  • Let me get this straight: At the same time as Republicans trying to increase the workload at the USPS by eliminating the de minimis exemption for tariffs, DOGE is reducing the capability of the USPS to handle tariffs.

    Department officials announced the cuts Tuesday, raising questions about the agency’s ability to continue usual operations.

    The Trump administration had already been whittling the agency’s staff, though buyout offers and the termination of probationary employees. After Tuesday’s layoffs, the Education Department’s staff will sit at roughly half of its previous 4,100, the agency said.

    The layoffs are part of a dramatic downsizing directed by Trump as he moves to reduce the footprint of the federal government. Thousands of jobs are expected to be cut across the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration and other agencies.

    The department is also terminating leases on buildings in cities including New York, Bosto
