The US Postal Service has faced significant financial losses, exceeding $69 billion over 11 years. Current Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, appointed in 2020, has been embroiled in controversy and criticized by Democratic lawmakers for his overhaul plans. The USPS, delivering 48% of the world's mail, is considered a civic treasure but is struggling. Congresswoman Katie Porter highlights its decline to a 'D minus' level.
