Is this part of project 2025? Get everyone to leave, then hire party loyalists. If a democrat or, dare I hope, a progressive wins next election, the courts will suddenly decide that federal workers cannot be fired without just cause. Now the government is filled with workers who will refuse to implement the administration's agenda.
One of its key proposals is to restructure and politicize the federal workforce, replacing many civil service positions (which currently have protections and merit rules) with loyalists and more direct presidential control.
The blueprint explicitly calls for reclassifying or converting many civil servants into political‐appointment roles and weakening civil service rules.
Mass layoffs or deferred resignation aren’t called out specifically.
