HOUSTON KEENE: The Bureaucratic Meltdown Has Already Begun
Opinion by Houston Keene • 15h
It looks as though some bureaucrats in the federal government are already melting down, and some filing lawsuits, over the 45 and 47 president’s doing away with diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and other policies championed under the Biden administration that insulate them from consequences for not doing their jobs.
President Donald Trump’s first four years revealed many things, among the most glaring being the rogue bureaucrats slow-walking or resisting the American people’s agenda. Civil service reform is at the forefront of the conversation, and President Trump has already implemented several executive orders aiming to make our officials more accountable and streamline the federal government.
On Day One of his second administration, President Trump implemented multiple executive orders to address civil service reform. These orders were signed to focus on merit over DEI initiatives; establishing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE); restoring accountability for senior bureaucrats; and reimplementing a modified version of his Schedule F executive order, which reclassifies certain career federal employees.
President Trump is already taking actions so the citizens of the republic should see a needed change in operations to make our federal government more efficient, effective, and fair. But the American people’s mandate also should also be a reckoning for the unelected bureaucrats and special interest groups driving policy in Washington.
