EPA UNDER POLITICAL LOCKDOWN

This from a staff member at the EPA:
"So I work at the EPA and yeah it's as bad as you are hearing:
The entire agency is under lockdown, the website, facebook, twitter, you
name it is static and can't be updated.
All reports, findings, permits and studies are frozen and not to be
released. No presentations or meetings with outside groups are to be
scheduled.
Any Press contacting us are to be directed to the Press Office which is
also silenced and will give no response.
All grants and contracts are frozen from the contractors working on
Superfund sites to grad school students working on their thesis.
We are still doing our work, writing reports, doing cancer modeling for
pesticides hoping that this is temporary and we will be able to serve
the public soon.
But many of us are worried about an ideologically-fueled purging and if
you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now.
We have been told the website is being reworked to reflect the new
administration's policy.
Feel free to copy and paste, you all pay for the government and you
should know what's going on. I am posting this as a fellow citizen and
not in any sort of official capacity."

This statement was sent to a friend of mine from an acquaintance currently working at the EPA.
My friend is a highly trusted source and fellow Climate Change follower.
I did not make this up, I didn't need to,
