After all, he’s a crony of Tangerine Idi Amin. It’s even worse that this bag of rotten eggs and excrement is from my home state.🤬

Sen. Warren was my pick for President, then for vice president, I'll settle for A.G. We NEED this ferocious fighter where she can FIGHT!

She would be replaced, at least temporarily, by a Republican governor, and it could make the difference in which party controls the Senate. She can get a lot done there, too.

in his administration, you can bet they are just as corrupt as he is! It's all about making money off the American tax payers, any way they can.

Every damn one of them needs to be investigated!

to take this job. He flew under the radar so far. Now? People will be digging into his business. And I bet it's pretty dirty.

Good job Senator Warren.

DeJoy is there to enrich himself and destroy the postal service. The media needs to hammer information about his past infractions constantly until he is forced to resign. He is already in violation of government ethics for lying to Congress. I’m sure there’s more to his history. The fact that he’s a job killer should be emphasized in this pandemic era when many jobs have just disappeared.

“His company has a terrible labor record, rife with red flags including sexual harassment, discrimination, speedup, workplace injuries, excessive use of temps, misclassifying workers as independent contractors, and inadequate sick leave during the current pandemic.
...
Not surprisingly, DeJoy has a bad labor record. While he was CEO, New Breed acted with “anti-union animus,” the National Labor Relations Board ruled in 1994, when it avoided hiring Longshore (ILWU) union members after securing a contract to run a U.S. Army terminal in Compton, California.

In 2013, a Tennessee jury awarded $1.5 million to three temp warehouse workers at New Breed in a sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit. The workers had been fired for complaining about a manager’s “unwelcome sexual touching and lewd, obscene and vulgar sexual remarks.” The employee handbook, which had sexual harassment protocols, was purposefully kept out of the hands of temps—who made up 80 percent of the workforce.

In 2014, the New York Times reported, four women working in a Memphis warehouse for New Breed suffered miscarriages after supervisors refused their requests for light duty during their pregnancies.”

Tie things up! Make him wish he'd never met trump, for all trouble and headache and legal bills it's been worth.

The Republicans won't reign him in but, if he's a Trump crony, he's crooked as a dogs hind leg. It shouldn't take log to dig up criminal dirt on him. Make him afraid he'll go to jail. Get the SDNY to start something - no pardon option there!

Especially if it is white collar crime. He needs to receive more than just fines.
