USPS performance these days is abysmal. I think the administration really needs to push hard to get this done. It could be a big, badly needed win in the public opinion space.

Also, DOJ needs to be investigating him for sabotage and conflicts of interest.

Half of Americans can't name a SC justice, or for that matter, even their own Senator.

In December a new Chairman of the Board was elected with the unanimous support of the Board which included three Biden appointees. The new Chairman, Roman Martinez, expressed total support for DeJoy.

"We Gotta Get You Arrested" ( sung to the tune of "We Gotta You A Woman" )

DeJoy, boy, is that you?
I thought your Post Office days were through
Tellin' lies and wrecking lives
Soulless eyes
Think you're wise
I tell you now, we're gonna get you dude
There's only one thing left that we can do

We gotta get you arrested
It's like nothin' else to make sure the mail is on time
We gotta get you arrested
We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now

DeJoy, boy, where's my mail?
You oughta be in de jail.
Ride this cruiser down the street.
Take a seat -
watch your feet.
We may not ever get this chance again
That angry feeling's just about to end

We gotta get you arrested
It's like nothin' else to make sure the mail is on time
We gotta get you arrested
We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout life and how to make you do
decades in prison we will put you through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
We got to find some time to get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you arrested
It's like nothin' else to make sure the mail is on time
We gotta get you arrested
We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout things so evil that you've done
You may be stupid, but it sure is fun
to give chase to you while you're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause
We got to get a prosecutor with guts who has been around
One who knows better than to let us down
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you arrested
We gotta get you arrested
We gotta get you arrested
And when we're through with you
We'll get some Trumps too

Let's hope DeJoyboy won't be smiling soon... I can't believe this tRump stooge is still in charge after hobbling the USPS, getting rid of perfectly good sorting machines for no reason, making the system slower, etc. These are all things that would get a normal person FIRED from a normal job in a normal world.
