AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>As I've mentioned a few times, the Trump regime is undoubtedly aware that there will be opposition inside the US federal workforce to its plans to repurpose the machinery of state to accomplish objectively fascist objectives. Which is of course why they're also working to give Der Leader the power to purge anyone who won't enact their heinous ideology in government, and presumably replace them with Heritage Foundation-trained obedient little nazis; as was leaked during Trump's 2024 election campaign. </p><p>As this Common Dreams article notes, this plan was originally called Schedule F when Trump tried to enact it near the end of his first term, but the fascists haven't abandoned the project because it's a vital step in enacting their reactionary, Christian Nationalist agenda. Now Trump is attempting to progress this ideological purge and restacking scheme forward under a new title, "Schedule Policy/Career," to ensure nobody with a conscience inside the government sticks around long enough to object to their fascist activities.</p><p>Trump Advances Plan to Fill Federal Government With 'Political Cronies'</p><p><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trumps-schedule-f-plan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/trumps-s</span><span class="invisible">chedule-f-plan</span></a></p><p>"Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), said Friday's announcement was the latest "in a series of deliberate moves by this administration to corrupt the federal government and replace qualified public servants with political cronies."</p><p>"President Trump's action to politicize the work of tens of thousands of career federal employees will erode the government's merit-based hiring system and undermine the professional civil service that Americans rely on," said Kelley. "Politicizing the career civil service is a threat to our democracy and to the integrity of all the programs and services Americans rely on."</p><p>On some level, what the regime is attempting to do here amounts to a "jobs for cracker Republicans, and nobody else" program. But none of the stories about Trump politicizing the American government can be properly contextualized in a vacuum. The fact is that this is a fascist regime, attempting to force the entire US government to enforce a fascist "unreality" on society that would justify and enable their Christian Nationalist plans and intentions. Every single horrible thing Trump wants to do, every single idea the nazis want to turn in its head to harm rather than help people, becomes easier if the regime can purge opposition from the government and stack thousands of civil service positions with folks who ideologically support all this fascist bullshit. </p><p>Archived: <a href="https://archive.ph/swEG3" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/swEG3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ChristianNationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChristianNationalism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Purge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Purge</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/IdeologicalPolicing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IdeologicalPolicing</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/LaborRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborRights</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AFGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AFGE</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/EverettKelley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EverettKelley</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>OPM proposes rule to formally revive Schedule F</p><p>The federal government’s dedicated HR agency estimates that 50,000 federal workers will be stripped of their civil service protections and become at-will employees.</p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SchedulePolicyCareer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SchedulePolicyCareer</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.govexec.com/workforce/2025/04/opm-proposes-rule-formally-revive-schedule-f/404699/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">govexec.com/workforce/2025/04/</span><span class="invisible">opm-proposes-rule-formally-revive-schedule-f/404699/</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>The largest federal labor union in the U.S. said Friday that tens of thousands of federal workers could soon “have their jobs politicized” and be swiftly fired under a new rule proposed by the Office of Personnel Management.<br>Under the rule, an estimated 50,000 career civil servants would be reclassified as “at-will” employees, <br>removing civil service protections and making it easier for the federal government to dismiss them.</p><p>Donald Trump and his billionaire ally, tech mogul Elon Musk, have long claimed the federal workforce is rife with “rogue bureaucrats” and is part of the “deep state,” pledging to dismantle the civil service.</p><p>Trump said on his social media platform, Truth Social, that reclassifying workers “will allow the federal government to finally be ‘run like a business.'”<br>“If these government workers refuse to advance the policy interests of the president, or are engaging in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job,” he said.</p><p>Everett Kelley, national president of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), said Friday’s announcement was <br>the latest “in a series of deliberate moves by this administration to corrupt the federal government and replace qualified public servants with political cronies.”</p><p>🔥“President Trump’s action to politicize the work of tens of thousands of career federal employees will erode the government’s merit-based hiring system and undermine the professional civil service that Americans rely on,” said Kelley. </p><p>🆘“Politicizing the career civil service is a threat to our democracy and to the integrity of all the programs and services Americans rely on.”