Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

If President Joe Biden had the ability to directly fire corrupt Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, he’d have done it by now. Instead, Biden can only get rid of DeJoy by putting people on the USPS Board of Governors who are willing to fire him, and that requires a Senate confirmation process.

This evening Biden put that process in motion. He nominated three people to the Board of Governors who, based on their track records, seem certain to vote to oust DeJoy. All three of them have to go through the Senate confirmation process, but there is no reason to expect that they won’t be confirmed.

President Biden was always going to find a way to get rid of Louis DeJoy. It’s just that in government, some things take time to make happen. Biden had to get the Senate to confirm his cabinet, which has now nearly fully happened, before he could have the Senate move on his Postal Board nominees. But they’re now next in line for confirmation, and once they’re in place, DeJoy will very likely become the one Post Office layoff we all want to see.
