Summary:
Louis DeJoy has resigned as postmaster general of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) amid uncertainty about the agency’s future under President Trump.
DeJoy had notified the USPS board of directors in February that it was “time for them to begin the process of identifying his successor.” His resignation on Monday expedites that process and leaves Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino in charge until a permanent replacement is found.
“While our management team and the men and women of the Postal Service have established the path toward financial sustainability and high operating performance – and we have instituted enormous beneficial change to what had been an adrift and moribund organization – much work remains that is necessary to change our positive trajectory,” DeJoy said in a statement first reported by Reuters.
DeJoy had served as Postmaster General since May 2020. He previously donated to GOP political campaigns.
He could have, but had excuses. There were always excuses here, there , in hundreds of things that were not done, never intended to be done.
Ultimately it was worth more to allow the sabotage to continue rather than pay the political price.
only the BOG couldve gotten rid of dejoy
No, he couldn’t. Biden literally could not just fire him. That’s not how the Postmaster General works. The committee that controls who the PMG is, would not fire him.
Biden has absolutely no control over who the PMG is. He couldn’t fire Dejoy. He couldn’t assign a new PMG.
Don’t be stupid about something you know nothing of.
He had no control over the postmaster general. He only had control over a majority of the people who vote for him…
And he appointed 5 of them. You are aware you can’t force people to do something if you’re a half decent person, right? Like, free will is a thing, and unless I’m mistaken, Biden isn’t the leader of a cult, nor does he have mind control powers, last I checked.
JFC, you can absolutely make selecting someone contingent on their plan to vote against an postmaster general intent on destroying the service. What do you think the process is, just evaluating the cut of their jib and crossing his fingers hoping they’ll advance his policy interests?
Removed by mod
I will never understand how people can blindly defend Biden, or even think that the destruction of infrastructure on a massive scale is business as usual. Or cannot be stopped under any circumstance.
Perhaps you and others have no clue of the extent of the damage , or perhaps you don’t care? Perhaps it makes you feel better to think nothing could be done.
Honestly feel contempt at this moment
you do realize THE BOG are the one that can remove dejoy right?
I’ll never understand people so willfully ignorant like you. Refusal to believe facts because they don’t fit your narrative. I wish I could be as blissfully ignorant as you are, but I’m cursed with the ability to learn, and educate myself. You’re fortunate you are not.

No, really. Legally the President can’t touch that position. I’ve got my pitchfork out too, but this isn’t one of the things to go after.
He could have allowed criminal charges against DeJoy, it’s hard to keep one’s position if convicted and serving a multi year sentence.
DeJoy destroyed so much of the infrastructure that he could have easily been charged for dozens of things, even murder when prescribed medications were lost by the tens of thousands due to the backlogs he created.
For what broken laws? What law, specifically, did he break? Being a piece of shit doesn’t break any laws.
Did Biden stop charges against him? Would that stop him from keeping the position, legally? Honest questions.
I know it’s frustrating, but there are processes in place, and sometimes people find ways to use that to their advantage to do evil.
Who knows? I would like to think that; my point is, that if Biden officially recognized what was happening , and made it a point to try to stop the damage, then lots of options come open after that.
But, he ignored that: we will never know
