Since 1970, the Postal Service had been an independent agency, walled off from political influence. The postmaster general is not appointed by the president and is not a cabinet member. Instead, the postal chief is picked by a board of governors, with seats reserved for members of both parties, who are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate for seven-year terms.

Now, not only was the Trump administration, through Mr. Mnuchin, involving itself in the process for selecting the next postmaster general, but the two Democratic governors who were then serving on the board were not invited to the Treasury meeting. Since the meeting did not include a quorum of board members, it was not subject to sunshine laws that apply to official board meetings and there is no formal Postal Service record or minutes of what was discussed.

Nyt

Nothing is illegal anymore. Except protesting.

Thanks, Barr and senate.

Isn’t it illegal for Sec of Treasury to be interfering with the USPS?

False, there was absolutely a spike.

Uh, nope. Nice try, though.

More than three weeks after 413,000 Wisconsin voters went to the polls, there has not been the spike in COVID-19 cases attributed to the election that many feared.

It's amazing how this cost reduction effort aligns almost perfectly with blue state areas.

Which is especially messed up given that it’s way easier and cheaper to deliver in denser areas. Rural home delivery ought to be totally phased out if we’re going on a strict cost reduction plan.

Gee, I wonder why the cheating GOP is doing this.

These are mail sorters, not delivery machines. They serve the whole country, including both urban and rural.

I just keep thinking: how bad were the GOP’s internal polls for them to attack this Constitutionally mandated agency? I know they’ve been attacking the USPS for years and years, but to just go for broke... they must have shown an absolute rout.

Let’s rout out the traitor party in November no matter how we vote.

Damage done. It will take months to order and reinstall and calibrate new sorting machines to replace the ones that were trashed.

Governors should call in the national guard to help with sorting.
