This is insane, and basically a way to encourage federal workers who support the president to bully those who don’t
My god, Trump admin has altered Hatch Act rules so that it is OK for federal employees to display campaign paraphenalia on the job -- but ONLY for the current President/VP, not for any challengers.

Trump Officials Weaken Rules Insulating Government Workers From Politics
A reinterpretation of the Hatch Act announced by the administration lets officials wear campaign paraphernalia like MAGA hats, and removes an independent board’s role in policing violations.

Tim Walz was born on this day in 1964 in West Point, Neb. Governor Walz believes in radical, woke things like feeding schoolchildren, ensuring tax fairness, developing infrastructure, requiring universal gun background checks and protecting women’s rights.

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster.
Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.

Another home swept away in Frankfort, Kentucky.
16 dead in storms across multiple states.
Arkansas, Texas, Missouri & Oklahoma all hit. Mississippi, Tennessee & Kentucky have declared states of emergency.
No word from Trump. But wait for an update on his golf round later…

Being able to heat your home in the winter is not a luxury. It is a matter of life and death.
Trump and Musk’s decision to arbitrarily fire every worker in the office that helps working class and low income people heat their homes is outrageous.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.
This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.

Don't let up on Signalgate.
The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice.
The entire discussion is fait accompli.
Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates.
Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.
