The memo told health agency employees to have all documents and communications - including regulations, guidance, notices, social media, websites and press releases - reviewed and approved by a presidential appointee before issuing them.

Ahhh, just like the Soviet "political officer" keeping soldiers in line. What could go wrong?

Trump 2 is out of control. Zero respect for the democracy we had or what actually made the nation great. Just another self aggrandizing despot here to tear it all down.
