Lawmakers demand removal of Postmaster General DeJoy over nefarious efforts to destroy the Postal Servicehttps://www.alternet.org/2020/08/lawmakers-demand-removal-of-postmaster-general-dejoy-over-nefarious-efforts-to-destroy-the-postal-service/
On the heels of a Friday Night Massacre at the U.S. Postal Service that deeply alarmed lawmakers, activists, and ordinary citizens nationwide, two House Democrats are demanding the immediate removal of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy over his sweeping operational changes to the beloved government service that have slowed the delivery of essential packages and jeopardized mail-in voting.
In a statement over the weekend, Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) accused DeJoya major GOP donor to President Donald Trump with millions invested in USPS competitorsof doing the presidents bidding by sabotaging mail delivery with the November election less than 90 days away.
DeJoys baseless operational changes have already crippled a beloved and essential agency, delaying mail, critical prescription drug shipments for veterans, and seniors and other essential goods, said DeFazio.
The Oregon Democrat warned that the latest change imposed by DeJoythe ouster of two top officials and reshuffling of nearly two dozen otherslay bare his mission to centralize power, dismantle the agency, and degrade service in order to thwart vote-by-mail across the nation to aid Trumps reelection efforts.
