There are about 4,000 political appointees, a majority of which are replaced by a new president, normally.
Schedule Policy/Career (formerly named Schedule F) is a planned executive order by the Trump team to replace about 50,000 state employees to seize control over various parts of the government

The 10,000 replacements must be unique positions.
This will resolve based on credible media reports.
I will not bet in this market in case resolution is controversial
Update 2025-02-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Important Clarification:
All appointments count regardless of the legal method used.
A name change (e.g., from Schedule F to Schedule Policy/Career) does not affect the resolution criteria.
1,000
3.00I presume a mere name change doesn't affect the market. Currently the program is no longer known as Schedule F but Schedule Policy/Career. Maybe clarify that it still quacks like Schedule F and waddles like Schedule F... @Siebe
@JussiVilleHeiskanen it's purely about appointments, no matter which legal method is used, so a name change definitely doesn't affect things. Thanks for the heads up though! Lots happening
