Log on to www.whitehouse.gov and a dark screen with a text box opens and reads: “Due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this website may not be up to date. Some submissions may not be processed, and we may not be able to respond to your inquiries.”
Close the box and the Whitehouse page appears with the same message repeated. To make it simple, the government is shut down and it is all Congress’ fault.
