Federal employees can once again wear political apparel to work.
Trump's administration rescinded prior guidance that prohibited campaign or political clothing.
Federal employees are still prohibited from engaging in political activities while on duty.
On Wednesday, employees at the Social Security Administration received an email informing them of a change in guidance on wearing political apparel at work. The email, viewed by Business Insider, said that the Office of Special Counsel has returned to its previous policy that "does not prohibit wearing or displaying campaign or election-related items in the workplace after Election Day."
The email went on to note that "year-round employees remain prohibited from engaging in activity that shows support for or opposition to political parties or partisan political groups while on duty, in a government room or building, wearing an official uniform or insignia, or using a government vehicle."
The change in guidance refers to an advisory from the Office of Special Counsel issued on April 25. The OSC said it was rescinding May 2024 guidance on the Hatch Act — a law that restricts the political activities of federal employees — that prohibited the display of campaign items in the workplace after election day.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Of course if the wearer has an American Flag pin that's an indication of their views.
Uh ... have you seen how many leftist politicians wear a flag pin?
All that’s missing is the celery stick.
Good. Let foment more issues in the Federal workforce.
Can’t wait for my mailman to wear a pro abortion hat.
America needs to refocus on work and return work to being serious business, this was a bad idea, warring political outfits in the office is terrible for the taxpayers.
What is she supposed to be wearing on top of her head?
I’m almost afraid to even ask.
A number of different answers spring to mind, most of them not very nice.
A chicken wing.
I would never have thought of a chicken wing.
When wings are glazed that color, they’re often on a big tray, ready for snacking during a big sporting event.
Buffalo Wings.
Agreed. This is just kicking the hornet's nest and guaranteed to create office hostility ... more than there already is just being in an office and having to deal with people.
Bad idea.
Terrible idea!
Government workers while at work should appear and act apolitical. What they think in their heads is their business.
Allowing any public displays of political preferences left or right is asking for trouble.
If you are so hostile to who is president you have no business working for me as a taxpayer!
Anyone hating on another employee for supporting the current president needs to be fired for insubordination, immaturity, and unprofessional conduct.
“warring “
Liberals are doing the warring. Thanks for pointing that out.
I think the hat next to her is bleu cheese
Obviously.
💯.
I agree.
Yeah, Right. And have Molotov cocktails flying at you from left and right and “F” bombs droping on your but every time you show your face. NO THANKS! Civil serpents are just that. They were embedded by Joe Pedo to destroy the Trump administration.
No. Fed workspace must be free of overt displays of political leanings.
