Trump’s corrupt, unqualified cronies got the boot just after Biden took office.

We all knew Trump had put horrible people in different positions throughout the government but man oh man were they horrible.
First, Biden terminated Michael Pack, who was confirmed to head the U.S. Agency for Global Media in June. Pack sought to transform the agency, which oversees the international broadcaster Voice of America, into a propaganda outlet for Trump—despite a statutory mandate that prohibits such political interference. He purged the staff of VOA and its sister networks, replaced them with Trump loyalists, demanded pro-Trump coverage, and unconstitutionally punished remaining journalists who did actual reporting on the administration.
In a perverse move, he refused to renew visas for foreign reporters who covered their home countries, subjecting them to retribution by authoritarian regimes.
Pack also illegally fired the board of the Open Technology Fund, which promotes international internet freedom, and replaced them with Republican activists.
Then he fired a woman who was the director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. She got rid of a rule that restricted predatory payday lending and refused to enforce a law that specifically protected members of the military from predatory lending.
And then a guy who was head of the National Labor Relations Board who was, naturally, vehemently opposed to unions.
I'm sure Biden is looking at all the different agencies and departments. I knew Trump was going to be bad when he was elected but I had no idea just how bad he would be.
