Summary

Donald Trump reinstated “Schedule F” via executive order, reclassifying thousands of federal employees as political appointees, making them easier to fire.

The move reverses protections reinstated by Joe Biden in 2021, which aimed to prevent partisan interference in civil service.

This aligns with Project 2025, a plan to replace career civil servants with ideologically aligned personnel.

Critics warn this could degrade government performance, reduce trust, and increase corruption.

While legal challenges are expected, experts believe Schedule F is likely constitutional but will face strong opposition in courts and beyond.

    It’s step one in project 2025. Thanks to all non Harris voters and Trump voters america and possibly the rest of the world are completely fucked. If you didn’t vote for Harris because of Palestine or any other stupid reason, know that it will be much worse with Trump and know that I completely despise you. You know get what you deserve and won’t have the chance to vote for someone better ever again.

      …as if Gaza is the only or the first terrible thing America has ever done. But for some reason that was considered a reason to give us donvict and punish everyone in the country while also assuring Gaza will be worse.

      Fuck the Democratic party for being so unbelievably rigid in their political plans too. We were railroaded into having Kamala be our candidate and she offered nothing but condescension and business as usual. Despite that, fuck anyone who didn’t vote against this happening. Your moral grandstanding will usher in four years of deep uncertainty in the lives of every single innocent person in the world.

    Project 2025. It’s their plan. They wrote it down.

    Now that SCOTUS is natzified, the rest is easy. This guy can literally murder political opponents with indemnity (Trump v. US). This country is too stupid to deserve democracy. Let it burn.

      There’s no such thing as democracy. We had a representative republic for a while, I think. Then it began to metamorphosize into a corporate oligarchy, now it is completing that transition and then some.

      Do something about it then or stop whinging.

          ANYTHING!

          You’ve got 3 firearms per person, fucking use them and stop acting helpless.

              1. Not an anarchist, socialist democracy enthusiast.

              2. Rent my own place and contribute to society.

              3. I’m dealing with issues in my own country and therefore getting my own house in order. Sort your own house out or stop whining that you’re wallowing in sadness and garbage.

              You don’t have to take up arms, but that’s a huge risk when confronting those whom have and want to end your democracy.

              Just do SOMETHING: join one protest, or distribute one leaflet, or donate one time to an organisation that’ll be resisting against the orange fuck.

                I mean, what hoity toity bullshit that you think you can tell someone else what to do when you can’t handle your own shit. Come on over here and solve all of our problems, asshole. You’re very welcome to. Sounds like you have other stuff to deal with. Just shut up.

                  Correction, I’m handling my own shit whereas you’re unwilling to handle yours, and thus we arrive back at my original point: do something about your shit and stop expecting someone else to do it for you.

                  Lazy.

    If a single man can take away your protected status, you were never protected to begin with.

      This is a point well worth making and repeating.

      If there isnt a law recognizing your labor rights, you serve at the whim of the executive. True in government and true in the private sector.

      Random Joes can do far more damage far easier than that. People with server access are extremely rare compared to random people and that damage is limited too.
