INBOX: @realDonaldTrump has signed an executive order which removes a civil service protections from a large swath of positions "of a confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating character" that don't turn over with each administration.
The order creates a "schedule F" for such positions and places them in the excepted service, which makes it easier for them to be fired (for say, disagreeing with the president on a matter of public health).
IMPORTANT: This appears to be prospective, but would still cover a significant number of positions within government that are currently filled by tenured civil servants but who @realDonaldTrump would prefer to fire for being disloyal (see Fauci, Anthony)
