Here’s a breakdown of some of the highlights from @lovenheim.

And here’s a copy of our lawsuit against Postmaster General #DeJoy and others. Summed up: They failed to follow the process required by law to change the rules mid-stream, and violated state rights. #USPS https://t.co/McKKO4mWDZ

FROM OUR LAWSUIT AGAINST #DEJOY: Postal Service employees received a “Stand-Up Talk” in which they were told it was okay if “mail is left behind for the day” & acknowledged these CONSEQUENCES, as if to put profit over people receiving Rx medication, paychecks & more: pic.twitter.com/TLyYcv0Egv

If ever we needed a window into how Trump’s team illegally works to overhaul critical govt. missions, let this be it. #USPS is the 1 agency we all have routine contact with (see @helaineolen WaPo column). #DeJoy & co. tried to pull a fast one on all of us: https://t.co/McKKO4mWDZ

During Friday’s hearing, DeJoy insisted it was his “sacred duty” to ensure that voting by mail works in November.
