Dear Friend,

It’s been 18 days since Donald Trump was booted out of office and sent
back to Mar-a-Lago.

But Trump appointees are still filling key positions all over the federal
government, and they will continue to do immeasurable damage until they
are gone.

For instance, Social Security Administration Commissioner Andrew Saul, one
of the worst of Trump’s appointees, is still in office—where he can
continue his attempts to slash benefits and undermine workers.^1

Demand Progress is mobilizing grassroots pressure calling on President
Biden to weed out every last Trump political appointee, and we need your
help to reach out to more people and get them to take urgent action.

administration and to support all our urgent work?

Trump Social Security Administration Commissioner Andrew Saul has been
orchestrating a severe underfunding of the agency that has resulted in
field office closures and customer service cutbacks—resulting in long
phone lines and people not getting the checks they need.^2 He's also
worked to undermine the SSA's union in an effort to get rid of it
entirely.^3

But Saul could be in office until 2025, when his term runs out.^4

Another example is Louis DeJoy, the postmaster general responsible for
throwing the U.S. Postal Service into disarray over the past six months.^5
He should never have kept his job this long.

Biden has the power to directly fire nearly all of Trump's political
appointees, a power recently reaffirmed up by the Supreme Court. And he
can appoint new members of the Postal Board of Governors in order to get
rid of DeJoy. Will you stand with us by making a donation to help weed out
Trump appointees from the Biden administration?

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll donate today.

Thanks for standing with us.
