      Dismantling the system of merit hiring for government posts and returning America to the full-throttle corruption of the 19th century would be the logical endpoint of Trumpism.https://twitter.com/AndrewFeinberg/status/1252746015309991936 …

      Buried in this @dlippman piece is a terrifying item: The acting @USOPM director “questions the constitutionality of the 1883 Pendleton Act, which codifies using merit to pick government officials, and believes that all executive branch employees should be political appointees.” https://twitter.com/dlippman/status/1252730538642886659 …

          You think they're aware that Garfield was assassinated by a political appointee who had lost his job?
