The USPS has been at the epicenter of controversy in recent weeks following the appointment of Post Master General Louis DeJoy in May. Since accepting the position, DeJoy has eliminated overtime for postal workers and ordered mail to be delivered the next day when distribution centers are running off schedule in an effort to cut costs—all of which has massively delayed America’s mail system. Additionally, the USPS has plans to remove nearly 700 mail-sorting machines from facilities throughout the States, which could pose another delay in service ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Trump said that he opposes providing additional funding to help the USPS and said that providing the department with the $25 billion funding requested by Democrats would only lead to “fraudulent” in-mail voting.

Public Enemy rapper Chuck D reminded fans on Friday that there is a lot more at stake if the postal service doesn’t get government support. That’s because people in prison and those who have been separated from their loved ones because of their military duties also rely heavily on the USPS.

“To those that think the Post Office is unnecessary have never had a loved one in prison. Medicine and Military look at the mail differently as well. SMDH at any 45 supporter logic..D A F T as in #DumbAsfcukToday,” he wrote.

Dozens of people chimed in with the ways the mail has been helpful for them, whether it be for communicating with those behind bars or sending letters to soldiers stationed overseas.

“I was stationed overseas for many years. Well before internet connections and cell phones. We lived and died by the mail. Plus we voted by the US mail. The #republiklan that is always on about the “Constitution” needs to read the part about the postal service. #MATFA,” one person wrote.

One woman said that she frequently used the USPS to send her husband care packages while he was away.

“My husband is away on a ship serving and mail is definitely a morale boost. I’m constantly sending postcards, packages, and letters every chance I get to keep his spirits up…wtf shame the government is allowing any of this to happen,” she wrote.

A number of people commented on the tweet adding that the mail was also essential for people receiving medication regularly.

“As a vet, my grandfather depended on the @USPS for prescriptions. He passed away in February. I’m glad @realDonaldTrump never got the chance to s**t on him,” one Twitter user wrote.

Although most adults taking prescription medication still frequent their local pharmacies for refills, the National Community Pharmacists Associations’ 2019 report card for Medication adherence in America found that more and more Americans were turning to mail prescriptions for their medication needs. Approximately 20 percent of adults using prescription medication received their medicine via mail. Older people ages 60 to 69–27 percent—were more likely to rely on mail-ordered prescriptions while 25 percent of those 70 and older used the mail for medicine refills.

In a tweet of his own, former President Obama also accentuated how vital the postal service is.

“Everyone depends on the USPS. Seniors for their Social Security, veterans for their prescriptions, small businesses trying to keep their doors open. They can’t be collateral damage for an administration more concerned with suppressing the vote than suppressing a virus,” he wrote.
