President Donald Trump may soon attempt to absorb the USPS, an independent agency, into his administration. The order could allow the Trump administration to make mail voting — which was used by tens of millions of voters last year — more difficult.

Congress passed the Postal Service Reform Act. Needless to say, it's not being followed.I heard DeJoy worked out an agreement with DOGE. @marcelias.bsky.social is this anyway a violation of the COTUS? Ben Franklin is rolling over in his grave.🤬
I am glad my Father (PhD, PBK, 100% blind, lifetime university rare books collection curator, North Caroliniana Award winner)
doesn't have to see what these horrible, ignorant, disgusting people are doing to his country.
From any perspective, Trump exhibits all the attributes of tyranny. A tyrant has no place in a civilized world. As long as Trump remains, America can no longer be regarded as civilized.
He must be defeated. He is a disgrace to this great country and all who made it so....those who would be aghast at the mere thought that an ignoramus like trump could actually get elected..I attribute it to New Your City culture and all those high rolling scam artists like Witkoff and of course Musk

If a president tries to fold an independent agency like the USPS into his control, it’s not just administrative — it’s symbolic.
When voting by mail becomes harder, democracy becomes thinner.
The issue isn’t left or right. It’s up or down: toward concentration of power, or toward balance and trust.
WE LIVE IN A FASCIST DICTATORSHIP
This is my latest mini-documentary exploring the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S. I'm committed to improving my work, so I truly welcome any constructive feedback. Thank you so much for your support and engagement—it means a lot to me! 🙏

I think a lot of us knew he was going after mail voting - The man has told so many lies about voting by mail - I hope all his lies are truly realised by every last person in this country and any demented person watching all this unfold from OS that thinks Trump is an okay guy -
Elonold wants this to access the BILLIONS USPS was forced to prepay for funding post retirement healthcare benefits. Since USPS was essentially a Constitutional creation how can an EO destroy it?
We cannot let this happen. Americans we must make our voices heard and our power seen. #Unite #April5 #FiftyFiftyOne #FiveCalls Also, support Democracy Docket. Mark Elias' work is critical
"Make mail voting difficult."
My mom is 77 and disabled. I am her sole caregiver. We were both supposed to receive absentee ballots.
We never got them.
Despite the fact that I have USPS Informed Delivery and SAW A SCAN OF THE BALLOTS. They never got to our house.
THE ELECTION WAS RIGGED.

Before anyone asks if I contacted anyone about it...OF COURSE I DID. I made all the calls. No one "got back to me." Not the USPS, not the county, not DSS. DSS sent the ballots out because I asked them to. But No. One. Returns. Calls.

This is the reason he is doing it, to ensure that his authoritarian regime can maintain their power. This is one of may tools to suppress the rights of the American people

Let's plan an emergency action, that people will know what to do if this happen and where to go, to protest in masses. Would be great to have drone operators donate free footage of this. I propose that we make plans to surround every U.S. post office building in the U.S. Circle the wagons. Congress?

I haven't trusted mail-in voting since 2017. Even if the ballot gets there on time, the thugs in NC are ready to say that your signature doesn't match, or your witness didn't sign in the exact right spot.
Since the Constitution explicitly grants to Congress the power to establish post offices, how can Trump just absorb the the USPS without an amendment to the Constitution. Wouldn't Article 1 Section 8 Clause 7 bar this without an amendment? Do you think the conservative SCOTUS will allow it?
States MUST invest in ballot collections, drop off spots and all things related to elections that cannot be entrusted to the federal government any longer
Our state went with funding the installation of heavy duty drop boxes at every fire station or school parking lot or other places with safe, government workers around a lot. That also have cameras. It's a win-win for every citizen. Very safe and secure easy to get to. People can also mail, stamped.
What does the Constitution say about the Post Office. I thought that is why it was always independent. Or is this another incident of ignoring the Constitution.

Time to fix this once and for all. Election day needs to be a holiday for all and voting needs to be made mandatory. #fELONtRUMP and the Rs are trying to make the US 100% worse, let's make it %1000 better!
Trump never stopped campaigning for 10 years. His rallies gave a constant platform for his ugliest ideas
We need to do the same. Let's clear the benches and get every available person of good will and any public speaking abilities and let's get out there and speak.

I feel sick just typing that.

They can't win on policy, so they cheat.

I'll be at the polls every time in person when it comes to voting down Stupid.
We are the a butt of a joke.

Keep a light on his insanity.
Nothing Trump's crew is doing are the actions of people who ever expect to face voters again.
