“In a memo obtained by The Associated Press, acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Dorothy Fink told agency staff leaders Tuesday that an “immediate pause” had been ordered on — among other things — regulations, guidance, announcements, press releases, social media posts and website posts until such communications had been approved by a political appointee.”

    I would be happy if some political representative would accidentally talk about them since they’re supposed to be immune to political consequences.

    or what if this important news got ransomed by a hacker group?

      They never did find who leaked the Supreme Court rulings.
