"The delays were particularly tragic for live animals, including baby chickens, that are transported through #USPS. Usually, mail handlers can hear the birds peeping and rustling around in their boxes …
Instead of hearing the gentle sounds of baby chicks, she heard nothing."

“By statute @USTreasury was made responsible for providing the Postal Service with a line of credit.
Treasury was using that responsibility to make demands that I believed would turn #USPS into a political tool, ending its long history as an apolitical public infrastructure.” https://twitter.com/arappeport/status/1296549269529341953

Former vice chairman of #USPS Board of Governors: “I expressed concerns after each of the interviews with Louis DeJoy. I urged that a background investigation be conducted.

In addition to the life-endangering delays of medication + economic hardships caused by late checks and payments, how many millions of dollars' worth of food and merchandise has been destroyed due to Trump's #USPS sabotage? https://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1296519964589993985?s=19
For decades, #USPS postal carriers have delivered day-old chicks, ducklings and all manner of plants and animals to small farmers and families with backyard hen houses.

“This is an attack on a tried-and-true service that rural America depends on,” said @ChrisRGibbs, a farmer in western Ohio.
"It pulls one more piece of stability, predictability and reliability from rural America. People don’t like that.” https://twitter.com/Otpor17/status/1296908162348482560

"The post office is the only institution mandated to serve them at a flat cost, no matter the weather or how remote they were.
Like a hospital, school or grocery store — all of which have closed across rural America — a post office anchored a town’s survival." #USPSisEssential https://twitter.com/Otpor17/status/1296908162348482560
