Democratic House Rep. Katie Porter is at it again with her famous, reliable whiteboard and marker, this time with her sights set on Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. And boy, did she destroy him.
To set the scene here, allow me to remind you that Katie Porter, before getting her start on Capitol Hill, was a law professor after graduating from Yale University and Harvard Law School. If anyone knows how the standard grading scale works, it’s Porter. And today, she wielded that knowledge against DeJoy like a finely-sharpened spear, to statistically prove to him as well as the rest of the world that he is absolutely, categorically, and undeniably failing at his job.
Holding her whiteboard like a shield and her trusty marker like a sword, Porter fired off:
The audit found that by the spring of 2020, mail delivery was right around 92 percent — that is 92 percent of the mail got there within the standard of on time. That dropped to 80 percent by the fall of 2020, and by January of 2021 was hovering around 61 percent. I realize this has gone up somewhat since then, but I wanted to ask you, when did Mr. DeJoy take over as postmaster? Do you know?”

The witness in question responded, “The summer of 2020.”
“I’m a professor, and I used to do a lot of grading,” Porter said, trucking right along. “And 92 is considered widely like an A-minus, 80 is considered hanging on, hanging on to the lowest possible B. 60 percent is at best a D-minus. The Postal Service delivers 48 percent of the world’s mail. It is an institution, it is a civic treasure. And we let it get all the way, what you found, is we let it get all the way down to that D-minus level.”
Ashamed yet, Louis? Cause ya should be.

On-time mail delivery has plummeted under Postmaster Louis DeJoy—forcing veterans to wait longer for prescriptions, seniors to scramble to pay bills without their Social Security checks, and communities to feel less connected.
