tj (i make it past the end)<p>US PEOPLE DUE MAY 23, 2025</p><p>(from Chanda Prescod-Weinstein's email)</p><p>"Schedule F is one of the systemic changes that frightens me the most.</p><p>What’s Schedule F? It’s a proposal by the Trump Administration to remove safeguards that ensure federal civil servants are a politically independent body. </p><p>Imagine the career civil servants who safeguard drinking water being selected by Nestlé after they’ve paid for a fancy dinner at Mar-a-Lago. Imagine Chevron choosing the clean air regulators at EPA after they’ve made a big donation to JD Vance. Schedule F is a fucking disaster. </p><ol><li><p>Go to this link: <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2025/04/23/2025-06904/improving-performance-accountability-and-responsiveness-in-the-civil-service" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">federalregister.gov/documents/</span><span class="invisible">2025/04/23/2025-06904/improving-performance-accountability-and-responsiveness-in-the-civil-service</span></a></p></li><li><p>Copy and paste the below into Submit Comment field and edit as you see fit</p><ol><li>I oppose this proposed rule in its entirety, and every section of the proposed rule, as it allows for the reintroduction of a "spoils" system to the federal civil service. The proposed rule allows any given Administration to replace the nation's professional cadre of policy experts who serve the Constitution across Administrations with individuals who subordinate their duty to the Constitution and the law to partisan loyalties.</li><li>I oppose the creation of the Schedule Policy/Career as a new category of Excepted Service under 5 CFR Part 213. Moving career civil servants into a category of at-will employment makes those civil service positions vulnerable to political manipulation and influence, including by putting those employees at risk of termination should their efforts to uphold the federal oath of employment to defend the Constitution conflict with a political appointee's belief that the employee has failed to "faithfully implement administration policies to the best of their ability," as required under the proposed amendment to Sec. 213.3501(b).</li><li>I oppose the amendment of 5 CFR part 752 that removes the right of career civil servants to appeal the transfer of their position into an Excepted Service category, including the proposed Schedule Policy/Career category. The removal of such protection violates the Fifth Amendment due process rights of federal civil servants, specifically by removing the employees' interest in their tenure protections. See Cleveland Bd. of Educ. v. Loudermill, 70 U.S. 532, 541 (1985).</li><li>The proposed amendments to 5 CFR Part 213 and 5 CFR part 752 are, additionally, contrary to Congress's intent to create a merit-based civil service free from undue partisan political influence, in accordance with the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 and the Civil Service Due Process Amendments Act of 1990. Congress has determined that an effective and efficient federal civil service must be protected from partisan and improper influences. The current Excepted Services categories are intentionally limited and narrow in scope to properly carry out Congress's intent. OPM may not choose to disregard Congressional mandates in the manner proposed in this rule."</li></ol></li></ol><p><a href="https://diaspora.im/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://diaspora.im/tags/US" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>US</span></a> <a href="https://diaspora.im/tags/ScheduleF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ScheduleF</span></a> <a href="https://diaspora.im/tags/CivilServants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilServants</span></a></p>

a hopeful socialist<p>I've never been the sort of <a href="https://toots.matapacos.dog/tags/leftist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>leftist</span></a> to unironically want to burn it all down.
