The Tor project themselves reccomend against using their service with a VPN. The only thing a VPN would do is prevent your ISP from knowing you’re accessing Tor, but if the feds are actively trying to get you (as this meme seems to imply) then the VPN won’t really do much. If anything using a VPN would only make you more suspicious

The devs say it as general advice for those who don’t know what they are doing.. It’s perfectly fine as long as you don’t try to set up strange configurations and you can trust your vpn provider.
Thanks for the correction
If you don’t want your ISP to know, there’s this magical thing called TOR Bridges.
