Dissolving the USPS Leadership: A Shift in Power
The U.S. Postal Service's governing board is expected to be dissolved, and the agency will be placed under the control of the Commerce Department as part of a broader shift in power under President Donald Trump. This move marks a significant change in the postal service's operations and governance structure, raising concerns about its ability to maintain independence and serve the public interest. The dissolution also reflects Trump's efforts to consolidate power within his administration.

- How will the USPS's newfound control under the Commerce Department impact its role in regulating the private delivery sector and enforcing postal regulations?
