Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to cut 10,000 workers and billions of dollars from the U.S. Postal Service budget. Heā€™ll do that working with Elon Muskā€™s Department of Government Efficiency. A letter sent to members of Congress on Thursday says DOGE will assist the U.S. Postal Service with addressing ā€œbig problemsā€ at the agency. USPS has sometimes struggled in recent years to stay afloat. The agency listed such issues as mismanagement of the agencyā€™s retirement assets and Workersā€™ Compensation Program. USPS employs about 640,000 workers. Neither the Postal Service nor the Trump administration did immediately respond to emails requesting comment.
