Republicans defend, Democrats decry changes at the U.S. Postal Service

President Donald Trump is standing by Department of Government Efficiency leader Elon Musk in spite of criticism from Democrats from Illinois and around the country.

Union leaders led rallies on Sunday to protest potential changes to the U.S. Postal Service. Trump has suggested a move to privatize the agency or merge it into the Department of Commerce.

U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, posted a video on X from a downtown Chicago rally on Sunday. Durbin said he opposed Musk and others who want to privatize USPS.
