Overview
- The White House debuted on Friday with a meme-filled 'greatest hits' video that included an edited image of Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero and a reference to Joe Biden’s autopen portrait.
- Multiple departments opened accounts in a coordinated rollout, including State, Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, Commerce, Transportation, Interior, Energy, and the administration’s so‑called Department of War.
- Agency posts echoed the same theme by faulting Democrats for the ongoing government shutdown, with examples targeting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and warning of harms to federal services.
- Within about 48 hours the White House account became one of Bluesky’s most blocked, with roughly 91,000–92,000 blocks and about 10,000 followers, according to third‑party trackers; Vice President J.D. Vance leads with about 166,000 blocks since June.
- Legal experts and watchdog groups noted that partisan messaging from official agency accounts may raise Hatch Act concerns and called for scrutiny of the posts.
