The postal service is planning to start slowing the delivery of first-class mail in an effort to cut costs. It's all part of a 10-year strategic plan outlined by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. Joining Geoff Bennett for an exclusive interview is Amber McReynolds, a member of the US Postal Service Board of Governors. She is one three new members of the Board, nominated by President Biden, and is also CEO of the National Vote at Home Institute.

I want Louis DeJoy removed and divested of any profits he’s made out of this
@James Pritchard I seriously doubt that the intelligence of Samudra is even equal to that of an amoeba. The gibberish that flows through their fingertips, from a congealed and fetid mind of rot and decay, is astounding. And you are on the sidelines, cheering on their inanity and insipid bloviations – that is just as underwhelming.
@James Pritchard Oh, I understand full well that their statement is not scientific. I understand that it is vapid – empty, incoherent, vague, absolutely vacuous, meaningless – and meant only to foment anger, division, and hostility. Much like your comments, Jimmie.
@Phil Groves look in the mirror.
You don’t even have the reading comprehension skills to keep up
For me, the USPS is essentially a Trash Delivery Service. The stuff that packs my mailbox virtually goes straight into the recycling or trash bin.
The Board of Governors appear to be missing the point BADLY. Louis DeJoy is the “face” of the post office and a very healthy majority of Americans don’t trust him. If Ronald McDonald violated campaign contribution laws, gave his previous employer a suspect contract, gave Congress the middle finger during hearings, and was under investigation…do you think McDonald’s would keep him as the face of their business?
Of course killjoy is destroying postal, homies private company will make bank from it!!
Louis DeJoy does NOT have the public trust. Period.
Louis DeJoy does HAVE the public trust period….
@Sun Dial WRONG!!!
@Sun Dial So says a 2 day old account. How’s the weather in Moscow?
Dejoy has corrupted the postal service.
The cell door slams behind DeBoy. A voice in the darkness; “you took my mommas mail? Get them panties off and get up on that. Don’t you ever sass me”
Which is against the law to do. Why is DeJoy even walking free. This is all about money and privatizing– we all know it.
Im sorry but this is outrageous. DeJoy must be removed immediately. He cant be trusted, he has zero credibility, and partisan politics should NOT be influencing our postal service.
@Traitor Joe’s and still haven’t got a clue.
@Traitor Joe’s
DeJoy’s blatant mishandling of the mail at exactly the time mail-in ballots were being turned in, then Trump attacking the ballot process like the hypocrit he is, is the big issue. He did it once, he’ll do it again.
@Dizzy Duke thats what the optics were, not necessarily what was happening. Just as governors don’t listen to presidents, postmasters don’t always listen to the Postmaster General. There were many irregularities on the local levels with people going rogue and mishandling the ballots, delaying delivery and collection, even discarding or destroying ballots.
@James Pritchard you explain it to me then, using terminology relevant to the topic. Take your time.

I think dejoy is holding the mail hostage! He needs to go!!!!!!
Wait – it’s faster right now? Have you actually used it this year? Because it hasn’t gotten any faster for me…
She’s afraid to use her new position. She can bring up issues … doesn’t need to wait & watch.
She could talk about how it is a felony to mess with our postal system. And to steal our machinery and mailboxes. She could talk about how DeJoy should have been arrested prior to the last election the the repubs tried everything in their power to rig and make impossible for us to vote during a pandemic. Yes, we have multi-dimensional issues due to homegrown terrorists. Who needs the Taliban? We have republicans.
I live in Tampa and have been waiting for package that left Jacksonville on Saturday the 14th!!! Originated outside Chicago on the 10th! Then to Chicago then Pittsburgh then Jacksonville !! Dejoy MUST GO!
This person sounds like a CHILD. How can our country remain a democracy while Dejoy takes away rights guaranteed by our Constitution. ? Democracy dies one step at a time. Dejoy is a very bad man
WE ARE WITNESSING the DISMANTLING of DEMOCRACY in REAL TIME, WAKE UP PEOPLE!
@Cabo San Lucas Dirty Martini Wake up…you live in a constitutional republic. You do understand the difference, don’t you?! 🤦
@Neighborhood Watch evidently you don’t understand. The US is Republic AND a Democracy. Yep, the US ‘goes both ways’. Look it up!
“The Mail Must get Through!” …. unless its under the control of Louis De Joy
The fact that an outright criminal like Louis DeJoy still is your Postmaster-General tells you all you need to know about the US political and judicial systems.
Corruption
Higher prices for customers, coupled with reduced business hours and reduction in service quality is the basic mantra of “Make America Great Again”.
It sounds as if the new board members are being too passive. If they haven’t discussed removing De Joy, why not? Raise the issue young lady. The public expect it. Get yourself up to speed.
So she’s playing the Ignorance is Bliss card and that “I’m new” and don’t know what’s going on? C’mon…
Seriously wtaf
sad
Can we recall Amber? She seems weak and naïve.
Dejoy wants to privatize the mail .give the routes to him and his pals .this gal is example of how these guys get away with this b.s. go along to get along
*This McReynolds “member” of the board sounds like she’d be happier if “the pillow guy” lindell was postmaster! Something stinks here! America needs to get to the bottom what has happened at the PO and what “is” happening!*
I would give anything to go back to the pre-DeJoy post office.
“I’ll caveat this, I’m a new member” and I’m just in it for the cassssh.
*She’s an American election administration expert that is now a Postal Service Board member and the exit of Dejoy is NOT “on the table”! Oh really!*
