On Monday, the Huffington Post reported that EPA grants had been frozen, with agency employees barred from speaking of the matter. The memo ordering the social media blackout is shown below.

Social media could be useful in getting around teh dishonest, distorted media.
This will upset the commie moles embedded in the government.
My private sector employer won’t let us use social media at work either. They want us to work instead.
The problem is the bureaucracy is stuffed with career Leftists who would use the social media sites to sabotage the Adminstration.
As I pointed out in another, earlier thread on this matter: DailyKos is reporting that the Twitter account of Badlands National Park sent out three AGW-related tweets today related to CO2 and oceanic acidity levels. This has been seized upon by the lefty Twitter-verse as the last great act of defiance and they want to set up a GoFundMe for whoever gets fired.
Flood the mole’s tunnels, drive them to the surface,
remove them from the garden.
Exactly. If you’re playing with your friends on FB or Twitter at work...you don’t have enough to do or you aren’t performing.

The Time Magazine website is now also reporting on this and that it happened after the ban.
Heh - party’s over, you female canines.
Bad links to the source. It seems to be gone.
President Trump to sign immigration papers Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
don’t fire ‘em; send ‘em to pt. barrow, alaska for some AGW studies.
Every business in the world has these exact same rules. They don’t want employees speaking for or about the company.
Trump Orders Media Blackout At Government Agencies: Bans Use Of Social Media, Bars New EPA Contracts
Pffffft. I don’t want any of our money to go to these @ssholes.
Great; but we need to take our case against environmental extremism to the public, or those fanatics are going to be back. There are some effective conservative groups out there who could effectively use some donations.
It just got to be a lot less fun to be a global warming activist riding on the Government Gravy Train at the EPA.
Great!!!
