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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
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

Political loyalty tests will destroy the professionalism of our indispensable public institutions. https://t.co/akDNCnbIR9
Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
It wasn't always this way. There was a time when an incoming president handed out government jobs to loyalists and supporters after taking office, and the civil service constantly turned over with administrations. That was terrible for the country. 3/ https://t.co/VYmx8U8xpD — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Don Beyer @RepDonBeyer
Presidents appoint leaders of federal agencies, for instance Cabinet secretaries and their staffs, but most civil servants are career federal employees, a professional staff that provide continuity no matter which party is in power. Congress passed laws to create this system. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

This is an extremely important story that isn't getting the attention it deserves. After GSA initiated the presidential transition, I warned that there would still be new Trump sabotage to come. This is exactly what I was concerned about. Here's what's happening-- 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Pardoning Mike Flynn, who lied to the FBI and plead guilty, is an act of extreme corruption. That we expect such underhanded behavior from Donald Trump, the most corrupt president in our history, makes it no less wrong. Donald Trump is crooked. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. saw more jobless claims *last week* than in any week on record before 2020 – the 36th week in a row when that was the case. 20+ million are on unemployment benefits, over half of whom will lose all income next month unless Senate Republicans act. What a disaster. — PolitiTweet.org
