Executive order effectively reinstates ‘Schedule F’, which sought to categorize workers as political hires

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.

      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.
