To be fair, there has been a bipartisan effort to privatize the USPS for YEARS. These lawmakers all stand to benefit from privatization by way of their stock portfolios.
He was appointed by Von Shitzinpants during the first term. Apparently he’s satisfied that he’s fucked it up beyond saving at this point. Think about it, who will Von Shitzinpants appoint to the position now? Surely President Musk has an overly qualified 18 year old that would be perfect for it.
He made his money. His job is done. Now it's time for an oligarch to take over, privatize and ruin voting by mail. I think they'll start with overseas ballots then come up with reasons why domestic voting by mail is compromised.
I don't understand why Biden didn't replace Louis DeJoy on day one. I'm not happy with the GOP but also, as a lifelong Dem I'm not all that happy with the Dems.

Ding Dong the Witch is Dead!
If I have one beef with Joe Biden, it's that he didn't do whatever he could to convince the Board of Governors of the USPS to unseat that POS.
But just in time for Elon’s destruction of government Phase 3. DeJoy, an actual voluntary resignation of a government employee since 1/20/25. He’ll be replaced by someone far worse, ensuring the demise of the USPS.
Almost certainly he waited to leave until the guarantee of another - larger and covertly federally insured - option was created as the election quid pro quo matured.
He’ll make a peachy director on the board of a private corporation blessed by Trump to assume postal service duties and to disclose what kind of mail each individual in America receives.
ai will know you better than yourself.
Trump isn’t running in 2028 you don’t say or is it there’s no more voting allowed in the USA!
DeJoy the postal genius??? who to improve delivery service took a two day delivery and made it two weeks. How impressive. Too bad seniors who depend on the mail got their lives turned upside down.
If the 2 Independents help the 4 Dems, they could oust failed DeJoy.
Maybe they planned to do just that ... and that's why the loser quits now ... 🤷🏼♀️
My cynicism is in high gear, but I can only think he's been allowed to escape is because some creature even more vile and destructive has been waiting in the fascist wings.
Did anyone at all check that mail in ballots arrived at their intended destination? Last time a judge had to order post office sweeps. I saw a bunch of people saying their ballots had not been received.
Perhaps fortunately the board of governors chooses the postmaster general and the board is balanced politically. But it's going to be interesting to see who gets the job.
The Senate did not confirm Biden's nominees to the Governors board. One finally withdrew after waiting two years. He could not fire them without cause.
Biden had a majority of 5 appointees on the Postal Board of Governors by May, 2022. Before that, you are right, Biden could not fire DeJoy. Presumably, he could have made it a requirement for every one of his appointees to remove DeJoy to be nominated. Why he did not do so is another Biden mystery.
Do not celebrate his departure.
The Board votes for who the PG is. It's a nomination by the President not an appointment. There are 3 vacant seats because Schumer didn't hold Senate confirmation hearings for Biden's nominees.
dejoy is like a horror movie, he's every bad boss you ever had coming up, and now the line-up is the same or typically much worse; i literally have nightmares about having worked with people like this in corporate; forewarned is forearmed, bet
Yes but his departure is worse.
Why is it that no one is talking about the fate of 500,000 federal union members? The destruction of the NALC and the APW?
The fact that the USPS is in the constitution?
There are 600,000 clerks and carriers in the country. All protected by the unions.
Go on strike. You don't have a contract. Shut it all down I bet the Republicans in Congress will wake to F up then. Other unions like the AFLCIO need to join on behalf of Federal Workers. Shut it down.
We can't
Under the PRA there's a no strike clause. But trump can't return the USPS to the executive branch without Congress. The PRA is the law. It has been since 1970. He can't fire the Board of Governors.
We'll see him in court.
Well, if they nullify this law from their end, it's also nullified on the workers' end. This isn't a one-way street. It was agreed to because of a strike. You are very trained as a workforce and can't be replaced. If you strike, they aren't replacing you or privatizing you any time soon.
In the alternative, I see lots of ill Postal Workers, not showing up to work. Thousands of them. Like the TSA during Reagan. I'd like a strike better. Otherwise, you become a civil service and lose all your collective bargaining rights. We see how that's working out for the CS Employees.
oh, but they think they can (of course, i'm fighting all this shit), but this is actual violence with a seal of approval, this is brown shirt level nazi state run everything... https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3limns4bc732y
Management can't fire career carriers without due cause and it has to be extreme and proven. Like stealing a reg. That's why they're offering early out.
But that's all over now. It will be privatized.
when a group of drunken (literal and metaphorical) ignorant monkeys try to shut down the whole federal gov and all services, schools, etc... this is their ascendancy, they are going after every agency, every anything that they can see, but they are ignorant, band together, please, we're stronger
sad, very sad; short term i agree with you; for those who don't know RIF means 'reduction in force' -- this is happening broad spectrum, across many agencies, and it breaks my heart; longtime former DC resident, these are my people, as are local PO's and mail workers 💔
It is extremely frustrating that most people don't understand the way the USPS works. There are so many that still think the President can hire and fire the PG. That the board doesn't have any authority.
Yes, because now it will be privatized and owned by Bezos. He won't be replaced. And even if trump were to nominate someone else that person would be worse. The vacancies Schumer left on the board ensure that.
I've been saying this since nov. 6. Postmaster Bezos! If people think service is bad now, they will really be crying when this gets privatized and they cannot hire people who care enough do to the job well.
hell to the no, in both cases; that old expression that goes like you dug to the sub-basement, and you hear scratching from underneath, so you keep digging, and hear more scratching... it's nearly fractal; they don't know shit about shit, and don't know how to stop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QxIIz1yEsA
Normally I’d say it would be a challenge to find someone worse but I’m sure the current regime will recruit a teenage Nazi with a paper route & call it a day
Drumpf is going to privatize the post office to grab some of that Shien, TEMU, pharmacy by mail & every other package delivery cash. I wonder which white golfing buddy will get that gig.
A fete a complee. He did what he was hired to do and that was to interfere in our 2020 and 2024 elections, create chaos, sabotage blue state ballots.
He:
Slowed down the mail
Destroyed mail sorting machines
Hid 340,000 ballots (2020)
Redirected ballots in blue states to other districts
and more...

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Hopefully we will never have to see his smarmy rat faced smirk ever again. His meddling cost consumers millions and interrupted medication delivery.
They will tear the PO down and sell off its profitable parts to private business. What will remain will be but a shell of what it was. Many on the right have been advocating this for years.

His work is done
Sometimes this place makes no DAMNED sense.
In 1970, the Postal Reorganization Act made the USPS an independent agency.
The USPS has a unique status, operating like a business but as an independent agency of the executive branch.
If you have Amazon Prime, drop it now. Stop using that app AT ALL.
Here comes the Tesla mail truck fleet.
They cost millions each.
I'm not celebrating until it's official.
I made that mistake when Ron Johnson signaled he was leaving.

Bet on it
That shithead has never had to work at anything except his grifting and lying. And those were natural talents
But it will be someone equally bad
Makes complete sense really.

Hint - it’s nefarious.
But I doubt he'll be gone long.

I believe Biden nominated 3 to fill vacant spots ... he picked 1 Dem, 1 Repuke (😡) and 1 Independent. They had to be confirmed by the US Senate.
Currently, there are 4 Dems, 3 Rs, and 2 Indep.
Forever being fair 🙄
This f**king guy!
Good riddance...
Now the orange twat waffle will bring in another ass licking disaster!
Eww!
Your wisdom is appreciated.
A reward for all the sabotage and treason.

He can't " nullify" the law by EO.
Let him go ahead and try. MF is going to lose.

Apparently this was what they wanted.
