US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday stating that only “[t]he President and the Attorney General shall provide authoritative interpretations of the law for the executive branch.” The order covers all federal employees and agencies, including independent agencies operating under the executive branch of the US government. Historically, independent agencies exist outside the executive branch and are largely independent of presidential control.

The agencies should maliciously comply. Start putting requests on how to interpret the executive orders (like the DEI thing), how to interpret every rule each organization is tasked with, how to define every ambiguous aspect, since Trump and Bondi clearly want to do the entire federal government's job for them. Simply inundate them with requests.

I don't know if I would call "life" a toy, but I guess everyone is different.
