  • Democratic senators are asking public servants to report "wrongdoing, abuse of power and threats to public safety."

The article from MSN discusses a new initiative by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel (OSC) encouraging federal employees to report any abuse of power or misconduct by the Trump administration.
