Keith’s note: According to Politico: “The Office of Personnel Management has formally submitted draft regulations that would make it easier for agencies to fire career government officials who push back against presidential orders. … The draft regulation’s title, “Improving Performance, Accountability and Responsiveness in the Civil Service,” carries out Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order on the federal workforce. Excerpts note it “will allow agencies to quickly remove employees from critical positions who engage in misconduct, perform poorly, or obstruct the democratic process by intentionally subverting Presidential directives.”
