This July the US Postal Service (USPS) will celebrate its 250th anniversary making it older than the country. Once again it is facing a call for privatization, this time from President Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE.

The same is now true with our current crisis of democracy, as the majority of American voters did not support Trump in the 2024 election.
