USPS cuts 10,000 jobs, partners with DOGE

The United States Postal Service (USPS) plans to cut 10,000 jobs as part of a new partnership with DOGE. This decision was made by outgoing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who cited financial pressures and the need for efficiency. DeJoy emphasized that USPS must operate without taxpayer support and needs to adapt to modern demands. He acknowledged the challenges posed by outdated practices and regulations. Concerns have been raised about employee safety and data privacy in light of the partnership. The National Association of Letter Carriers expressed worries about potential access to member information by DOGE.
