE can bring before the court. They are not the only ones “witnessing the dangerous behaviors”. He is a threat to self and the world. The criteria for a State Involuntary petition. Let the court decide, whether it has to be enforced
This is illegal and he doesn't have the power to do it and if you're not saying that right up front at the beginning of any statements about it, you are doing it wrong.
Trump and his buddies had over four years to prepare for this term and they are putting so much stuff and changing so much all at once there’s no way anyone could keep up. So many of them are criminals. It makes you wanna cry.
Will someone explain 2 me like I’m 5 how he can completely dismantle our government with just EO’s? What happened to passing bills, making it law? I honestly thought stuff still had 2 b voted on, that u couldn’t just write ur wishes down on paper & it had to be followed🤷♀️
Republican fuckery with the USPS has had me delivering ballots to drop-boxes instead for over a decade. We can still do this in spite of the deliberate dismantling of what was a self sustaining government service until the CONs got their hooks into it. THE USPS MUST BE SAVED REGARDLESS!
Part of the problem is these executive orders are quick. He writes and releases them, boom. The courts are very, very slow. And they appeal until they get to the highest court which takes forever. Until then, it's chaos. We hope the courts are fair. They may not be, considering he's bought the SC.
This is what I sent to my senators and representatives: The Democrats MUST display disapproval of Trump! THIS IS OUR SELMA!!!!!!!! You are asking us to display our outrage by putting ourselves in the path of danger. YOU MUST WALK YOUR WALK, NOT TALK THE TALK, too! WALK THIS BRIDGE WITH US!!!!!!
👆Donald Trump does not care if policies are popular because he has no intention of leaving office.
He plans to dismantle the government and stay in power until he dies, knowing if he were ever to leave office that he would face endless criminal and civil lawsuits.
They don’t need to be in charge of USPS to screw with elections. USPS has a large and well (some might argue too well) funded pension and tons of real estate in prime locations. Private equity would have a field day stripping the pension and liquidating the real estate. It’s a cash grab.
He doesn't intend to give up power. He doesn't believe in democracy. He's an authoritarian dictator. The longer he stays in power the harder the removal.
It's Unconstitutional, as is his thinking he can stop minting pennies (it's in the Constitution that only Congress can mint coins and currency)... He is going to need more lawyers who will eventually be defeated by lawyers who actually have read the Constitution.
Completely illegal but the republikkkans in house and senate will say nothing and the democrats will say “ugh, not fair, boo.” And then they’ll go and try to sell their fucking books and shit.
My god, this is a horrible administration who's giving the orders actually because Trump isn't smart enough for that. Most of his syncophants just want to do what they're told. So who is actually giving the orders to trump?
What the hell happened to law enforcement in this country??? Where’s the FBI? Or federal marshals? Or ANY law enforcement power? Do we just sit and watch this asshole break every law in the book and wait for the courts and lawyers endless back and forth?
Could you imagine the noice we would hear from @housegop.bsky.social @senategop.bsky.social if a Dem president did this? MSM too, but I haven’t heard shit except here.
Someone needs to tell Jared Polis that he should stop trying to make nice with Cheetolini, and start fighting dirty to try to keep Colorado’s mail-in ballots
My exact question. Not everything is explicit in the Constitution, BUT CONGRESS POWER over the POST OFFICE is EXPLICIT in Art. I Sec 8 Ln 7.
This should not even be a discussion. It is evidence that Trump knows how uninformed most Americans are.
VOTE IN BIG NUMBERS…early or same day IN PERSON…check your vote status often via local state voting website…CRUCIAL…plan underway to steal votes they claim Democrats did…just downright conniving…
Trump is Kompromat Krasnov, destroying the US and the West from within as Putin directs him to do. Stopping the cyber protections against Russia, easing sanctions, stopping arms flows to Ukraine. Russia defeats the US without firing a single bullet.
Remember when Dejoy started fucking up the USPS and Biden wrung his hands and said "gosh, we can't fire him, that might be against the rules!" Thanks, dipshit.
He thrives off the fact that the courts move so slowly. By the time they rule, there may be nothing left. Or he could just ignore the courts. Who is
going to enforce it?
This explains why republicans are so smug with constituents outrage they know they wont be voted out, can this takeover be stopped or paused in court? EO against the constitution cannot stand!!
