President of the American Postal Workers Union Mark Dimondstein on Thursday called it “truly shameful” that President Donald Trump would “hold the post office hostage,” amid the coronavirus pandemic in an attempt to suppress and discourage Americans from voting.
Also,
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf and his deputy Ken Cuccinelli are ineligible to serve in their current roles because their appointment violated federal law, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruled today.

Keanu Reeves in Speed…said “Make a loop”
Make a loop of what this man is saying, and why he is saying it.
God damn it, now we’re getting somewhere. They’re just straight-up trying to steal this election.
One does not “accuse” a perp who has publicly confessed to the crime.

“Let me add that to my list of crimes,” Toadglans said, instructing Kayleigh Macroninny to bring him a new Sharpie and another package of legal pads.
If I could, I would hire 1,000 skywriting planes with this message.
Or have the WH leak it.
Donald won’t rest until the US mail is as slow as Eric and Don Jr.
It’s down to this …
Pres. Obama …
“What we’ve seen in a way that is unique to modern political history is a President who is explicit in trying to discourage people from voting.
"What we’ve never seen before is a President say, ‘I’m going to try to actively kneecap the postal service to discourage voting and I will be explicit about the reason I’m doing it.’”
Where are the congressional Democrats who should be screaming about this every day?
Where are Biden and Harris?
Can’t there be a court injunction to stop this?
This is election treachery in broad daylight.
Trump’s plan is diabolical. If he “wins”, I will not accept him as my legitimate President, as none of us should. What that means in terms of real world actions (other than participating in massive protests), I still have to think through. I’ll have to brush up on my Ghandhi and MLK.
What do we say about this article from 2016? All of Obama’s nominees for the USPS Board Of Governors were blocked by Sen. Bernie Sanders, so that when Obama left office there were 8 empty seats on a 9 person board and those positions ended up being filled by Trump. The USPS BOG is the only body that can fire the Postmaster General. And they are packed with Trump loyalists because of Bernie.
We say (and I say, as a dedicated Bernie-opposer) “We deal with NOW, Election season 2020.”
New meaning to the expression, “the check’s in the mail”.
And the reality is:
Trump has packed the USPS BOG with his loyalists who are endeavoring to destroy the USPS, in order to win re-election.
That is–at a bare minimum–an Impeachable Offense.
W/o the OLC memo, it should merit arrest, trial and imprisonment for Trump.
ETA…this thread should have several hundred comments. It’s that important.
Nobody but those who already sing in the choir watches O’Donnell. Either this guy and what he has to say get coverage beyond O’Donnell, prospect.org and Common Dreams, or we don’t get an enraged and engaged public.
Trump is trying to destroy the USPS and he’s capable of doing irreparable damage. This is critical, and not just an election issue. From last May:
Now’s the time for anybody with a megaphone-- to start yelling for the cameras.
Enough of it-- and he backs down. Trump always backs down.
Time for the House to hold a hearing. Pronto.
