DOGE holds meetings with White House, new postal leadership and Treasury to discuss reforming USPS

The White House and its Department of Government Efficiency are spearheading efforts to shake up the Postal Service, according to details of the meetings obtained by Government Executive, with topics including pricing for mail and general reform proposals.

The meetings were not clearly within the scope of a memorandum of understanding former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy signed with DOGE, which focused on specific cost-cutting measures and real estate planning. Some of the meetings also involved top officials from the Treasury Department, White House attorneys and policy advisors and additional USPS executives. A source familiar with the meetings confirmed DOGE has been active at the Postal Service’s Washington headquarters in recent months.

The meetings began in late March, just days after DeJoy resigned amid pressure from the Trump administration. Acting Postmaster General Doug Tulino met with DOGE the day he was sworn into his new role to discuss ethics, according to details from the meeting. Two DOGE team members—Alex Simonpour and Ethan Shaotran, both of whom have MOUs of their own with USPS—were present, along with other postal executives.