</p><p>The new category for civil servants was originally called <a href="https://c.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a>, but the White House said it was changing the classification to “<a href="https://c.im/tags/Schedule" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Schedule</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Policy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Policy</span></a> / <a href="https://c.im/tags/Career" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Career</span></a>.”</p><p>U.S. Sens. Tim Kaine and Mark Warner and Rep. Gerry Connolly, <br>all Democrats from Virginia whose constituents include many federal employees, <br>said Saturday that <br>Trump’s proposal to “hire and fire these workers based on their politics, <br>not their qualifications… makes us all less safe.”</p><p>The lawmakers have all backed legislation to protect the federal civil service from being reclassified outside of merit system principles without the approval of Congress, <br>and issued a warning to congressional Republicans who have heard from angry constituents in recent weeks about the administration’s spending cuts through the so-called Department of Government Efficiency.</p><p>“Anyone who cares about our national security, or receives Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, <br>or any other critical service administered by the federal government, has a vested interest in protecting our merit-based federal workforce,” <br>said the lawmakers. </p><p>“We have long fought for legislation to protect the federal workforce from this kind of attack. </p><p>To our colleagues who will hear from their constituents if government services continue to decline because of this decision: <br>You were warned.”<br><a href="https://www.commondreams.org/news/trumps-schedule-f-plan" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">commondreams.org/news/trumps-s</span><span class="invisible">chedule-f-plan</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Donald Trump is planning to appoint Russ Vought -- a Christian nationalist who has plotted to remake the federal workforce in MAGA’s image -- to serve as his administration’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to CBS News. </p><p>Vought held the same position during Trump’s first term. </p><p>Since leaving office he has been a leading architect of <a href="https://c.im/tags/Project2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Project2025</span></a><br>-- a sprawling plan to provide staffing and policy options to the next Republican administration.</p><p>In his role at Project 2025, Vought was instrumental in ensuring that 💥decimating the ranks of federal civil service became a conservative priority. </p><p>He wrote the second chapter in Project 2025’s policy book — Mandate for Leadership<br>— titled: “Executive Office of the President of the United States.” </p><p>In it, he argued that<br> “a President today assumes office to find a sprawling federal bureaucracy that all too often is carrying out its own policy plans and preferences<br>—or, worse yet, the policy plans and preferences of a radical, supposedly ‘woke’ faction of the country.”</p><p>As part of his anti-woke crusade, Vought has repeatedly defended and promoted <a href="https://c.im/tags/Christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Christian</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/nationalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nationalism</span></a><br>-- at one point calling for an💥 “army” of right-wing activists with “biblical worldview” to staff the next Republican administration. </p><p>He wrote an op-ed for Newsweek in 2021 with the headline <br>👉“Is There Anything Actually Wrong With 'Christian Nationalism?’” </p><p>More recently, Politico reported that a document from the Center for Renewing America<br> — a MAGA-aligned think tank Vought founded <br>— listed💥 “Christian nationalism” as a top priority for a second Trump term.</p><p>While at the helm of the "Center for Renewing America", Vought has been outspoken in his advocacy of <a href="https://c.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a> — a scheme to reclassify career civil servants as political appointees. <br>💥Trump attempted to implement Schedule F in the waning days of his first term, <br>but its effects were blunted by his loss in 2020. </p><p>If his incoming administration moves forward with the plan -- which seems all but inevitable --🔥 as many as 50,000 career staffers could be replaced with MAGA loyalists. </p><p>(Some other estimates put the number closer to 20,000.)</p><p>Vought has championed the use of congressional rules to defund and remove individual government employees for punishment <br>and deploying <br>💥“ideological purity tests” to ensure federal workers are loyal to Trump.</p><p>During a recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Vought argued that<br>💥 the “whole notion of an independent agency should be thrown out.”</p><p>Following a broad backlash to Project 2025, Vought was caught on hidden video discussing his work at the initiative and how it might play if Trump returned to the White House.</p><p>“Eighty percent of my time is working on the plans of what’s necessary to take control of these bureaucracies, and we are working doggedly on that,” Vought said. </p><p>🔥“Whether it’s destroying agencies’ notion of independence, that they’re independent from the president.”</p><p>In the interview, Vought claimed that he’d been working on <br>“about 350 different documents that are regulations and things of that nature” for a future Trump administration.</p><p>“You may say, ‘OK, DHS, we want to have the largest deportation <br>— what are your actual memos that a secretary sends out to do it?’ <br>Like, there’s an executive order, regulations, secretarial memos,” Vought said. </p><p>“Those are the types of things that need to be thought through so you’re not — you’re not having to scramble or do that later on.”</p><p>This early preparation includes creating documents to facilitate the “largest deportation in history” and to <br>💥deploy the military to “maintain law and order” against civilian protesters. </p><p>Vought elaborated that the mass deportations were part of a plan to “end multiculturalism” in the country.</p><p>As a hardline conservative, Vought has pushed to implement harsh <a href="https://c.im/tags/austerity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>austerity</span></a> measures throughout the country. </p><p>The Washington Post reported that Vought advocates for eliminating trillions of dollars of reductions in “anti-poverty programs such as housing, health care and food assistance.” </p><p>He has called for massive cuts to Medicaid and floated future cuts to Social Security and Medicare.<br><a

Chuck Darwin<p>At the end of his first term, Donald Trump issued an executive order creating a <a href="https://c.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a> category of federal employees, <br>who would be political appointments rather than career civil service workers. <br>If, as expected, Trump issues a similar order in January, <br>the government could fire thousands of workers who would lose their civil service protections in crucial positions in national security, drug safety and public health. </p><p>Trump then could fill those positions with those who are loyal to him and him alone.<br>Stier is particularly worried about lesser-known agencies like the White House Office of Management and Budget, which he described as “the nerve center of our government.” <br>In the first Trump administration, career civil servants in that office gave honest assessments of the effects that various Trump policies would have and of whether they were legal. <br>Once those people are replaced with loyalists, there is a substantial risk that this sort of expertise disappears.<br>“This is a train wreck you can see coming,” Stier said.<br><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/07/opinion/thepoint/trump-civil-service-employees?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nytimes.com/live/2024/11/07/op</span><span class="invisible">inion/thepoint/trump-civil-service-employees?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>A key ally to former President Donald Trump detailed plans to 🆘 deploy the military in response to domestic unrest, <br>💥defund the Environmental Protection Agency <br>and ⚠️ put career civil servants “in trauma” <br>in a series of previously unreported speeches that provide a sweeping vision for a second Trump term.</p><p>In private speeches delivered in 2023 and 2024, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Russell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Russell</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Vought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Vought</span></a>, who served as Trump’s director of the Office of Management and Budget, described his work crafting legal justifications so that military leaders or government lawyers would not stop Trump’s executive actions.</p><p>He said the plans are a response to a “Marxist takeover” of the country; likened the moment to 1776 and 1860, when the country was at war or on the brink of it; <br>and said the timing of Trump’s candidacy was a “gift of God.”</p><p>Vought does not hide his agenda or shy away from using extreme rhetoric in public. </p><p>But the apocalyptic tone and hard-line policy prescriptions in the two private speeches go further than his earlier pronouncements. </p><p>As OMB director, Vought sought to use Trump’s 2020 “<a href="https://c.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a>” executive order to strip away job protections for nonpartisan government workers. </p><p>But he has never spoken in such pointed terms about demoralizing federal workers to the point that they don’t want to do their jobs. </p><p>He has spoken in broad terms about undercutting independent agencies but never spelled out sweeping plans to defund the EPA and other federal agencies.</p><p>Vought’s plans track closely with Trump’s campaign rhetoric about using the military against domestic protesters <br>or what Trump has called the “enemy within.” </p><p>Trump’s desire to use the military on U.S. soil recently prompted his longest-serving chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. <a href="https://c.im/tags/John" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>John</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kelly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Kelly</span></a>, to speak out, <br>saying Trump “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.”</p><p>Other policies mentioned by Vought dovetail with Trump’s plans, <br>such as embracing a wartime footing on the southern border <br>and rolling back transgender rights. </p><p>Agenda 47, the campaign’s policy blueprint, calls for revoking President Joe Biden’s order expanding gender-affirming care for transgender people; </p><p>Vought uses even more extreme language, decrying the “transgender sewage that’s being pumped into our schools and institutions” <br>and referring to gender-affirming care as “chemical castration.”</p><p>Since leaving government, Vought has reportedly remained a close ally of the former president. </p><p>Speaking in July to undercover journalists posing as relatives of a potential donor, Vought said Trump had “blessed” the Center for Renewing America and was “very supportive of what we do,” CNN reported.</p><p><a href="https://www.propublica.org/article/video-donald-trump-russ-vought-center-renewing-america-maga" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">propublica.org/article/video-d</span><span class="invisible">onald-trump-russ-vought-center-renewing-america-maga</span></a></p>
