Shutdown Language Sparks Hatch Act Concerns

Government agencies are under scrutiny for potentially violating the Hatch Act by using taxpayer-funded websites to post Democrat-blaming language regarding the shutdown. Experts are divided on whether this constitutes a violation, with some arguing it's partisan messaging using federal resources, while others believe it addresses policy differences rather than elections. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have requested an investigation into these "wildly inappropriate" postings.
