1. Finally

someone doing something

3. I wish Herring had provided more detail. Nt

4. Here's an article with more info. Multiple states' AGs have joined

together to file the complaint:

I’ve never heard of this source so don’t know if it’s good, but the article seems informative.

12. Hi Spooky3

14. I was hoping mine was among them

but I don't see my state on the list. If herring "just joined" maybe he still can.

7. Bravo !! K&R

All states should be doing this, especially us blue ones.

[question everything]

8. This is great but.. to whom is he complaining?

Who is in charge of DeJoy? It is my understanding that no one can fire him.

9. Postal Regulatory Commission...

Biden's USPS board nominees aren't likely to oust embattled postmaster DeJoy, insiders say
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bidens-usps-board-nominees-oust-embattled-postmaster-dejoy/story?id=77217311

But even if Biden's picks are approved by the Senate, industry insiders suspect the board is unlikely to have enough votes to oust DeJoy, in part because its chairman -- Ron Bloom, a Trump-appointed Democrat -- has recently expressed strong support for the postmaster general.

10. Bloom needs to answer for his decisions.

What is his game? Doesn't seem like a Dem to me. Is this another DINO?

[deizo]

13. FIRE DEjJOY NOW!!

Are you surprised he was put in there by trump!

[BigmanPigman]

15. Our country will be stuck with tRumpists

in the govt for the rest of my lifetime, I am afraid. Fux News is 25 years old and is definitely part of the problem.

19. Id start with getting him out, since he is over his term

Doccument who paid who to do what, get him out of there, appoint replacement(s) and get dejoy out.

Except I have yet to hear our president say he even wants Dejoy out, which has been a frustration of mine.

[BigmanPigman]

21. I just read two articles and didn't read

Biden saying that either.

[question everything]

11. Aggrr..

[spooky3]

16. bloom's term ends Dec 2021, as I understand it, and

Biden can appoint someone else. If the senate has to approve and does, Biden may then have the majority of nominees on the board.

They can replace DeJoy without cause. Biden can fire him for cause. But Biden may be figuring that he doesn’t want another controversy when he can just wait a little longer and have the Board act, especially if this complaint can delay DeJoy’s “overhaul” until January.

20. We need more than just Bloom gone

Right now we have 3 votes out of 9. The 6 that predate Biden taking office all voted to support Dejoy and his plan. Need a minimum of 2 to change over for things to change.

22. John McLeod Barger (R) term ends 12/8/21

but he can serve for another year or until a successor is confirmed. Biden could nominate a dem and not be over the 5 from the same party limit.

[quakerboy]

23. So why cant biden nominate a successor for bloom right now?

Also.. Putting an independent on there seems like a devious way to get around that limits, except that I suspect Biden is too "fair minded" to take advantage of what looks to me like a loophole.

17. dejoy(less) is like t***p in that

everything he touches turns to s**t............republican s**t!

[live love laugh]

18. More money for less service.

He wants to take mail off planes and put it on trucks. It’s cheaper.

They should be investigating why and how he is justifying rate increases with cheaper transportation.

Also, the conflict of interest is brazen. It’s advantageous for him to slow down the Postal Svc. because he’s financially invested in the competition to the USPS. That should be against the law.

Biden should initiate an executive order to stop the conflict of interest in all government agencies including the Postal Svc.

24. Come December let's stick a big fucking fork in DeJoystick

Fuck that fucking fuck and his fucking shitty fucking fuckery
