Washington CNN —The Biden administration has finalized a new rule bolstering protections for career federal workers, marking a move to preemptively halt or significantly slow any efforts by former President Donald Trump, should he win in November, to reduce or alter the federal workforce. Critics warned that the order would allow the president to fill the federal workforce with his loyalists. Trump’s executive order created a new classification of federal employees titled “Schedule F” for employees serving in “confidential, policy-determining, policy-making, or policy-advocating positions” that typically do not change during a presidential transition. It strengthens and clarifies existing rights for career civil servants by making clear that civil service protections cannot be taken away from employees unless they give them up voluntarily. “The threat of a politicized civil service is too great, and too real, for this to be the end of our efforts,” he said in a statement.

Michael kept saying, “One of these days.”A couple years later, Bitsy was born, along with Nathan Lane’s character. Like Bitsy, you lost your husband, so the conversation with Carrie about grief at the salon presumably came from something of a real place. He also wanted Bitsy to be a little more than just a funny lady wearing fun clothes, skipping in and out of the girls’ lives. Then, a few scenes later, Bitsy sends Carrie the penis picture while Gloria Steinem is speaking. I’m telling you, there would be a lot fewer wars in the world if people were more sexually satisfied.
