Such #CivilServants in #nonpartisan roles traditionally have had #JobProtections that shielded them from the political whims of whoever was in the White House.

But #Trump & many of his backers have long believed the #ConspiracyTheories that a "deep state" of Washington bureaucrats was undercutting his agenda.

Toward the end of his first term, Trump signed an EO establishing a #ScheduleF category for federal employees.

The #EPA plans to demote career employees who oversee scientific #research, the #enforcement of #pollution laws, #HazardousWaste cleanup & the agency’s HR dept & replace them w/ #political appointees.

The move would give #Trump #loyalists more #influence over aspects of the agency that were traditionally led by #nonpartisan #experts who have served across Republican & Democratic admins.
