Front Page Magazine: Malicious Compliance is the First Wave of Fed Anti-Trump Resistance
Trump is experiencing a more favorable reception in his second term, partly due to the surprise of his 2024 victory. A key strategy involves infiltrating his decision-making processes to undermine his policies through "malicious compliance," where federal employees execute orders in ways that create problems.

Instances include the cancellation of accounts for charities and organizations that support conservative causes, raising concerns about vague policies that may allow discrimination.
