Ali Velshi continues his deep dive inside Project 2025, the nearly 1,000-page conservative playbook for a new Trump administration. Donald Trump’s more extremist ideas in his first term were stymied by senior federal government employees — civil servants whose job it is to employ their expertise at nonpartisan policymaking in the interests of the American people and independent of the president or any other elected officials. Project 2025 includes a blueprint called Schedule F for purging our federal government of these civil servants in favor of political loyalists.
Originally drafted in 2020, Schedule F outlines how the future second Trump administration plans to reorganize the federal workforce to place policy-making and policy-advocating positions under the direct control of the president, removing civil service job protections and allowing presidents to dispose of experts that defy their will and appoint those who will unquestioningly do what the president demands.
Velshi sits down with longtime civil servant Olivia Troye to get an understanding of how undermining federal civil service will affect every American’s daily life.
