DOGE announced that the United States Postal Service will cut 10,000 jobs. The move was agreed to by outgoing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. In a letter he sent to Congress, DeJoy said USPS would work with DOGE to “identify and achieve further efficiencies.”

“The scale of our daily work is unprecedented and extraordinary; our infrastructure has greatly deteriorated due to years of underinvestment, and our operating practices were for a postal environment of long ago that were never adjusted as the times and our business changed,” DeJoy said. “We are encumbered by many unreasonable rules and regulations that handcuff our service expectations and, in many instances, that were a barrier to meaningful change.”
