  • Career civil servants are scrubbing social media, changing job titles and looking for private sector work over fear that Trump may fire them.

The article from MSN discusses the concerns among federal employees about potential purges under a second Trump administration. It highlights how Trump and his allies are planning to overhaul the federal bureaucracy, targeting what they call the "deep state." This includes proposals to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers to make them easier to fire, aiming to replace them with individuals more aligned with Trump's political views. The article mentions the fear among current employees of being dismissed or marginalized, with some considering early retirement or seeking legal protections. It also notes the creation of a group called "America First Policy Institute" by former Trump officials, which is reportedly preparing lists of conservative candidates to fill government positions. This has led to a scramble among federal workers to insulate themselves from these potential changes, with many feeling that their careers and the integrity of their work are at risk.
