Something extraordinary happened in Washington on February 5th, 2026, and the mainstream media desperately wants you to ignore it. President Donald Trump signed an executive order implementing Schedule F policy that strips civil service protections from approximately 50,000 federal employees involved in policy decisions – and The New York Times buried it on page six below the fold.
Ask yourself why.
The rule, officially called Schedule Policy Career, targets roughly two percent of the entire federal workforce – the unelected bureaucrats who operated as a shadow government for decades. These deep state operatives made decisions affecting your daily life without any accountability to the voters who pay their salaries. They slow-walked Trump's policies during his first term, distributed literal guidebooks on sabotaging executive orders, and quietly undermined everything from immigration enforcement to dismantling DEI programs.
Four Years of Surgical Planning
Trump didn't waste his four years out of office. He spent that time planning this exact moment with surgical precision, identifying every position and every person standing in the way of the America First agenda. The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 blueprint laid the groundwork for dismantling the administrative state that has terrorized working Americans for generations.
According to reporting from Next News Network's Gary Franchi, agencies now have until April 20th to submit their lists of employees to be reclassified. The Office of Personnel Management is restructuring whistleblower protections, and the cold math reveals only 4,000 of the 2.2 million federal employees are currently political appointees. That means the vast majority of government has been operating without any real oversight from elected leadership.
"The myth that government workers cannot be removed has now been shattered," former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel confirmed.
The establishment's reaction is predictably hysterical. The American Federation of Government Employees is threatening lawsuits. PBS is framing it as an authoritarian power grab. Federal judges are scrambling to intervene. But none of that changes the reality that elections have consequences, and the American people voted for this.
The deep state spent decades building a fortress of unaccountable power inside the federal government. They never expected someone to show up with a wrecking ball. Schedule F is that wrecking ball, and it's swinging. What's happening right now will fundamentally reshape the relationship between We the People and our government for generations.
Patriots, this is exactly what we voted for. The purge of the administrative state has begun.
