The Republicans have been playing fast and loose with legality for pretty much ever.
Fortunately, the majority of Americans seem to know this message is a steaming pile of horseshit.

arguably. there are exemptions in the hatch act for senate-confirmed appointees. the secretary of agriculture seems like it would be one such appointee with hatch act exemptions. they could potentially make a case that these messages are communications from the secretary of agriculture, not from any actual experts or public servants. if it is meant to be a communication from the secretary of agriculture, one could argue there is an exemption in the hatch act for this specific activity (even though the actual communication goes through other non-senate-approved government employees/appointeed, many if not most of whom do not have exemptions to the hatch act, but do you punish the gun or the entity that pulled the trigger? (yes both would be nice but let's play a different game instead)
this seems to be what i've picked up on reading
Who's donating to enforce the Hatch act? Are they outbidding the Project 2025 folks?
That's all that matters anymore. Government for the highest bidder.
Laws only matter if someone enforces them
The collateral damage of dick measuring contests.
