Ummm, it’s just a rule. What’s to prevent any future president from undoing the rule? It needs to be a law to protect people, and good luck with this house.
This is the whole thing Trump’s Mass Undoing has proven, our legislature is spineless and refuses to perform their jobs. Make laws. Make amendments to the Constitution.
Aaaand, Trump ignored it. How could we have known??
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Joe Biden’s administration issued a new rule on Thursday making it harder to fire thousands of federal employees, hoping to head off the risk that if Donald Trump wins back the White House in November he won’t be able to bully and decimate the workforce as he imposes the radical ideologies he’s been pushing on the campaign trail, escalating what he did while in office.
New regulations coming out of the government’s chief human resources agency, the Office of Personnel Management, will bar career civil servants from being reclassified as political appointees or as other at-will workers – who are more easily dismissed from their jobs.
In a statement issued Thursday, Biden called the rule a “step toward combatting corruption and partisan interference to ensure civil servants are able to focus on the most important task at hand: delivering for the American people”.
That plan calls for vetting and potentially firing scores of federal workers and recruiting conservative replacements to wipe out what leading Republicans have long decried as the “deep state” governmental bureaucracy that allegedly worked against Trump from the inside.
Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, which has led a coalition of nearly 30 advocacy organizations supporting the rule, called it “extraordinarily strong” and said it can effectively counter the “highly resourced, anti-democratic groups” behind Project 2025.
“This rule is about making sure the American public can continue to count on federal workers to apply their skills and expertise in carrying out their jobs, no matter their personal political beliefs,” Shriver said on a call with reporters.
The original article contains 703 words, the summary contains 261 words. Saved 63%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Combating project 2025 sounds awesome. Unfortunately it looks like it will be possible for Trump or any other Republican to change the rule back. The article calls out legal challenges but with Heritage foundation fail son money it will just be a delay.
Still go out and vote. Get everyone you know to vote.
Would be great if he just focused on not supporting a genocide so Trump doesn’t have a chance.
If you think that’s all it would take, that that many Americans care more for the Palestinians than do support Israel, then I think you may have been consuming not enough diverse media.
Just because there are many loud opponents doesn’t mean the votes he’d lose from pro-Israel blocks would be made up by the anti-genocide voters.
Would be a more productive use of the administration’s time than a rule that can be undone just as easily.
You’re absolutely correct that many Americans don’t care about Palestinian people, but the ones that do could very well swing the election. Each day the lip service continues that number grows. We are currently at “I’m warning you, for real this time” levels.
Maybe some of the dozen of you, but then you remember that at the end of the day, you only have two options, and one is definitely the better option, even if it’s not a good situation. Be critical, that’s good and healthy, but it should not matter come Nov.
There are more than a dozen Muslim Americans dude and your patronizing of the pain in their community is everything wrong with libs.
You think that me exaggerating the relatively low number people that are being critical of Biden is patronizing to all Muslim Americans, but you saying that all of the entire community is so mad that you’re at, “I’m earning you, for real this time” levels, isn’t? This feels like more of an insult to the Muslim community than saying there aren’t a enough willing to sway the election.
Edit: Also I never mentioned anything about the pain they’re going through. I empathize and personally not happy with the current state of affairs, but I’m gonna go out and cast my vote for Biden in November, unless somehow, someone more progressive leap frogs him and Trump isn’t eligible. So I very much didn’t patronize the situation and grief, just the numbers.
Supporting the genocide probably helps him in the polls.
