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.
May he die in obscurity and pain, and burn in hell eternally.
And what ghoul will he pick to replace himself? Not optimistic.
This is the man that decommissioned a very large percentage of our auto mail machines, good way to shit over all the USPS staff and cripple the whole system.
So nice of him to wait until he finished crippling the system and specifically fucking with ballot deliveries and returns and helping orangeboi get in before resigning. Fucking shitbag.
He’s walking away with blood all over himself.

He’ll probably now lead the privatization effort from the corporate side.
Worth noting that Biden chose not to replace him for reasons
Biden couldn’t. Postmaster general is appointed by a board.
The board that Christian Nationalists control.
And the Dems never thought to bring attention to this or change it.
Because they serve the same masters
Isn’t it weird how there’s always an excuse for why the Republicans can dismantle and change the government, but the Dems are powerless given the same set of tools?
He knows he won’t be needed for the next election, because…well, you know.
Why didnt Biden ditch this guy when he had a chance? He could have, if he had shown any spine at all as president. That entire administration let us down badly.
Would have been cool if he did that like 4 years ago.
Fucking corporate media - they mention his ties to the GOP but omit his prior employment with
FedExEd: Whoops, XPO as a commenter below pointed out.If there is a Hell, I hope Satan makes him walk a never ending postal carrier route.
While I don’t trust him, I don’t see the resignation as a good thing. I suspect he was holding back an attempt to privatize and sell off the postal service.
I ebay thrifted stuff for years and it’s really bad since Trump2 started. Anything going in the middle has taken 6-8 weeks via USPS. Been doing this two decades and it would always take 2-5 business days.
It’d be a whole lot cooler if he died tho.
