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.

    I will never understand how people can blindly defend Biden, or even think that the destruction of infrastructure on a massive scale is business as usual. Or cannot be stopped under any circumstance.

    Perhaps you and others have no clue of the extent of the damage , or perhaps you don’t care? Perhaps it makes you feel better to think nothing could be done.

    Honestly feel contempt at this moment

      I’ll never understand people so willfully ignorant like you. Refusal to believe facts because they don’t fit your narrative. I wish I could be as blissfully ignorant as you are, but I’m cursed with the ability to learn, and educate myself. You’re fortunate you are not.
