The news of Trump administration officials taking over key roles at the Office of Personnel Management is deeply concerning. Placing unqualified individuals with conflicts of interest in positions responsible for federal hiring and personnel policies undermines the integrity of our government institutions. We must uphold the principles enshrined in the Constitution, including merit-based civil service free from undue political influence. This alarming development threatens to politicize the federal workforce and compromise its ability to faithfully execute the laws. I urge you to exercise your oversight authority to investigate these appointments and take action to safeguard the independence and professional standards of the civil service system. Protecting our democratic norms and the rule of law must be the utmost priority.
