Summary
Senator Josh Hawley is demanding Postmaster General David Steiner resign over chronic mail delivery failures in Missouri, blaming systemic issues and accusing top officials of ignoring problems while rewarding themselves. Steiner defended his record, citing November meetings with lawmakers and delivery stats showing most mail arrives on time, while also calling for civility and respect—especially given his Southern upbringing. Hawley doubled down on social media, dismissing Steiner’s tone as irrelevant and insisting Missourians simply want reliable mail service. The clash underscores the friction between political accountability and bureaucratic reality, with postal workers caught in the crossfire.
