#USPS running out of money and #trump attacks on mail in #voting may work to disenfranchise more rural/conservative voters (on net) by cutting "unprofitable routes".

Might be a blessing in disguise.

I mailed a paper tax return from NJ to Kansas City via Priority Mail on 3/30 at the post office counter. It got to the KC Distribution Center on 4/2, but wasnโ€™t delivered until today. 12 days for Priority Mail.

And so it begins: https://crooksandliars.com/2026/04/usps-disenfranchise-hundreds-wisconsin

Fortunately, our ballots were counted, but some were not in places that are Democratic strongholds. Huh. Weird.

USPS halts pension payments to dodge 2027 bankruptcy as stamp prices rise

The U.S. Postal Service is gasping for air. On Friday morning, April 10, 2026, Postmaster General David Steiner announced a nuclear option to keep the agency

Has anyone asked the question, "Does the #USPS have to make money?"

Do we need to treat a public service as a for-profit business?

Barbara Monaco3d ago

The US post office is older than the country itself. After 251 yrs it's crumbling. It receives no tax payer funding, and its burdensome pension structure is different from all other government agencies.
Postal Service's financial crisis requires immediate attention. The new Postmaster, who sits on the board of Fedex, wants to raise stamp prices to 95 cents and gain the ability to borrow more money to cover its obligations. Service standards will likely be lowered.

USPS to suspend pension contributions, seeks 4-cent stamp price hike

The U.S. Postal Service has decided to temporarily suspend its contributions to Federal Employees Retirement System annuities. This move is aimed at preserving cash and liquidity amid a severe financial crisis. Officials warn the USPS could run out of cash by February 2027. The Postal Service also hopes to increase postage rates, including raising the price of a First-Class Mail Forever stamp. Despite the suspension of the pension payment, current and future retirees will not be immediately impacted. The Postal Regulatory Commission has also granted a waiver in a related matter, allowing USPS to redirect revenue previously earmarked for retiree benefits, providing some financial flexibility.

The US Postal Service is dying by a thousand cuts. They announced today they are suspending matching contributions to employee pensions via the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS).

"Postmaster General David Steiner told members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last month that USPS is set to run out of cash in less than 12 months"
