Trump's government gag order blocks agencies from talking to Congress

Something about this seems fishy.

By locking Congress out, the Trump regime isn’t just denying them information that can be used for legislation or evaluating the effectiveness of agencies; they are also cutting off the ability of Congress to act as an agent for constituents who need help navigating the complexity of agencies.
When has Congress ever acted as an agent for it's constituents and not for their own benefit?

It's possible that these freezes are in place to prevent leaks that have the media run with before anything is finalized or ready. Not sure until more comes out about the why...

Corporations routinely do this before massive shakeups of personnel.
 
Science goes rogue: US government agencies tackle Trump on Twitter:

Government employees from more than a dozen federal agencies in the United States have opened rogue Twitter accounts, concerned by what they see as President Trump’s attempts to stifle government scientific research and scale back the country’s Obama-era commitments to combating climate change.

The network of alternative Twitter accounts includes those of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), NASA and even the National Park Service.

It comes as several other federal government departments including the Interior Department, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health, were issued directives this week from the Trump White House to curb their flow of information to the public on topics related to environmental issues...
 
Do you realize how silly that sounds? "Combating Climate Change". No wonder there is a resurgence in Orwells 1984. Wait till these millennials look around and realize we have a Department of Education.
