United States Government Information

Provides primary source information, documents, reports or publications produced by the legislative, executive and judicial branches of US federal government.

U.S. Government Shutdown

When government agencies furlough or fire their employees those agencies may decide to take down their websites. Even if websites remain up they won't be updated and their performance may be degraded. 

Finding Missing Government Websites

A new presidential administration typically brings significant changes to federal government websites. What is not typical, however, is the pressure faced by executive agencies in the second Trump administration to remove data and take down websites that conflict with the president's political views as outlined in his executive orders.

It has become increasingly common for government data sets that were previously publicly available to be removed. Some of these datasets may be altered and made available again, while others may remain offline indefinitely. 

Below is a list of non-governmental resources that have some US government-produced data. Please feel free to contact me if you need any help finding US government information.
