Even as Trump tries to disavow the rightwing blueprint, both have similar plans to replace many federal employees

Even as Donald Trump seeks to disavow Project 2025, he and the rightwing effort’s authors have voiced similar hostile plans for the US’s 2 million-plus federal employees – to replace many of them with political appointees.

These plans are stirring alarm among federal employees, with many warning that “politicizing” the civil service will hurt not just them, but also millions of Americans across the US by undermining how well the US government provides services and enforces regulations that protect the public.

    People often forget that a huge amount of civil servants are DoD/military. Both pure civil servants and national guard and reservists doubling up federal service.

    There’s an alarming number of MAGAts in that field.

      Still confusing that anybody in the military still supports him after the awful shit he’s said about them.
