U.S. Postal Service

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is an independent agency of the U.S. federal government responsible for providing postal service throughout the nation. It's currently newsworthy due to two distinct developments. First, a major USPS union is launching a national TV ad campaign promoting voting by mail. This action is significant because it enters the USPS into a politically charged debate, particularly as mail-in voting has faced skepticism. Second, the USPS is unveiling a new series of postage stamps honoring lowrider car culture. This event is considered historic by the lowrider community, recognizing their cultural impact. These events highlight the USPS's role in both civic engagement and cultural recognition within the United States.
