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.
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.
