Summary

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) agreed to cut 10,000 jobs under pressure from Elon Musk, sparking outrage from Democrats.

Rep. Gerald Connolly warned that Musk and DOGE could push for USPS privatization, harming rural and vulnerable communities.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy defended the cuts, citing USPS’s financial struggles and praising DOGE’s cost-cutting approach. Musk has openly supported privatization.

Postal worker unions pledged to fight any threats to employees’ rights. The USPS has already reduced its workforce by 30,000 since 2021.

    You earn power by showing you will responsibly use what little power you do have. By not fighting as hard as they can, Democrats are demonstrating that they do not know how to responsibly use power, and they do not deserve more of it.
