When you're a government employee, yes. That was supposed to be the big problem of Hillary's Private server.

Every time you log into your government e-mail there is a pop up reminding you that they are public records.

Is there a reminder that if you're appointed by Trump they will routinely get leaked to the press?

They already know because the leakers are themselves Trump appointees or their minions.

They are also subject to FOIA so the mechanism of publication doesn't really matter.

No evidence of credible threats against EPA’s Pruitt

https://apnews.com/0a7f4390485a41588e6515f355262257

The Democrats said they found no records describing specific, credible threats against Pruitt. An internal EPA document recounted such threat as attempts by protesters to disrupt a speech and a post card sent to Pruitt that said: “CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL!!! We are watching you.”

The Democrats also obtained a Feb. 14 assessment from EPA’s Office of Homeland Security Intelligence that concluded “EPA Intelligence has not identified any specific, credible, direct threat to the EPA administrator.” The review said an earlier threat assessment by Pruitt’s security team “does not employ sound analysis or articulate relevant ‘threat specific’ information appropriate to draw any resource or level of threat conclusions regarding the protection posture for the administrator.

Pruitt may be the snowflakiest of the bunch.

The EPA's Office of Homeland Security Intelligence?

Sounds like an interesting pace to work.

Under Trump, a voice for the American consumer goes silent

A review of a CFPB database obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information request shows that the bureau issued an average of two to four enforcement actions a month under former Director Richard Cordray, President Obama's appointee. But the database shows zero enforcement actions have been taken since Nov. 21, 2017, three days before Cordray resigned.

Before Mulvaney, the bureau used enforcement actions to extract billions of dollars in relief for consumers from financial companies and to stop companies from doing harm. Bank of America was ordered to return $727 million to consumers for deceptive credit card practices in 2015 — the largest award in the bureau's history — but the CFPB has issued dozens of smaller actions to get relief for student borrowers, victims of debt collection companies and bank customers.
