Biden s USPS board nominees aren t likely to oust DeJoy, postal insiders say
The First 100 Days: President Biden Takes Office
Replay Video UP NEXT Critics of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy hoped Thursday s confirmation hearing for President Joe Biden s three nominees to the U.S. Postal Service s governing board would mark the beginning of the end for the embattled mail chief. But even if Biden s picks are approved by the Senate, industry insiders suspect the board is unlikely to have enough votes to oust DeJoy, in part because its chairman Ron Bloom, a Trump-appointed Democrat has recently expressed strong support for the postmaster general.

Charlie Crist banks $347K in Q1 as he mulls next political step
U.S. Rep.
Charlie
Crist is sitting on more than $646,000 in his federal campaign account for reelection to Florida’s 13th Congressional District in 2022, according to the latest financial filings with the Federal Elections Commission.
In the
first quarter of 2021 covering Jan. 1 through March 31, Crist raised $347,188. After accounting for $120,000 in expenditures during that period, Crist grew his federal account by about $227,000.
Crist is so far unopposed for reelection next year, but that’s almost certain to change, especially with reapportionment after the 2020 census expected to alter district boundaries, potentially skewing Crist’s existing district more to the right.

Local postal facilities were hit hard by COVID-19 in recent months amid an ongoing mail slowdown due to increased demand and a series of changes rolled out by the Trump administration.
Workers say there’s a growing sense that management, at both the federal and local level, are dangerously complacent as they repeatedly fail to properly sanitize work stations, perform contact tracing or add staff to fill vacancies.
