Elon Musk's DOGE to review U.S. Postal Service cuts

forbes.com

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has signed an agreement with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to review potential cuts to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This includes examining mandates for six-day delivery and rural service. DeJoy's request for DOGE's assistance comes amid discussions about overhauling USPS, with reports that former President Trump wants to move the agency under the Department of Commerce. This could lead to significant changes in how USPS operates. DeJoy, who plans to step down, has faced criticism for previous cost-cutting measures that led to mail delays. The future of USPS remains uncertain, with potential legal challenges to any proposed cuts or structural changes.
