Less-restricted federal employees may engage in partisan political activity off-duty — but never on-duty, never in the workplace, never using government property, and never while wearing identifying agency clothing. Social media posts from a personal device while on duty count as on-duty activity.
Hatch Act violations carry penalties from reprimand to removal. Career employees with strong records have been removed for posts that took 30 seconds to write at lunch.
MSRB Rule 15c2-12 requires issuers to file notice of certain events within 10 business days. The list runs to 16 categories now, including some (insolvency of obligated person, modifications to rights of bondholders, financial obligations material to investors) that are easily missed without a tracking process.
A pattern of late or missed event filings can trigger SEC enforcement and impair the issuer's future market access. The reputational cost outlasts the immediate penalty.
Federal FOIA fee waivers must be granted when disclosure is "in the public interest" and not primarily commercial. The four-factor analysis (subject matter, informative value, contribution to public understanding, requester's commercial interest) is well-established but routinely misapplied by agencies as discretionary when it is mandatory if the factors are met.
A properly framed waiver request that addresses each factor explicitly is hard for an agency to deny without creating an appellate record. Most denials lose on appeal when the requester points to the framework.
