How Project 2025 and Trump's 'Agenda 47' Seeks to Politicize the Federal Government and Undermine Civil Service

  • yesterday
Donald Trump and rightwing supporters are reviving plans to replace large portions of the US federal workforce with political appointees under "Schedule F," stirring concerns about the politicization of civil service. Project 2025, backed by the Heritage Foundation, and Trump’s “Agenda 47” propose reforms enabling the president to fire “rogue bureaucrats” and fill jobs with loyalists. Unions, public policy experts, and federal workers warn this would hurt government performance, weaken protections, and undermine professionalism.
