Klobuchar Urges USPS to Change Policy that Hurts Local Newspapers
Position: Senator Klobuchar opposes the USPS Regional Transportation Optimization plan, which lowers service standards and eliminates end-of-day mail collection at most post offices, particularly in rural areas. She argues the policy harms local newspapers and rural communities that depend on timely mail delivery.
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) is calling on the United States Postal Service (USPS) Postmaster General David Steiner to reconsider their recent policy changes that plan to lower service standards and eliminate end-of-day mail collection at most of the nation's post offices, particularly in rural areas, disrupting service for local newspapers. For example, due to this policy change, the Kittson County Enterprise and Northeastern Minnesota's Timberjay newspapers expect some customers will have their papers delayed at least one additional day due to this policy change.
"I write to express concern about the impacts of the United States Postal Service's (USPS) recent policy changes on local newspapers and their subscribers," wrote Klobuchar. "The Postal Service's Regional Transportation Optimization (RTO) plan lowers service standards and eliminates end-of-day mail collection at most of the nation's post offices, particularly in rural areas."
"Local newspapers are already facing an existential crisis with ad revenues plummeting, newspapers closing, and many rural communities becoming 'news deserts' without access to local reporting. Minnesotans depend on local newspapers not only to find out the weather forecast or who won the big high school sports game, but also to keep them well-informed about local issues and hold local government officials accountable," Klobuchar continued. "The United States Postal Service should be helping these local newspapers reach their communities, not making it more difficult for them to do their critical work."

I write to express concern about the impacts of the United States Postal Service's (USPS) recent policy changes on local newspapers and their subscribers.
The Postal Service's Regional Transportation Optimization (RTO) plan lowers service standards and eliminates end-of-day mail collection at most of the nation's post offices, particularly in rural areas. In January 2025, the Postal Regulatory Commission issued an advisory opinion raising serious concerns about the plan's negative impacts on rural communities while slowing mail delivery and failing to save costs. Despite the advisory opinion and opposition from postal workers and customers, USPS has continued to implement the policy which has resulted in disrupted service for local newspapers in Minnesota, especially those serving rural communities.
Local newspapers are already facing an existential crisis with ad revenues plummeting, newspapers closing, and many rural communities becoming "news deserts"' without access to local reporting. Minnesotans depend on local newspapers not only to find out the weather forecast or who won the big high school sports game, but also to keep them well-informed about local issues and hold local government officials accountable. The Postal Service's Regional Transportation Optimization plan — on top of its policy changes and rate hikes in recent years — has real impacts on local newspapers delivery, and local journalism and their subscribers are already paying the price. The United States Postal Service should be helping these local newspapers reach their communities, not making it more difficult for them to do their critical work.
I urge you to address these burdens on local newspapers and ensure that the United States Postal Service is a viable, affordable delivery service for independent newspaper distribution so that the local newspapers that rely on the postal service can continue to serve their communities.

Klobuchar, Cruz, Dean, Salazar Request Information on Implementation of TAKE IT DOWN Act
Position: The lawmakers urge the FTC to enforce the TAKE IT DOWN Act, which requires online platforms to remove non-consensual intimate images within 48 hours and establish clear reporting processes, and request information on the FTC's enforcement mechanisms and resources.
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) along with Representatives Madeleine Dean (D-PA) and Maria Elvira Salazar (R-FL), the lawmakers who led the TAKE IT DOWN Act, are urging that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) hold tech companies accountable should they fail to remove non-consensual intimate images from their platforms as required by the TAKE IT DOWN Act beginning today.
"We request the FTC brief our offices on how it intends to enforce the Act, including updates on what mechanisms it has put into place to respond to user complaints of non-compliance, resources dedicated to investigating non-compliance and bringing cases when non-compliance is discovered, issues the FTC is seeing among online platforms with compliance, and any additional resources or authorities the FTC may require to effectively protect victims and hold non-compliant platforms accountable."
The full letter is available here and below.
There is no place online for the publication of non-consensual intimate images, including those created using artificial intelligence. The distribution of these images pose a serious threat to victims' privacy and dignity. That's why we authored, Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the TAKE IT DOWN Act. As you know, this law immediately put into place criminal penalties for the publication of intimate images without the consent of those involved and empowers victims to seek the removal of these images from online platforms through a clear, easy-to-use, and effective process consistent with the First Amendment. We write to ensure the Federal Trade Commission will use its new authority to protect and assist victims of non-consensual intimate imagery and hold online platforms that fail to take down these images accountable.
Today the provisions of the TAKE IT DOWN Act that require online platforms to remove non-consensual intimate images go into effect. As you know, the Act charges the FTC with ensuring that online platforms (1) establish a process by which victims of non-consensual intimate images—real or AI-generated—may notify the platform of the publication of a non-consensual intimate image; (2) ensure users are aware of how to report non-consensual intimate images; (3) remove offending images no later than 48 hours after receiving the notice; and (4) make reasonable efforts to identify and remove identical copies of the offending images. It is critical that the FTC, consistent with the law, make every effort to ensure that online platforms comply with these provisions beginning today and continue to do so moving forward. To the extent that any online platform is failing to protect victims as required by the TAKE IT DOWN Act, we expect the FTC to hold those platforms accountable, correct any wrong experienced by victims of non-consensual images, and ensure the platform fully complies with the Act on an ongoing basis.
We request the FTC brief our offices on how it intends to enforce the Act, including updates on what mechanisms it has put into place to respond to user complaints of non-compliance, resources dedicated to investigating non-compliance and bringing cases when non-compliance is discovered, issues the FTC is seeing among online platforms with compliance, and any additional resources or authorities the FTC may require to effectively protect victims and hold non-compliant platforms accountable.
We look forward to working with you to ensure robust enforcement of the TAKE IT DOWN Act.
