His tenure was marked by controversy, including operational changes that sparked criticism and concerns about mail delays. The resignation comes as discussions about potential privatization of the U.S. Postal Service gain traction, with figures like former President Trump and Elon Musk reportedly involved in proposals. Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino has been named interim replacement.

Maybe now we can finally have a real conversation about privatizing the USPS and letting the free market do what the government clearly can't.
Good riddance! DeJoy was a disaster for the USPS from the start, slowing down mail service and pushing harmful policies that only made things worse. Now we have to stay vigilant because the last thing we need is privatization—our postal service is a public good, not a cash grab for billionaires. Let’s push for real reforms that strengthen USPS instead of selling it off to the highest bidder.