Where are the Democrats and their leaders. I would be living in a tent on Capital Hill till the these ridiculous executive orders stop. This is a democracy. Where are you! Help
We knew this day was coming, right? Widespread dissatisfaction with the conduct of #Election2028 (if we even get that far) merely feeds into Trump’s absurd assertion that he should be allowed to serve a third term …
I find myself more and more angry with Biden and his bullshit let’s work together behavior every day. This country is diving into failure and ultimately significant violence. JFC this is so horrible.
Let’s Fuk with Trump by watch Servant of the People starring Volodymyr Zelensky
on Netflix tomorrow during the presidential address in hopes of having it get higher ratings than the presidential address!
lol isn’t that the point… For it to disrupt mail voting. DeJoy was appointed well into the 2020 campaign and Covid cycle because clearly the fear was mail voting.
Has no one worked out yet that America has been subject of a coup? and is no longer a democracy? Of course elections will be rigged, 14th amendment will go. Judiciary already being purged - non elected people directing policy. Fascism central
Very difficult now, the Supreme Court ruled the President is not bound or subject to the Law. Trump’s presidential edict that only he & the AG can define what the law is. If anyone tries to oppose him he will suspend the Constitution and enact the insurrection act. It was obvious what he would do ..
Trying to threaten mail in ballots will only provoke people to help others that can’t make it to vote. I for one will definitely help my neighbors! #RESIST
States have laws about how many people you can drive to the polls.
Of course he doesn't care that California has saved a ton of money being all mail in. 1 polling place in my county, 50 miles away.
Boy, I am really getting sick and tired of him just writing *edicts* and NO ONE doing anything about it. This just can't be legal. It can't be! #CantBeLegal
We stand in bad weather. We stand hungry and tired and thirsty. We stand regardless of what we are wanting to do instead. We stand in the line and we vote like our lives depend on it. Because lives do. And our whole world is watching.
It's illegal. Call your favorite "GOP" official and demand townhall in person. If they didn't show up, hold it anyway and introduce their replacements. And demand resignations!!!!
Plans. Threats. Two weeks he's been 'planning' and two weeks that the USPS Board has been working to resist. Threats. He can screw over the rest of the civil service, but the Post Office? Maybe? Threats.
Must be why tracking packages is down constantly. I sent a priority mail (3 to 5) day package 3 weeks ago that hasn't been delivered, yet.
I can't file a claim until its actually delivered.
Again, every Trump accusation is a confession. Trump intends on committing election fraud, so he accuses Democrats of doing it first. If you use a mail-in ballot, please hand carry it to an official drop box, not the USPS.
Why would you think a lawsuit at this point would change anything? It’s literally done no good in the past eight years, and now he owns the entire government. It’s over.
You could not be more wrong?
What do you suggest, we all act like you and throw in the towel?
We could just sit around and whine about it too.
Yeah, not for me. No thank you. You do what you want. The fighters will handle it for all!
Jesus!

Fun times.
that
I just got back from the 50501 protest at our state cap. I had an hour for suppah.
How about it, @indivisible.org ?
He plans to dismantle the government and stay in power until he dies, knowing if he were ever to leave office that he would face endless criminal and civil lawsuits.
He is taking steps to prove it.
The way to deal with Trump is to register Republican and vote Democrat. Your vote won't end up in a ditch.
This should not even be a discussion. It is evidence that Trump knows how uninformed most Americans are.
If you don't see that happening then you are not paying attention.
He does not want to be president, he wants to be a King with an Iron Fist!
@schumer.senate.gov
Lemme guess, the organization that takes control of it...will be owned by DeJoy, right?
The word is “will”
Why why why just tell the facts
One has to believe this will definitively hurt Democrats.
going to enforce it?
That Postal Service? That was chartered on
independence from government?
Seems bad.
on Netflix tomorrow during the presidential address in hopes of having it get higher ratings than the presidential address!
Of course he doesn't care that California has saved a ton of money being all mail in. 1 polling place in my county, 50 miles away.
USPS was est by law of Congress
I think we will also need a nationwide strike for a week or so at some point so Wall Street gets the message.
Oh man, how bad is it that I even thought that... that we're even at this point where legality means nothing to a sitting president? 🤦
I can't file a claim until its actually delivered.
Does Congress do anything anymore?
Is this even legal!
if you hv knowledge pls respond
We’ll make it so you’ll never have to vote again
Remember when trump said that??
Big big lawsuit!!
What do you suggest, we all act like you and throw in the towel?
