Similar politically charged content appeared on agency websites, raising concerns about Hatch Act violations, which prohibit federal workers from using official channels for partisan activity.
The changes, attributed to unauthorized access or directive from higher levels, have sparked allegations of compelled speech and political weaponization of federal communications during the shutdown.
