White House Creates Merit-Based Schedule Policy/Career in the Federal Service to Boost Accountability

The White House issues an executive order moving senior policy-influencing roles into a Schedule Policy/Career in the federal excepted service to improve accountability and merit, amends Civil Service Rules and related Executive Orders to allow merit-based appointments and clearer removal for misconduct, creates a separate performance-award pool and a presidential award program, and directs OPM to issue revisions within 60 days; agencies must notify incumbents of placement within seven days, and an appendix lists the affected positions.

Trump Signs Executive Order Ending DEI Practices in Federal Contracting

President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting racially discriminatory DEI practices by federal contractors and their subcontractors, requiring a DEI-discrimination clause in contracts under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act, directing the OMB to issue compliance guidance and identify risky sectors, and allowing contract termination, suspension, or debarment for noncompliance. The order also directs the Attorney General to pursue False Claims Act actions and to align Federal Acquisition Regulations to enforce the ban, framing DEI as costly and counter to merit-based, efficient government contracting; it forms part of a broader effort to end DEI across the federal government.

The head of financial risk management at Silicon Valley Bank UK had spent months leading LGBTQ campaigns for the company before its collapse.
