🚨 🚨#BREAKING @GovernorBullock suing USPS and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, saying the USPS didn't follow required procedures to make policy changes. He appears to be the first governor to make such a move, after multiple attorneys general filed suit in Aug. #mtnews #USPS

The suit says unlawful actions have directly harmed Montanans by "impeding the flow of mail, including medical prescriptions, replacement parts for farm machines, utility bills, stimulus checks, application materials, and other essential communications." #mtnews #USPS

The court filing specifically mentions our @NBCMontana reporting on leaked photos of disassembled sorting machines and removed collection boxes in Montana. It was filed in U.S. District Court in Great Falls just now. #mtnews #USPS

In the suit, @GovernorBullock asks the court to declare DeJoy’s policy changes unlawful, permanently prohibit the USPS from implementing harmful actions and immediately require the USPS to undo the newly implemented changes. #mtnews #USPS
