U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress on Thursday that he has signed an agreement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the General Services Administration (GSA) to work with the U.S. Postal Service.

In a letter sent to congressional lawmakers, DeJoy said DOGE and the GSA will assist the independent government agency in “identifying and achieving further efficiencies.”
