To bypass laws enacted by Congress that protect career civil servants from being fired for political reasons, Trump issued an Executive Order just before the election creating a new classification of federal employees, "Schedule F," who can be terminated without cause. 5/ https://t.co/r2OE3ZkZ7v — PolitiTweet.org

Congress passed the Pendleton Act in 1883 to end this practice (the "spoils system"), and over time created a permanent, professional civil service that works for the American people, not the benefit of one person. Trump is trying to undo that now. 4/ https://t.co/n9yeQr6yMB — PolitiTweet.org

The White House ordered every agency to reclassify some of its workforce as Schedule F by January 19, 2021, the day before the Inauguration. At the time, Trump believed he would get a second term, and planned to fire protected employees like Dr. Fauci for imagined disloyalty. 6/ — PolitiTweet.org
