'...The final rule implements Executive Order 14171, signed by President Trump on January 20, 2025, which directed OPM to modernize how policy-influencing positions are designated and managed across the federal government to ensure that employees holding these crucially important positions can be held accountable for poor performance or misconduct. Schedule Policy/Career applies to a limited set of policy-influencing positions that are confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating in nature. These roles will remain career positions and continue to be filled through merit-based hiring procedures, including application of veterans’ preference, but will no longer be subject to the removal procedures that have made accountability for poor performance and misconduct exceedingly rare.

Bass wanted key findings about the LAFD’s actions removed or softened before the report was made public, the sources said — and that is what happened. ...The key changes she allegedly wanted detailed a failure to fully staff up and pre-deploy all available engines, even though oncoming high-intensity winds and severe fire danger had been widely reported. “The mayor didn’t tell the truth when she said she had nothing to do with changing the report,” one of the sources told the outlet.

Federal law enforcement officers—sworn professionals tasked with enforcing laws passed by Congress—stepped in. Their mission does not change because it becomes uncomfortable or politically inconvenient.
“America First” policies are most effective when federal and local authorities are allowed to work together. We must expand lawful cooperation mechanisms like the 287(g) Program, which allows trained state and local officers to work directly with federal authorities on immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security has massively expanded 287(g) agreements in President Donald Trump’s second term, but unfortunately, many state sanctuary policies prevent more agreements from being signed. ...'
