“Trump is free to spout any partisan nonsense he wants from his giant bully pulpit. But he may not coerce federal employees into joining his choir. I am calling on every agency and Department head implicated in these forms of Orwellian miscommunication to remove them immediately.”
The Trump Admin is using government websites and the emails of civil servants to promote blatantly partisan propaganda about the government shutdown.
This is an intolerable abuse of power and a form of bureaucratic identity theft from federal workers.
