Louis DeJoy Resigns Amid USPS Reform Discussions

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has resigned after nearly five years, with Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tulino stepping in as interim head of the USPS. DeJoy, a former logistics executive and Republican donor, initiated significant restructuring efforts to address the agency's financial woes, which have resulted in over $100 billion in losses since 2007. His tenure was marked by controversy, with criticism from Democrats and postal workers concerned about potential cuts and the agency's future. DeJoy's resignation follows discussions with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency for further reform assistance, as well as President Trump's suggestion to merge USPS with the Commerce Department. The USPS Board of Governors has initiated a search for a permanent successor while considering ongoing challenges and calls for privatization. Despite the push for reforms, DeJoy's leadership remains divisive, with some praising his efforts and others viewing his tenure as detrimental.
