Ah?
Does THAT mean that Federal Agencies and Departments ..
Are cut off from Congress?.
Which WILL assign the MONEY to run these Department’s….
That pays the US Governments Bill’s and Payrolls….
NOT the President….
(Dept heads GO before Congress to answer questions about their budgets and Congressional mandates actions ALL THE TIME….No More?…Will Trump send a DOGE consultant?)
Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) sent several letters on Thursday to various federal agency heads seeking answers regarding directives banning employees from speaking to Congress.
“The Committee on Appropriations has a longstanding relationship with Agency career staff who are integral to providing the data used to inform our decisions,” she wrote in separate letters to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin…..
“These staff have always conducted themselves in a professional way with integrity,” the Democratic lawmaker added.
“Unfortunately, nearly all communication has stopped since President Trump took office. My understanding is that these staff have been directed not to communicate with Congress.”….
…
“Oversight of the executive branch is one of Congress’s main responsibilities, and the Department’s utter lack of transparency is unacceptable. It is clear to me that this reckless and indiscriminate purge of public servants will have lasting harmful effects,” the Maine lawmaker stated….
Note…
Of course Congress COULD Hold UP signing the Spending Autorization’s for the Dept.’s who do NOT come before them, eh?
