The deep state fortress that has controlled Washington for decades just took a devastating hit. On February 5th, President Donald Trump signed an executive action implementing Schedule F—now called Schedule Policy Career—stripping civil service protections from approximately 50,000 federal bureaucrats involved in policy decisions.
This is the wrecking ball patriots have been waiting for, and the mainstream media's deafening silence tells you everything you need to know. The New York Times buried this earth-shaking story below the fold on page six. Ask yourself why.
The Shadow Government Exposed
For decades, these unelected bureaucrats operated as a shadow government, making decisions affecting your daily life without any accountability to the voters paying their salaries. They slow-walked Trump's policies during his first term, literally handed out guidebooks on how to sabotage executive orders, and quietly undermined everything from immigration enforcement to dismantling DEI programs.
The numbers are staggering: only 4,000 of the 2.2 million federal employees are currently political appointees, meaning the vast majority of government has operated without real oversight from elected leadership. That ends now.
"Trimming the fat….50,000 Bureaucrats get canned. Policymakers? High paid regulating pain in the asses are gone," posted @SKenosky on social media, capturing the sentiment of millions of Americans.
Trump spent four years out of office planning this exact moment with surgical precision, identifying every position and every person standing in the way of the America First agenda. The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 blueprint laid the groundwork for this historic restructuring.
Establishment Meltdown
The reactions from the swamp are predictably hysterical. The American Federation of Government Employees is threatening lawsuits. PBS is framing it as an authoritarian power grab. Federal judges are scrambling to intervene. But none of that changes the reality that elections have consequences, and the American people voted for this.
Agencies now have until April 20th to submit their lists of employees to be reclassified. The Office of Personnel Management is restructuring whistleblower protections. The myth that government workers cannot be removed has been shattered.
Whether you support Trump or oppose him, what's happening right now will fundamentally reshape the relationship between the American people and their government for generations. The fortress of unaccountable power is crumbling, and patriots everywhere are celebrating this long-overdue reckoning with the administrative state.
