Trump administration gets political in shutdown warnings

The Trump administration is leveraging official government communications to attribute blame for a potential U.S. government shutdown to Democrats, while simultaneously promoting the President's agenda. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) posted a warning on its website blaming "The Radical Left" for "massive pain" if a shutdown occurs, raising concerns about Hatch Act violations. Agencies have also been urged to consider permanent staff reductions for programs not aligned with the President's priorities, a departure from previous shutdowns which typically involved furloughs.
