   Oh yes, this president really advocates for the working class. I'm sure whatever billionaire gets the contract to provide the mail will charge such reasonable fees.

   "President Donald Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration, potentially throwing the 250-year-old mail provider and trillions of dollars of e-commerce transactions into turmoil."

   "Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as this week to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board and place the agency under the control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals."

     @briankrebs The one question on my mind with every one of these stories: how will it affect the next elections (both midterm and presidential)?

     he's already fired people protecting against foreign influence and election security: https://www.npr.org/2025/02/11/nx-s1-5293521/foreign-influence-elections-cisa-trump

     taking over USPS will affect mail in ballots.

     I believe him when he says he wants a third term, and I wonder if we're seeing parts of his strategy in securing one.
