Trump just signed order "reclassifying" ~8,000 civil servants so they are easier to fire for political reasons -- this has been in the works since his first term www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

Roughly 8,000 career federal employees were stripped of their civil service protections Wednesday, making them effectively at-will employees.

From Trump's order — which explains the Appendix that I discussed about (in regards to the CDC): https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/06/implementing-schedule-policy-career-in-the-excepted-service/

Sec. 5. Schedule Policy/Career Determination and Transfer. (a) The positions set forth in the Appendix to this order are determined to have a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character. It is further determined that it is necessary and warranted by conditions of good administration to except these positions from the competitive service because of their confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character.

(b) The positions set forth in the Appendix to this order are hereby placed in Schedule Policy/Career of the excepted service. Subsequent changes to a listed position description’s numbering or a position’s organizational realignment do not alter its placement in Schedule Policy/Career.

(c) The head of each agency with positions covered by subsection (b) of this section shall within 7 days of the date of this order:

(i) notify officers or employees encumbering such positions of their placement in Schedule Policy/Career; and

(ii) conform agency records and practices to reflect the changes made by this order.
