"Therefore, even if some of the partisan messaging in the communications described in this assessment violated the Hatch Act, it would be inappropriate for OSC to pursue disciplinary action in these cases." My goodness, you are useless.
Email from OSC saying that though the White House violated the Hatch Act, they are not going to do anything about it.

I have had interim reasonable accommodations at work for ~18 months. In August, HHS Central requested medical documentation, and I turned in the forms on time. I received a 👍 for a receipt. I really hope it gets approved because I'm hearing nightmare stories from people getting their RAPs rejected.
