A federal workers union is suing the Trump administration for inserting language into Department of Education employees' out-of-office email messages blaming Democrats for the government shutdown.

"Forcing civil servants to speak on behalf of the political leadership's partisan agenda is a blatant violation of federal employees' First Amendment rights," said the complaint, which was filed by the American Federation of Government Employees in federal district court in Washington, D.C., on Friday.

And as with all lawsuits against Trump...I expect nothing to happen.

This administration doesn't play by the rules, so neither should we.

Huh? Several of those lawsuits have actually overturned shit he's done. It just takes a bit and isn't usually front page news.
