The reinstatement of "Schedule F" by President Trump poses a significant risk to the nonpartisan nature of our civil service, allowing for dismissals based on political loyalty. We must advocate for policies that preserve the impartiality and effectiveness of federal agencies. https://buff.ly/4g6VdXK

“At issue is the top job at the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, the federal agency responsible for monitoring compliance with federal anti-corruption laws, which has been vacant for over a year. The position — which is appointed to five-year terms so that it overlaps administrations — is critical during a presidential transition, since the office vets new White House appointees to make sure they comply with ethics laws.”
