From elsewhere:

The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. ​The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.​​​​ ​​

Those complaints are going straight into a shredder.

This administration has been blatant about putting right wing allies into major positions of power in the government and basing decision-making on partisan politics in every branch, at every level of government.

Those that play ball are promoted, those that don't, like the CDC director, get replaced.

Rule one for fighting tyranny: do not obey in advance.

Not taking advantage of the legal protections at our disposal is to obey in advance.

Despair is easy. Fighting back is hard.
