Summary
Donald Trump plans to take control of the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) by firing its governing board and placing it under the Commerce Department, led by Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Experts warn the move likely violates federal law, as USPS was established as an independent entity under the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act.
The Postal Board, in an emergency meeting, has hired legal counsel and gave instructions to sue the White House if the president removed board members or altered the agency’s independent status.
Trump has long criticized the USPS and has floated privatization, sparking backlash over concerns of political interference and mail disruptions.
Their pensions! Omg you are right.
Serves anybody right who voted for this jackass, but I’m sorry for all of the rest of us.
Yep. Those pensions are about to be stolen just like they did at Hostess back in 2013.
