It's not illegal, but most government employees work for the executive branch, so you can theoretically be fired for not obeying the chief executive (president). Just like someone at a company can be fired for disobeying the CEO, unless there is actually a law protecting the specific behavior.

How did Trump support the name change in a 2024 executive order if he wasn't president during any of 2024? I don't remember Biden signing that order for him.

Since they're rendered to look like spheres are the numbers proportional to the area of the circle, or the volume of the sphere?

Those aren't even real people. Those "usernames" are the names of custom emojis you can use in Twitch chat. Still weird in context, but I can see how it would be even more creepy if you didn't know that.

Or they try to refill prescriptions that aren't supposed to be. I got a call from them saying they had contacted my doctor and she wouldn't let them refill my short term antibiotics, so I should call and fix that so they can give me more that I don't need.
