Postmaster general Louis DeJoy – a top donor to Donald Trump – has already overseen dramatic rollbacks in service during the coronavirus pandemic, as the mail became a lifeline for deliveries, including medicine, and critical 2020 elections across the US depended on increased vote-by-mail options, with Americans avoiding in-person voting and shopping during the public health crisis. “There should not be any toleration for their silence or complicity in overseeing these harmful policy changes that have also eroded the public trust in this agency.” In a post to social media announcing her letter, she called Mr DeJoy “a disaster.” Her letter follows an ongoing appeal to Congress and the president from US Rep Bill Pascrell to replace the entire board. “Their dereliction cannot now be forgotten.” In May, the board unanimously appointed Mr DeJoy to lead the agency, which ordered sweeping service cuts, including removing mail-sorting machines, cutting overtime and removing mailboxes, efforts that saw delivery delays across the US amid a surge in demand. In a statement to NBC News, Mr DeJoy said officials at the USPS have “been working on developing a comprehensive 10-year strategy to address the serious but solvable challenges of the Postal Service that commits to six- and seven-day a week delivery service” with a plan that he says is supported by the board.
