Swamped with complaints about USPS, McEachin (D-VA) takes aim at T---- Postmaster General

[ffr]

Swamped by thousands of complaints over lost or delayed mail, Rep. Don McEachin, D-4th, is leading an intensifying push in Congress to replace U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and, if necessary, the entire governing board of the U.S. Postal Service.

McEachin urged the Postal Service Board of Governors on Thursday to replace DeJoy — appointed in May by then-President Donald Trump before a presidential election that relied on record delivery of mail-in absentee ballots that the former president continues to blame for his loss.

“Due to ongoing mismanagement, this American institution has been stretched to its limits, leading to transportation challenges, staff shortages and unacceptable delivery times across the country,” McEachin said in a news briefing on Thursday morning.

McEachin also wrote to President Joe Biden on Thursday to urge him to fill three Democratic seats that Trump had left vacant on the Postal Service governing board and, if the board fails to replace DeJoy, replace all of the board’s existing members. - Richmond Times Dispatch

5. It's always a good think when accountability can catch up to a QOP assh*le

The sooner the USPS is rid of De Joy, the sooner it can get back to operating without both arms tied behind it's back.

6. I bet the Postal Workers on the

whole are so Happy Biden WON!

4. I will happily open a bottle of champagne when this happens.

7. This needs to happen. Yesterday is not soon enough.

A thank you note I sent in Oct finally reached its destination on Mon. It was ripped and in a plastic bag, in pieces. My BIL’s cable bill arrived last week. The due date was Dec 31. This is unacceptable.

[crickets]

8. Yes!

If he could be charged for all of the damage he's done, that would be nice too.

9. The new Attorney General needs to investigate the hell out DeJoy and his board.

The destruction of millions of dollars worth of government property alone should be worth a few years in prison.

16. We have to get the AG first.

(Q’s) are slowing down garland’s packet as much as they can.

10. McEachin is absolutely right. Get rid of the whole damned lot of them.

11. DeJoy is a prime example of Republican efficiency

with predictably disastrous results

[dalton99a]

12. Get rid of DeJoy ASAP.

DeJoy should be arrested.

[SunSeeker]

13. Yes, diverting US mail is a felony!

He also destroyed federal property, including sorting machines worth millions of dollars.

We need him gone now! We need our mail service. I do my shopping online, which relies on the post office. And we continue to have vote by mail elections. Our post office operating efficiently is indispensable to our economy and our democracy.

15. This X 1000 or more.

Anyone messing with the USPS really burns my biscuuits.

[flibbitygiblets]

14. Oh, it's "necessary"

Our postal carriers in rural Oregon have told us they regularly have to work overtime for no pay because of the way their workload is structured. These are incredibly kind, service oriented, hard working people. Not to mention brave. Postal workers deserve better. Americans deserve better.

[Hekate]

17. Yes. Yes! YES!!!

Throw them all out — and prosecute.

[Greybnk48]

18. I'll pop a cork if this happens for sure!

Please make it so!

19. I do hope this is fixed.

On January 28 I sent a card and check to each of our daughters. One lives 4 hours away, one 2.5 hours away, one 2.25 hours away. All in Virginia.

The daughter who lives farthest away received her mail within a few days - routed through the Dulles, VA sorting station. The other two? Those cards are sitting in Richmond, Virginia. They arrived there on January 30.

Late last year I sent a card from my home to my friend in Pennsylvania. It took a month to arrive.
