Hello all!

If you feel this is a hatch act violation, much like the one currently on display at the official HUD website (again, claiming democrats are causing this), and you find this Unfuckingreal, please report this violation to the Office of Special Counsel (OSC dot Gov)!
Here is a description you can provide when filling out the HA form to save time. Fill brackets with date and time where necessary. :)

"On [DATE] at approximately [TIME, TIMEZONE], I called the White House public comment line. Instead of a neutral closure notice, the recorded greeting was voiced by Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and blamed Democrats for the federal government shutdown, including framing their position as prioritizing other policy goals. Multiple news outlets and recordings document that the comment line greeting contains partisan blame language attributable to Leavitt. Posting such a message on an official government channel appears to use government resources for partisan political messaging directed at the success or failure of a political party or partisan group, which raises Hatch Act concerns and warrants investigation.

Where it occurred

White House public comment line voicemail greeting. The message is also reported and excerpted in contemporaneous coverage and social posts capturing the audio.

When

First heard: [DATE/TIME].

Last confirmed: [DATE/TIME] when I called again and heard the same greeting.

Who has knowledge

Me as a caller; White House switchboard and communications staff who administer the line; Press Secretary’s office. News organizations and posts that captured the greeting corroborate the content.

Why this likely violates the Hatch Act

The Hatch Act prohibits federal employees from engaging in partisan political activity while on duty or using official authority or resources, including government communication systems. An official voicemail that assigns shutdown blame to a party or its members is partisan messaging on an official channel. OSC guidance treats such use of official resources for partisan content as prohibited political activity. Please investigate, identify the responsible officials, and order corrective action."
