Reports suggest Donald Trump plans to move the U.S. Postal Service under the control of the Commerce Department following the retirement of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. Media outlets, particularly PBS and the Washington Post, have repeatedly suggested this is a precursor to privatization, though no formal evidence of such a plan exists. The USPS lost over $9 billion in the last fiscal year, partly due to pension pre-funding requirements.

### HEROES Act Negotiations, Postal Service Reform

- **Episode:** [1269: pre-bunked](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1269-pre-bunked.md)
- **Published:** 2020-08-16
- **Time:** 2:16:57–2:22:55

President Trump is using USPS funding as leverage in negotiations for the HEROES Act, opposing the $1 trillion requested for state bailouts. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's removal of mail-sorting machines is framed as a long-term shift toward package delivery to make the service profitable and challenge Amazon's low shipping rates. The hosts argue that the "mail-in voting crisis" is a predictable result of a lack of infrastructure for universal mail-in ballots.
