It’s not “losing money” any more than air traffic controllers or public highways or street lights or fire departments are “losing money.” It is a government service. It’s not SUPPOSED to make money. It’s supposed to reliably deliver to anywhere in the US, even the unprofitable places.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Credit is dumb. If I have debt on one of my cards, my score increases. It decreases when I pay it off. If I put debt on another card, my score decreases. Increases when I pay it off. The money I put towards my car loan hasn't moved the needle either way. And I overpay on the loan. Scammer activities

Data centers dominated 2025.

They (shakily) propped up the economy, they got exponentially bigger, and they provoked resistance across the country.

So we spent 2025 covering data centers, and the fight back, from the perspective of working people.

You know in Europe they riot about this kind of thing.
A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.

USPS is a service, not a business. By definition, it cannot "lose" money. It costs money to operate. Its responsibility is not to be a revenue stream, it's to deliver the mail. We don't call the defense budget a "trillion-dollar loss".

Right-wing framing doesn't serve anyone.
🚨SCOOP: Amazon is preparing to sever ties with USPS and expand its shipping network as a true coast-to-coast rival.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.

USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.

We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.
