In today's news so absurd you can't make it up, the new head of OFCCP is Catherine Eschbach. Who, you ask? Oh, just SpaceX's lawyer.
What does OFCCP do, you ask? Make sure federal contractors obey nondiscrimination laws.
(Except not anymore because Trump revoked a decades-long executive order.)

Trump’s budget dissolves what’s left of OFCCP & proposes a civil rights office with just 110 employees to uphold the rights of the 16 million workers who are veterans or disabled and all workplace safety whistleblowers.
For comparison, OFCCP had too few at 492 FTEs

The OFCCP has been a lot more effective, in many ways, than the EEOC in ensuring fairness for women and people of color because it proactively audits contractors instead of passively receiving complaints and investigating them. Now this.
BREAKING: In a new executive order sent out by the White House, Donald Trump has revoked the federal contractor nondiscrimination executive order, EO 11246, that was signed by Lyndon Johnson in 1965 and has protected employees of businesses seeking federal contracts from discrimination ever since.
