Dan GillmorHow is it even remotely possible that Trump's slow-the-mail-delivery Postal Service head still has his job? He's doing it again. I know there were roadblocks to getting him out, but he should have been long gone by now. This is incompetence by the Biden administration.
Damkina@dangillmor Biden’s nominees have yet to be confirmed. 🤬

The "Board", should have removed him!

Marcos Huerta@dangillmor The Senate could have subpoenaed the board of governors and asked why DeJoy still has a job.

Janis@dangillmor Becuase Democrats don't fire people for calling out the bullshit, partly. The other part is that the board can't get the last swing voter who supports him to finally retire, and there's no reason to fire him.
So, DeJoy has the support inside the bureaucracy, and there's no way to oust him without getting all Trumpy.
winter@janisf @dangillmor I think there's a pretty good reason to fire him. He's supporting someone who is actively sabotaging the constitutionally mandated mission of the Post Office.
@winterayars @dangillmor I'm not sure timliness is mandated. ASAP maybe, but soon is in the eye of the beholder.
I wish I had an answer. I'm quite sure if someone could peg the USPS, they would. I'm not sure if you can sue, but if I had a definable problem with them, I would in a heartbeat.
Anne Ominous@dangillmor agreed. this is one of many areas where biden simply dropped the ball.
he could have made firing dejoy a condition for his board appointees, and clearly he did not.

Jean Poole 🌈🌵🐶@dangillmor President Biden nominated Demings and Zollars on July 25th but the Senate Homeland Security Committee still hasn’t scheduled confirmation hearings. If you live in Michigan, I would suggest calling or emailing the committee chair, Senator Gary Peters, and ask him when this will happen. It took many months to confirm the last USPS BOG nominee and it could get messy with the impending November elections.
Cassandrich@dangillmor It's blackmail by Bezos.
sounds interestingI’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.”
Biden just got one step closer to replacing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy
Ever since Postmaster General Louis DeJoy — a major Republican donor — was selected to head the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 2020, he's been enacting massively unpopular policies criticized by postal workers and Democrats alike. Now, President Joe Biden may soon be able to replace him.On T...

@soveryoleary @dangillmor “Close partnership”? He fought tooth & nail to buy a whole fleet of ICE trucks that would’ve locked them into gas guzzling for decades and only relented on buying some EVs when they told him he could stick around, privatize everything and steal elections from them if he went with their “clean energy” goals.

The problem with the mail is a national security problem and needs to be treated as such, by removing DeJoy as if he were the agent of a hostile foreign power. Essentially, he is just that, working to disrupt the election and install Putin's buddy as POTUS, doing untold damage to Constitutional gov't itself.

My Head’s Exploding 🤯 💥
Phogna Bologna@dangillmor I regret that I have but one fav to give for this post.
My biggest complaint with this article is that they insist dejoy is"modernizing" the postal service.
He fucking destroyed their mail sorting equipment with his first act and nothing has improved in the years since, so i think they should stop giving him any credit on that point and ask him some harder questions
kaffandoI thought one of the first things Biden would have done in office was to get rid of De Joy. Absolute incompetence.
