    That's ridiculous, and could be illegal, because in changing the response, they are taking on the speech of the named employee. If that's not a first amendment violation, I don't know what is. Federal employees are not allowed to be involved in politics while they are employed by the federal government, I know there's exceptions and everything, but at its core this action is repugnant.

    This weaponization of public resources for partisan purposes is hardly surprising, but given the government is shut down, I would imagine black or even grey hats might feel like it's open season on .gov, so I would be surprised to see much durability in their attempts.

    DOGE f-kery

    it's pretty obvious they can now search and replace across most if not all government websites now

    let's hope that backdoor is locked down and not available for foreign entities

    and this is of course a massive Hatch-Act violation but we're way past law breaking this far into the regime

    Imagine if any one of the dozen outrageous things which have happened in the past 14 days happened under any other president. There would be immediate congressional hearings and likely impeachment proceedings.

    The Republicans control all branches of government, and are _still_ somehow blaming the democrats for this? Such babies.

    Like, surely even to their own supporters this looks… not great?

    It's pretty clear the president has dementia.

    That's the longest pronoun signature I've seen.
