[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m SES[b]. I read the EO and I don’t see the big deal. I mean sure, we are getting some unwanted attention. There are a couple aspects that are eyebrow raising, but noting that I feel alarmed about.[/b] [/quote]

for you SES saying it's all fine, what happens when you provide an opinion or news that is counter to what the administration would like to hear?  Even if what you are saying is true and based on statistics/research?  If you won't regurgitate the message, it appears they can fire you for that.[/quote]

At my old agency the rule of thumb was we told the political appointees the truth one time, "No I think that is wrong for these reasons....". If they insist on following their policy/orders then we keep our mouths shut and do what they ask. Most of the appointees in the last Trump admin were pretty smart and listened to good advice. Sometimes they changed their minds after a few months. [/quote]

Exactly! By all means, if they are determined to step into an OIG investigation,, GAO review, contentious congressional hearings, make the front page of WaPo—I won’t stop them. I will document my advice as I always do and keep it moving [/quote]
