The article written by U.S Senator Laphonza Butler focuses on the urgent need to reform the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). Senator Butler refers to the USPS as a “lifeline of our democracy” and emphasizes its importance in delivering mail and packages, and even life-saving medications, to millions of Americans on a daily basis. She mentions that the USPS is obligated to deliver to all U.S. addresses, a task that no other courier service is obligated to do. However, she points out that the USPS is under threat due to long-standing financial challenges and political interference. Senator Butler is urging the Senate to pass the USPS Fairness Act, which has already been passed by the House of Representatives. This act would remove the requirement for USPS to pre-fund its retiree health benefits, a burden not placed on any other federal agency or private sector company.
