With the federal hiring freeze lifting in mid-July, the Trump administration has rolled out a controversial federal hiring plan that critics warn will politicize and likely slow down the process rather than increase government efficiency.

De-emphasizing degree requirements and banning DEI initiatives—as well as any census tracking of gender, race, ethnicity, or religion to assess the composition of government—the plan requires every new hire to submit essays explaining which executive orders or policy initiatives they will help advance.

    It also requires essays on applicants’ commitment to upholding the Constitution, furthering government efficiency, and maintaining a strong work ethic.

    As though it’s remotely possible to support both Trump and the constitution.

      All the court cases are part of the strategy.

      Force the Left to spend money to fight in court, while the taxpayers foot the bill for Donnie’s lawyers.

      It makes us weary, and drains out wallets.

    That must be the hiring based on qualification initiative that the DEI haters were ranting about.

    It will make it more efficient because there is no need to consult decisions when all your minions will say yes.

    Say the allegiance!

    Do I have to?

    Yes!

    I pledge allegiance to Trump of the United Corporations of the world and to the corporations for which they stand one world nation under Trump with trickle down economics for all.

    If I was in a position where I could work for the government at all, I’d take the job, swear whatever they wanted me to, then make sure I hurt them as badly as possible. After all, they swore to uphold the constitution, didn’t they?
