Federal agencies blaming Democrats for shutdown in potentially illegal move | US federal government shutdown 2025

Increased number of federal agencies and staff clearly blame the democrats for the closure of the current government. The political messages of the agencies may be a violation of the Hatch Law, which prohibits federal employees’ political activities.

Fur federal employees in some agencies were instructed to give firecrackers messages that explained that they did not work because they caused the democrats to be closed. State Agency websites also displayed messages that report that the websites of the sites are temporarily waiting due to the closure of “Democratic leadership”.

Other agency websites have used more warrior languages.

“Radical left, reckless expenditure and disability has chosen to close the US government in the Treasury Department’s website.

Similarly, the US Ministry of Agriculture website he says The sites will not be updated due to the closure of the radical left democrat ”.

According to the Ministry of Education (Doe) sources, doe officials automatically changed the language of employees’ off -offensive response. Including the rhetoric that accuses the democrats of closing.

“We have activated automatically return before logging in by the department,“ a Doe employee said. “However, the department entered without our knowledge or approval and changed the message.”

Previous NBC News reported About the changes in the automatic e -mail messages of Doe employees.

The government closed at midnight on Wednesday after not getting an agreement before the deputies’ last date on Tuesday night. As Guardian’s Chris Stein explains, Democrats demand a series of concessions about health services, financing and foreign aid for public media. As a result of the closure, hundreds of thousands of federal employees escaped and agencies closed the key functions.

By examining the agency websites and news reports, the Guardian watched a series of federal state institutions that introduced the language that accused the democrats. These include:

• Ministry of Justice

• Ministry of Foreign Affairs

• Treasury Department

• Ministry of Agriculture

• Ministry of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)

• Ministry of Education

• Heath and Human Services Department

• Ministry of Commerce

• Ministry of Labor

• Small Business Administration (SBA)

• Drug Application Administration (Dea)

• Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau (ATF)

• Disease Control and Prevention Centers (CDC)

• Medicare and Medicaid Service Centers (CMS)

• US Food and Pharmaceutical Administration (FDA)

• Health Research and Quality Agency (AHRQ)

• Children and Families Management (ACF)

Some open political activities of federal employees are prohibited by the Hatch Law, the 1939 law, which wants to prevent political influence on agencies.

Donald Sherman, General Manager and Chief Advisor for the responsibility and ethics of Washington or crew, Donald Sherman, the use of government websites and employees and employees’ use of out -of -office messages for the closure of democrats, said “extraordinarily irresponsible and inappropriate”.

“This is clearly behavior that does not comply with ethical guidance,” he said. “I think some are illegal. Some are not illegal, but extraordinarily irresponsible and inappropriate, depending on the law you are talking about.”

Sherman probably said it was the worst time to deal with this kind of Partizan Chicanery, because many Americans rely on government websites for information about the basic services that deteriorate by the closure.

“It is part of the politicization and arming model and application in the way we have not seen before,” he added: “Surprisingly, it says something for this administration.”

Already, a non -profit consumer defender organization, the public citizen, SBA, the democrats accusing the democrats complained about the message on the web page. The organization says it is a violation of the Hatch Law.

“SBA and other agencies think that this illegal, partisan tactics are increasingly adopting, however, they could escape because Trump broke the federal government’s ethical observation,” he said.

The Special Advisor Independent Office applies violations of the HATCH law. Penalties may include a federal service for up to five years and civil fines up to $ 1,000. Office Currently closed Due to the financing jump and Trump fired the head of the office earlier this year and took part in the US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.

NBC News reported The Ministry of Labor suggests that the Ministry of Labor sends a message to employees on Wednesday morning and the accusation of “Democratic Senators için for the closure of out-of-office e-mail messages. HuffPost similarly reported The same instructions were given to the workers in the Department of Health and Human Services.

On Thursday morning, the Trump administration threatened to expel many employees in federal agencies throughout the country, and led to concern and fear among furry employees for business safety.

DEE sources said that some workers have printed more notifications and the last few payments when the Trump administration needs to file for unemployment in response to ignition threats during closing.

Sherman, Congress’s Executive Branch is the responsibility of fulfilling the supervision, but the inspectors general or state accountability office (GAO) may be an investigation, he said. In this case, the accountability of the authorities who ordered the partisan messaging will not come in the form of expelling, he said.

“This power exists only in the executive branch and clearly those who do this.

On Thursday morning, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the Assembly, said that deputies are still guilty of reaching an agreement on state financing and being guilty of democrats.

Despite the closure of the government, the Trump administration benefits to maintain its policy goals. As Guardian has already reported, the US Energy Department will freeze about $ 8 billion in financing for 16 US state projects and $ 18 billion for two New York City Construction projects.

Trump said on Thursday that he would meet with Russell Vought, President of the Management and Budget Office to discuss more deductions in agencies that are not compatible with political priorities.

Trump, in an article on Social, “Today I have a meeting with Russ Vought, Project 2025 fame, most of the democratic agencies, most of which have a political deception, and to determine whether these deductions would be temporary or permanent.

“I can’t believe that the radical left democrats give me this unprecedented opportunity, Tr Trump added.
