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.

But the standards do include DEI, which of course is not ideological at all.
