Wrote LinkedIn Post Attacking the Trump Administration Over Schedule F

Ms. Joyce has a minimal online presence, which makes the subjects over which she does post even more revealing, as it suggests she holds strong beliefs on the subject.  

In 2021, Ms. Joyce wrote a LinkedIn post in opposition to the Trump Administration’s actions on Schedule F.  She calls government bureaucrats “world class, non-partisan, professionals” and claims “[W]e deserve better than this in return.”

Ms. Joyce’s post leads one to believe she values her bureaucratic colleagues over the elected political leadership of the nation.

I know that I worked hard for this Administration for four years — just as hard as I worked for the Administration that came before it. I have given freely of my evenings, weekends, and holidays— whatever it took to get the job done. My colleagues did too. They have been nothing but world class, non-partisan professionals in the face of significant challenges. We deserve better than this in return.

Schedule F was a job classification briefly instituted under President Trump that allowed the president to dismiss high-ranking civil servants involved in policy making decisions from their positions – a crucial tool to stop unelected bureaucrats from impeding the policies of the elected president.

Studied Under Walter Mondale

Following the 2021 death of former Vice President Walter Mondale, Ms. Joyce posted to LinkedIn about her experiences as a student with him at the University of Minnesota.

While it’s natural to post condolences following a mentor’s death, the fact that one of the most left-wing political figures in American history was one of her mentors speaks volumes.
