Any of the rest of you familiar with this provision. Pretty easy to violate. But this sounds just wanton and egregious behavior.

The White House ran afoul of the Hatch Act after initial warning, government watchdog says​

Michael Chamberlain, a former Trump administration official who now runs a conservative watchdog group called Protect the Public’s Trust, said the OSC’s failure to enforce the Hatch Act after Jean-Pierre and Bates “doubled down” on political speech shows the law to be toothless against those who violate it when they serve at high levels of government.

“Apparently, nobody takes the Hatch Act very seriously, at least nobody that matters. Ms. Jean-Pierre cites it frequently to avoid tough questions, but when she and her deputy received the initial warning from OSC, they doubled down,” Chamberlain said. “They probably guessed there would be no consequences, and the OSC appears to have proven them correct.”

Not just federal employment but any state or local agency that takes federal funds.

Just do your job and don't accept gifts/benefits and don't get publicly involved in partisan elections.

It is not just a Trump problem, this stuff has happened in multiple administrations. As a taxpayer, you should be calling your reps and senators. Of course they won't care because they violate it all the time as well.
