I have a laundry list of issues with the current administration but this is seriously alarming.<p>This is an administration that seems intent on openly lying to the public on even the tiniest of issues like inauguration crowd size, and large ones like accusations of voter fraud. An administration set on quashing any dissent and against the idea of a free and independent press. (See constant attempts to <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;delegitimize&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;delegitimize&#x2F;</a> the press and media, plans to defund public broadcasting, threats to open libel laws against the press)<p>And an administration that pushes aside and denounces experts in their fields for industry hacks and politicians with no knowledge and experience, or gigantic conflicts of interest - see Betsy Devos, Scott Pruitt, Rick Perry, see also claiming climate change is a hoax, wanting to appoint anti-vaxxers to lead a vaccine safety commission.<p>Trump voters, are you not the least bit concerned? I keep expecting some movement on the right to keep leadership accountable, but instead Republican politicians are falling in line hoping to gain some power in the new order.

The same thing happened in Canada during the Harper years.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbc.ca&#x2F;fifth&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;2013-2014&#x2F;the-silence-of-the-labs" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbc.ca&#x2F;fifth&#x2F;episodes&#x2F;2013-2014&#x2F;the-silence-of-th...</a><p>Thankfully it was reversed after Trudeau became PM.<p>For a look at a few other things under Harper which it seems may be copied by Trump, see <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffingtonpost.ca&#x2F;adam-kingsmith&#x2F;canada-freedom-of-press_b_2946418.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.huffingtonpost.ca&#x2F;adam-kingsmith&#x2F;canada-freedom-o...</a><p>Lots more where that came from.<p>I&#x27;m now living in Sydney, Aus, and to be honest, it isn&#x27;t considerably different here. Last week a planned protest of the &quot;Lockout Laws&quot; (which has very strict limits on when venues can serve alcohol and allow patrons to enter) was denied because the the organizers did not provide police with &quot;had failed to show mass evacuation and crowd dispersal plans.&quot; <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.abc.net.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017-01-20&#x2F;sydney-lockout-laws-court-against-protests-by-keep-sydney-open&#x2F;8198226" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.abc.net.au&#x2F;news&#x2F;2017-01-20&#x2F;sydney-lockout-laws-co...</a>

Is this gag order legal? And what would happen if an EPA scientist did talk to the press during the gag order?

This is truly unfortunate. I can only hope despite Trump&#x27;s best efforts these agencies continue to do their jobs and protect the public. And if not I guess the next round of thalidomide babies will be named after him.

Is there a source for this? I am not seeing a source in OP&#x27;s article nor am I seeing any sources in any of the articles that show up on the front page of DuckDuckGo. Also, none of the articles written about this are written in a major news outlet.
