Biden wanted .

Nothing wrong, but investigating and firing blatantly partisan hacks like Louis DeJoy would have detracted from that [/sarcasm]

Also, he knew better than did we. With so much experience and knowledge, why should he have trusted us over his gut feeling [/subtweet]

Bonus on his gut feeling: Siding with over testimony

NBC News · Biden hopes to avoid divisive Trump investigations, preferring unityBy Carol E. Lee

Worth reading! (Short.)

Three things:

1. I have to admit that "Incel Clown Posse" as a name for DOGE was new to me. 🤣
2. How is it that Louis DeJoy is the only one in any part of government to slow-walk a DOGE invasion? Fucking DeJoy!?
3. Kiss the postal service goodbye.

Crooks and Liars · Postmaster DeJoy To Help DOGE Wreck The US Postal ServiceBy NewsHound Ellen

U.S. Postmaster General Louis #DeJoy’s Thursday announcement that the independent United States #Postal #Service is partnering with the Department of Government Efficiency on a cost-cutting crusade that includes a
🔥planned reduction of 10,000 workers stoked fears that one of America’s most trusted and relied-upon federal agencies is on a path toward #privatization.
In a letter to congressional leaders, DeJoy said #DOGE will help the USPS “in identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
The postal chief listed “mismanagement” of the agency’s #retirement #assets and workers’ compensation program,
“unfunded mandates imposed on us by legislation,” and “burdensome regulatory requirements restricting 'normal' business practice” as issues to be addressed.

Common Dreams · Alarm as DeJoy Teams Up With DOGE to Gut US Postal Service | Common DreamsOne Democratic congresswoman called the partnership "a blatant move toward privatization."

Obama has openings in the #USPS Board of Governors. Sanders blocks Obama's nominations. Obama leaves with vacancies in #BOG.

trump nominates & fills vacancies in BOG, as well as #Dejoy for #PostmasterGeneral. Dejoy destroys sorting machines, limits employee hours, changes routing, resulting in delays & lost mail. This affects voting by mail. Only the BOG can fire Dejoy, and do not.

"The US postmaster general, Louis DeJoy, said on Tuesday he had asked the US Postal Service (USPS) governing board to identify his successor.

In November, DeJoy warned that the post office, which has lost more than $100bn since 2007, must continue to cut costs or will remain on the path to either a 'government bailout or the end of this great organization as we know it'.

USPS did not say when DeJoy – who has headed the agency since 2020 – plans to step down. His announcement comes weeks after Donald Trump took office.

USPS is implementing a 10-year restructuring plan announced in 2021 that aims to eliminate $160bn in predicted losses over the next decade. USPS now projects $80bn in losses over the period and plans further cuts to address the shortfall."
