Donald Trump is planning to take control of the United States Postal Office after firing the entire Postal Board and placing the agency under the control of the Commerce Department. The Postal Board of Governors cannot be legally dismissed without cause, and Trump's attempt to override the system is an illegal takeover that threatens mail in voting, veterans' jobs, and the publica ability to receive affordable mail/postal service. This comes just days after Postmaster General DeJoy announced his resignation following five controversial years at the agency. Beyond delivering mail, USPS is one of the largest employers in the country, with over 635,000 workers- including nearly 100, 000 military and veteran workers. Congress must work not to prevent this blatant power grab and ensure the USPS remains independent, affordable, and accessible to all Americans.
