This #DeJoyHearing is a mess.
* The objective should be to get DeJoy to commit to restoring service and, failing that, set the grounds to impeach him if he doesn't or jail him for tampering with the mail.
* Instead Dems are making speeches about how important the post office is.
By the way, the tech issues now plaguing Rep. Clay... this is just another reason why the Dems should have had one or two people do ALL the questioning, instead of the Little League Baseball rules where everybody gets to play.
AS USUAL, Most Dems act like the point of the hearings is to *show* how much they care, instead of impeaching or jailing Trumpers.

Like Lynch right now. HOW IS THIS HELPFUL? He's just giving a speech about how DeJoy is bad. HOW DOES THIS HELP US STOP HIM?
The institutional failure to adjust to Trump: whether the institution is Congress, the media, various federal prosecutors, is why Trump succeeds.

Trump does unique and devastating things, but the institutional actors do what they've always done.
I'm out. The Democrats think this is a damn show.
