Today is the one year anniversary of us calling for Louis DeJoy to be fired. Here’s why he needs to go:
Louis DeJoy donated over $2M to support Trump and the RNC, evidently enough to get him and his wife two powerful roles in the Trump administration. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
DeJoy is the first person in decades to lead the USPS without prior experience as a letter carrier or working within the agency. He was reportedly recruited by Steve Mnuchin despite his lack of experience--we’re investigating that. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
DeJoy had maintained financial ties to his old employer, XPO Logistics. Last night, we had a huge win in the fight for answers about DeJoy’s financial interests: a judge ordered USPS to turn over docs about Louis DeJoy's potential conflicts of interest. citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…
DeJoy bought $305k in bonds from the investment firm of a member of the USPS Board of Governors--someone who has a say in whether or not he keeps his job. washingtonpost.com/business/2021/…
DeJoy is under federal investigation for reportedly operating a scheme where he asked employees of his company to make campaign contributions, then arranged for bonus payments to reimburse the employees. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
DeJoy apparently violated federal criminal laws by commanding the USPS to make policy changes at the agency that would depress or delay voting by mail in the 2020 election.

Bottom line: Louis DeJoy has overseen an attack on the Postal Service and on American democracy itself.

The USPS Board of Governors must fire him before it’s too late. citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…

BREAKING: To live at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump listed himself as the resort's president, entitling him to on-site housing as an employee. In a recent filing obtained by CREW, Trump has been removed from Mar-a-Lago's leadership.
Back in January, the Trump Org named Donald Trump president of Mar-a-Lago, which appeared at the time a transparent attempt to get around local zoning rules
Following this change, Palm Beach ruled that since he was the president of the club and therefore a "bona fide employee," he was entitled to living quarters there to do his job. palmbeachdailynews.com/story/news/202…

Six months ago today, insurrectionists stormed the Capitol building. We’re still furious, and still fighting for accountability. Here’s what we’ve done, what we’re doing, and how you can help:
We filed two criminal complaints against Donald Trump: one in Fulton County, GA after he pressured GA Sec of State Raffensperger to overturn the election results and one to the DOJ and FBI for seditious conspiracy. Trump is reportedly under investigation by the Fulton County DA.
We’re suing multiple agencies, including DOJ, DHS, DOD, the Army, and Interior to find out exactly how they prepared for and responded to the violence. We already know that DHS Federal Protective services downplayed warning signs leading up to the attack. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…

You’ve heard about Toyota. Now let’s talk about @Cigna.
Like Toyota, Cigna is supporting insurrectionist members of Congress. And many of the insurrectionists Cigna has donated to since January 6th work on healthcare issues--issues that Cigna has a stake in.
Take Rep. Bill Johnson, for example. Rep. Johnson sits on the House Energy & Commerce Committee which plays “a key role” in developing America's healthcare policies, per his website. He also voted to overturn the election. Cigna gave him $2,500 after that vote.

Bad news: As of today, Louis DeJoy has been postmaster general for A FULL YEAR.

Good news: The USPS Board of Governors can fire him, and they need to do it now. We have a whole year’s worth of reasons why.
Let’s start at the beginning. Before his nomination, DeJoy and his wife were prolific political donors. From 2016-2020, DeJoy donated over $2M to support Trump and the RNC, evidently enough to get him and his wife two powerful roles in the Trump admin. citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
Louis DeJoy was reportedly recruited by Treasury Secretary Mnuchin despite being the first person in decades to lead the USPS without prior experience as a letter carrier or working within the agency. We’re still fighting for more information on this.

A year ago, peaceful protests for racial justice across the country were met with undue force by the Trump administration and local police forces. The public deserves to know exactly how their government worked to target and suppress protestors.

We’re fighting for answers.
On June 1, 2020, Trump and Bill Barr had peaceful protestors violently cleared from Lafayette Square so Trump could have a photo op. We’re suing for records on how that was allowed to happen. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…
We also have an ongoing lawsuit against DOJ and DHS for failing to turn over documents on federal officers’ role in policing anti-racism protests. citizensforethics.org/legal-action/l…

Update on our case about the memo Bill Barr relied on to justify saying the Mueller Report did not support obstruction charges against Donald Trump: we just filed our opposition to the government blocking the full memo from coming to light immediately.
The DOJ only released a few paragraphs of the 9 page memo, but even that is significant. Let’s talk about it.
The documents show that DOJ wasn't deciding whether Trump obstructed justice, they were deciding on a PR strategy.

How do we know?
