I’d love to believe #Democrats are not STILL so mind-blowingly self-destructive, but apparently keeping #DeJoy empowered is intentional:
“#Biden appointees have held a majority on the #USPS board since 2022, when three of his appointees were confirmed by Peters' committee. However, his appointees have been slow to fire DeJoy given his close partnership with the Biden administration on clean energy policy.”
#DeJoy, a fmr #Trump donor who assumed his role in Jan 2020, has faced criticism & calls to step down from #Democrats — including this week from Sen #JonOssoff (D-GA), who said operational delays in the state “reflected the incompetent leadership & the incompetent management of the postmaster general himself.”
But Trump also recently alleged in a social media post that it was “not possible” to trust the #USPS to process #election mail.
“We recognize that #election officials are under an extreme amount of pressure & will remain so for at least the next 2 months,” #DeJoy said. “Let me be clear: The Postal Service is ready to deliver the nation’s mail-in ballots. … Our track record is strong. We have been transporting & delivering ballots since 1864.”
#DeJoy defends #USPS readiness to handle mail-in ballots
Postmaster General DeJoy defended the Postal Service’s readiness for a spike in #election-related #mail, including #MailInBallots & other political mail, amid concerns from both parties that the agency is not prepared.
In a call w/reporters Thurs, DeJoy cited an Office of Inspector General report showing that the USPS processed between 97.01 & 98.17% of political & election mail on time between Dec 1, 2023, & April 30.
Necessary edit:
"...to denounce mail-in voting because the US Postal Service could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly."
Becomes:
"to denounce #MailInVoting because the #USPostalService, currently under the highly-criticized leadership of #Trump ally and appointee #LouisDeJoy, could not be trusted to deliver pro-Trump votes fairly."
Why is Louis #DeJoy still running the United States Post office, when his political parentage and motivations are so clearly visible?

@GottaLaff Chances are #DeJoy is destroying the USPS, you know because it is socialism.
Election officials across the country are urging United States Postmaster General Louis #DeJoy to fix what they’ve identified as significant issues causing lost, delayed or undeliverable mail that could impact voting in the 2024 election. https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/election-officials-urge-usps-to-fix-mail-delivery-issues-that-could-impact-voting/
Louis DeJoy is another voter suppression wild card in the upcoming election. Can no one rid us of this meddlesome postmaster?
