President Trump has said that the federal government will be making a new set of regulations for career government workers to hold them to high standards and classifying them as “schedule policy/career” employees, meaning they can be fired more easily.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Following my Day One Executive Order, the Office of Personnel Management will be issuing new Civil Service Regulations for career government employees. Moving forward, career government employees, working on policy matters, will be classified as “Schedule Policy/Career,” and will be held to the highest standards of conduct and performance.”
