Watchdog Group Investigates Transportation Department Pushing Biden’s Political AgendaJacob Bliss 1 Dec 2021
A government watchdog group known as Protect the Public’s Trust (PPT) filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for documents to investigate if the Department of Transportation violated federal anti-lobbying laws by pushing for items in President Joe Biden’s political agenda to be passed by Congress.
PPT is alleging that the Transportation Department or someone at the department violated the federal anti-lobbying laws that Congress enacted to ban types of lobbying activities by federal agencies and officials in addition to protecting American taxpayers and the interests of the American public.
The probe revolves around a social media post from the department’s official, American taxpayer-funded, U.S. Department of Transportation Twitter account. The tweet showed a “meme” that was pushing, and inevitably endorsing, President Joe Biden’s “marquee legislation,” the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better Act, which was also known as the Democrats’ partisan reconciliation infrastructure bill, along with the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill.
The “meme” PPT is questioning depicted a male and female texting, with the male saying he is thinking about “how the new infrastructure law is going to make getting from place to place so much better… when combined with the Build Back Better act.”

The FOIA documents added that includes “any and all communications discussing the creation of this tweet and images therein, the substantiation for the claims made in the tweet, the decision to post this tweet, and/or the reactions to this tweet.”
