As DeJoy readies new assault on Postal Service, pressure grows for Biden to 'clean house' rawstory.com/louis-dejoy/
"We want a Board of Governors that understands fundamentally this is not called the United States Postal Business. It's not a profit-making business. It's here to serve the people."
—Mark Dimondstein, American Postal Workers Union
Meanwhile, the Post noted, "congressional Democrats are pressing President Biden to install new board members, creating a majority bloc that could oust DeJoy, a Trump loyalist whose aggressive cost-cutting over the summer has been singled out for much of the performance decline."
Appointed unanimously by the Trump-appointee-dominated Postal Service Board of Governors in May despite his complete lack of experience with the Postal Service,
DeJoy wasted no time imposing sweeping operational changes at the mail agency that resulted in precipitous drops in performance in the weeks ahead of, during, and after the November presidential election—
"prompting accusations of politically motivated sabotage of the nation's most popular government institution."

Please fix this, Mr. President. @JoeBiden

CNN's Erin Burnett lays out damning Capitol riot timeline showing Trump's complicity rawstory.com/trump-capitol-…
"2:23 p.m., this is on television," said Burnett, showing CNN coverage of protesters breaching the Capitol. "At 2:24, Trump tweeted about the man presiding over the Senate floor that time, his vice president.
'Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done, giving states a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent inaccurate ones. USA demands the truth.' The record leaves no question of whose side Trump was on in the deadly riot."

The courts could hold Trump accountable if Republican senators refuse: legal expert rawstory.com/could-courts-h…
Trump didn't have to march with the crowd to do something illegal. Federal law says any person who "counsels, commands, (or) induces" anyone to commit a crime is also guilty. That means Trump. So, what happens to the former president after his Republican allies let him go?
"Once Trump's senate fraternity brothers and sorority sisters give him a pass, the real question is whether the Department of Justice will make good on its name by conducting a full investigation into the many activities of Trump that appear criminal," wrote Stern.

Pelosi can blackball Republicans who backed Trump’s election plot from serving in Congress: report rawstory.com/2020/12/pelosi…
"That’s because Section 3 of the 14th Amendment literally says that anyone who has tried to rebel against the Constitution after having pledged to protect it can’t hold political office. "
2/ "This would include any GOP House members who signed onto an amicus brief supporting Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s bogus Supreme Court case seeking to toss hundreds of thousands of votes in four swing states, so that Trump can steal a democratically decided election."
