The U.S. Postal Service plans to consolidate some services to regional hubs in Kansas City and St. Louis. Critics say the move will hurt rural customers, especially people who rely on the mail for their medication delivery.

Organizations representing rural communities and Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley have pushed back on a proposal that the U.S. Postal Service says could save it billions per year.

Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab, a Republican who serves as the state’s chief elections officer, told Postmaster General Louis DeJoy there was cause to be “extremely concerned” about “a troubling pattern that persists in the U.S. Postal Service’s processing and handling of ballots.”

Each Christmas season for over a century, the United State's Postal Service has delivered letters from children to the jolly old elf as part of 'Operation Santa.'

The Kansas City Area Transit Authority is launching a new app for visually-impaired and blind commuters, and the United States Postal Service's 'Operation Santa' goes virtual this year.

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy says workers have stopped dismantling mail-sorting machines, but those sorters already hauled out to the curb will likely never be used again.

USPS users are bearing the brunt of mail delays and the service's financial shortcomings, Kansas and Missouri Democratic Party delegates are adjusting to a virtual version of their national political convention, and the medical marijuana program in Missouri has a deadline of late-September.
