It's #HatchFactFriday! Federal executive branch employees, did you know the Hatch Act doesn't restrict everything? You can still vote, display campaign signs at home, and even join a political party.

A VA whistleblower just got results for 200,000 veterans. 🇺🇸
After a former VA finance manager exposed a $110M backlog of unprocessed copayment refunds owed to nearly 1 million veterans — the VA reviewed 98% of cases and sent out nearly $20M in overdue payments.
One disclosure. Hundreds of thousands of veterans helped. That’s why whistleblowing matters.
