An 82-year-old Texas man waited more than a week for his heart medication to arrive, thanks to USPS

An 82-year-old Texas man told KHOU that he's waited 10 days to receive his heart medication, longer than he's ever waited for the medication to be delivered by the postal service.

In the meanwhile, his daughter was able to get him a temporary supply of the medication from a pharmacy at a local grocery store, he told the news outlet.

This isn't the fault of the USPS.
Running up the chain of command, it's on DeJoy, on Trump, and on Vladimir.

This is all on Trump and DeJoy. Our Postal Service is extraordinary.
