USPS head Louis DeJoy steps down as Trump officials consider Postal Service overhaul

Louis DeJoy is stepping away from the helm of the U.S. Postal Service, ending a tenure that’s been anything but quiet. Appointed during the pandemic, he oversaw sweeping—often controversial—changes, from cost-cutting reforms to the rise of mail-in voting. His departure, announced Monday, comes amid growing concerns about the Postal Service’s independence and future direction, especially with pressure mounting from Donald Trump and allies like Elon Musk. As DeJoy exits, the road ahead for America’s mail looks uncertain—and highly politicized.
