Summary:
Louis DeJoy has resigned as postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) amid uncertainty about the agency’s future under President Trump.
DeJoy had notified the USPS board of directors in February that it was “time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor.” His resignation on Monday expedites that process and leaves Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino in charge until a permanent replacement is found.
“While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance – and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization – much work remains that is necessary to change our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement first reported by Reuters.
DeJoy had served as Postmaster General since May 2020. He previously donated to GOP political campaigns.

So nice of him to wait until he finished crippling the system and specifically fucking with ballot deliveries and returns and helping orangeboi get in before resigning. Fucking shitbag.
He’s walking away with blood all over himself.
He knows he won’t be needed for the next election, because…well, you know.
Why didnt Biden ditch this guy when he had a chance? He could have, if he had shown any spine at all as president. That entire administration let us down badly.
Biden couldn’t remove him. Why does this need to be repeated over and over?
He couldn’t remove him directly, but he was able to appoint enough members of the board that they had a Democratic majority, who could have booted DeJoy. Biden needed to appoint members who were committed to resisting and firing DeJoy, and with Biden’s, and Congress’s loud vocal support, influence the rest of the board to replace him.
Instead, Biden did less than nothing.
He did at least exactly nothing
Famous for trying to sabotage ballot delivery during the 2020 election to help Trump.
Appointed by Trump.
And biden didn’t get rid of him… it’s like the dems aren’t even trying.
Biden couldn’t get rid of him. Look up the process for getting a new one.
Trump is managing to get rid of whole fucking departments and Biden couldn’t get rid of a snake in a mailbox.
It does seem ludicrous, but would Biden doing things illegally be better? Everything Trump has done goes against the very principle of the country, so he’s not the benchmark we need, even though he’s “accomplishing” so much more by doing it wrongly.
Presidents were above the law for the final year of Biden’s term.
He chose to do nothing.
Everyone says this, but it was dependent upon the SCROTUS determining that it was an “official act.” Guess how many things a Democrat did would be decided to be an official act by them?
He could have, but had excuses. There were always excuses here, there , in hundreds of things that were not done, never intended to be done.
Ultimately it was worth more to allow the sabotage to continue rather than pay the political price.
No, really. Legally the President can’t touch that position. I’ve got my pitchfork out too, but this isn’t one of the things to go after.
He could have allowed criminal charges against DeJoy, it’s hard to keep one’s position if convicted and serving a multi year sentence.
DeJoy destroyed so much of the infrastructure that he could have easily been charged for dozens of things, even murder when prescribed medications were lost by the tens of thousands due to the backlogs he created.
For what broken laws? What law, specifically, did he break? Being a piece of shit doesn’t break any laws.
Would have been cool if he did that like 4 years ago.
