Wired is reporting that
employees at the Department of Education (DOE) set their automatic out-of-office email responses to inform recipients that they would be unable to respond until after the shutdown. Hours later, many DOE employees realized their response message had been altered to contain partisan language without their consent. The automatic reply now blamed Senate Democrats for the entire shutdown.
When some employees changed their messages to a neutral tone, it was changed back to blaming the Democrats again.
Schumer mustn’t cave.
