Donald Trump has signed a new executive order that introduces \u201cSchedule G,\u201d a new category of federal jobs that will give him much more control over who stays and who goes in government roles that shape policy. In short, if someone in a federal job doesn\u2019t support Trump\u2019s agenda, this change would make it easier for him to fire them.<\/p>\n

These new positions will be labelled \u201cnon-career,\u201d meaning they\u2019ll likely only last as long as Trump is in office. Supporters of the move claim it will help government agencies, like Veterans Affairs, run more efficiently and make it easier to fill important roles. They also say it\u2019s meant to \u201cclean up corruption\u201d in Washington and get rid of what Trump calls the \u201cdeep state.\u201d<\/p>\n

But critics say this is just a sneaky way to fill top-level government jobs with Trump loyalists. Don Moynihan, a public policy professor, explained that there\u2019s no limit on how many of these Schedule G jobs can be filled, and it opens the door to even more political influence in positions that are supposed to serve the public, not any one person or party.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t Trump\u2019s first attempt to do this either. In his first term, he introduced \u201cSchedule F,\u201d which tried to strip job protections from federal employees, making it easier to fire them without clear reasons. He\u2019s also pushed for cutting back union rights and removing long-standing protections for civil servants.<\/p>\n

All of this fits into a broader conservative plan called \u201cProject 2025.\u201d It\u2019s a blueprint for what a second Trump presidency might look like, and one major goal is to turn regular government jobs into politically controlled roles, so the president doesn\u2019t get as much resistance from within the system.<\/p>\n

Max Stier, who runs the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service, says this is a dangerous move. He argues the president already has plenty of power to appoint people through existing systems and that turning more federal jobs into political ones will just make government services more chaotic. A steady, neutral civil service, he says, is crucial for making sure things work for everyday Americans, no matter who\u2019s in office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
