ARREST DE JOY!
IT IS A FEDERAL OFFENCE TO INTERFERE WITH THE UNITED STATES MAIL.
DON'T FIRE HIM, ARREST HIM.

DeJoy has ownership stake in a private competitor of the USPS. But I'm sure that has nothing to him with trying to cripple the USPS. 🙄

[dronetek]

The fact that he is under investigation and still in that position because no one can fire him is a problem in and of itself.

[corkyvanderhaven]

The face of a guy …you wouldn’t be shocked when they find bodies in his yard

[goaway]

Dejoy is one of the most frightening creeps I've ever seen. He makes my skin crawl. Why is he still
Postmaster

[ricardothrash]

Having"Honorable"in front of dejoy is a oxymoron by definition.

This a travesty when someone is in an official government position and cannot be removed by the President or Congress!
If congressmen/women can be removed from heading committees so should any one else in government. If they can hold a recall vote on the CA governor they can review this man's performance. To say he cannot be removed puts him above the law and accountability.

[MRantzWI]

Does anybody remember a day... way back when... that if somebody was doing something like DeJoy is doing today, they would have been called into a meeting with the President and shortly after that meeting that person would have offered their resignation voluntarily. Sometimes being the president, means you have compassion and a decent heart, but then there are times... when you just have to show the people that you have a big set of balls on you to.

DeJoy needs to be removed as postmaster and charged with every crime the DOJ can come up with...

[lmrmay]

This turkey? I can't believe This Guy! Tucson AZ postal service slowed when He Took it over. What use to take 3-5 days turned to 10-13 day's so I have to order my meds much earlier than before. There's no one running the FBI These days?

[georgegoldsmith]

The longer he stays the more damage he will do to destroy mail in voting his one and only reason for being put there in the first place. Difficult to understand how any Gov dept can work with such rules.

[ajrimmer]

Louis Delay strikes again! He's like the Lex Luthor of the Trump villains.

[kvdgadj]

Why is he still working for the post officer. He try to fix the election in trump favorite.

[kathrynshaw]

If we continue to be stuck with DeJoy, perhaps we can find a way to permanently slow him down just like he's done for our Postal Service. So many people in this country rely on the mail for delivery of packages because of their disabilities, it's not fair to leave such an important service in the hands of a Trump mobster. Let's throw him in prison where he belongs.

[k.p.]

Bravo Rachel!!! I am an online retailer and I have serious issues with USPS!!! Only Rachel covers this serious issue!!!

[PeterKaitlyn]

Why not just fire his boss... and install someone who will dump this guy...
Better yet indite him for his crimes...

[MJ-fyno]

Seriously, why can't the Democrats turn up the heat on this guy?

[niarazu]

This man takes DeJoy out of everything.

[FearsomeRZ]

I'm glad you feel as I do about this story and that you keep reporting on it. I have never experienced a delay in USPS mail, however, since DeJoy has taken over it has never been on time. Shouldn't the President be able to fire any government employee? This should be changed, it's ridiculous that President Biden can't remove this un-American Ahole. Oh, and what about instituting a conflict of interest clause while we're at it.

My kid sister in Long Island posted me a Christmas card in early December, which took a somewhat delayed three *months* (mid March) to crawl all the way to Home in the Republic of Ireland. She'd have been quicker to take a *really* deep breath and walk home under the Atlantic Ocean to hand-deliver it. She's forever complaining about how awful the post service is in America now.
