Not only that, we need a Democratic version of DOGE-there's no reason why non-Democrats should be allowed to work in the Federal Government at any level.

Nix on this. We need to return to the professional civil service that goes back to the reforms of Chester A. Arthur. Dragonfire is right to restrict this to political appointees, not career civil servants.
No way. ThatтАЩs ridiculous. The federal workforce does what their bosses tell them (like any good employee would) and they have a ton of experience thatтАЩs invaluable to getting the priorities Democrats want done effectively and efficiently. We canтАЩt just suddenly decide half or a quarter of federal workers can no longer be employed because of partisan affiliation.
TheyтАЩd take the government to court and win, even if progressive Democratic justices are hearing the case. These people donтАЩt suddenly decide not to do their jobs in the way Democrats want them to because theyтАЩre Republicans and if they did, theyтАЩd get weeded out pretty quickly. They do what theyтАЩre asked to, which means the leaders need to go. Different boss = different job description for them to follow.
As a former federal employee, I can vouch for this 100%. I left during sequestration. My colleagues were absolutely on both sides of the middle, but we supported the mission.
