Postmaster General Louis DeJoy Fails to Answer Basic Questions About the Mail by House Dems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Postmaster General Louis De Joy was grilled by Democrats Monday as he
testified before the House Oversight Committee about recent changes at
the U.S. Postal Service. De Joy struggled to answer basic questions,
including about mail-in voting during the 2016 elections and the cost of
mail. He also refused to provide justification for recent changes at the
Postal Service, which has led to a slowing down of delivery times and
has prompted fears Trump is deliberately trying to sabotage the USPS in
the run-up to the elections.

In related tech news, Twitter flagged a Trump tweet that claimed
mailboxes are a "voter security disaster" and "not Covid sanitized."
Twitter said the tweet made "misleading health claims that could
potentially dissuade people from participation in voting."
