Postmaster General pledges to work with Elon Musk's DOGE to address the service's "big problems." USPS currently employs about 640,000 workers tasked with making deliveries from inner cities to rural areas and even far-flung islands.

Louis DeJoy is letting DOGE into the Postal Service. On Thursday, the Postmaster General told congressional leaders that he signed an agreement with Elon Musk’s cost-cutting operation, allowing it to help the USPS save money and remove bureaucratic bottlenecks,

Among the areas DeJoy asked DOGE to target are the mandates that keep the Postal Service operational six days a week and in rural areas.
