Postmaster General, Trump Donor, Dumps Top Postal Execs as Election Nears


Dems need to be screaming at the top of their lungs about this NOW!

President Trump has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. Postal Service isn’t up to the task of handling mail-in ballots in the 2020 election. He has also refused to seek extra funding for mail delivery in this election year.

And the major supporter he appointed to run the USPS is making it even harder.

“Postmaster General Louis DeJoy unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the nation’s mail service” on Friday, “displacing the two top executives overseeing day-to-day operations,” along with 21 other top officials, reports the Washington Post.

The USPS has never had problems with my Christmas cards, so I can't imagine my ballot will overload the system.

To the new postmaster:

Do not think of us as stupid. I realize you have known Mr. Trump over the years, but we are NOT Mr. Trump.
Do not put us in the same category.

If you cannot figure out how to deliver our ballots safely and in a timely manner, you should not be in that position.
