The U.S. Postal Services has agreed under pressure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut 10,000 of its workforce.
It comes as Elon Musk insists America is not a true democracy if judges who attempt to block President Donald Trump's cost-cutting agenda are permitted to keep their spot on the bench.
Another federal judge ordered probationary government employees laid off in this year's mass firings be rehired.
Trump clarified earlier this month that Musk's job at DOGE is to recommend areas where the federal government can slash waste and save taxpayers money.
The president told his Cabinet officials that they would be in charge of implementing these recommendations at their respective departments and agencies to bring them into compliance with his agenda.
Meanwhile, USPS Postmaster General Louis DeJo signed an agreement with DOGE to cut thousands of jobs and billions of dollars from its budget.
DeJoy sent a letter to members of Congress on Thursday informing them of the agreement with DOGE and the General Services Administration (GSA).
'Fixing a broken organization that had experienced close to $100 billion in losses and was projected to lose another $200 billion, without a bankruptcy proceeding, is a daunting task,' DeJoy wrote.
He added: 'Fixing a heavily legislated and overly regulated organization as massive, important, cherished, misunderstood and debated as the United States Postal Service, with such a broken business model, is even more difficult.'
