Using my throwaway to try not to get doxxed. I just got word through my local health department supervisors that at 5pm today all federal websites will be going dark. We have no idea what this means. They have already started rerouting or removing links to some topics but it is rumored likely that “all federal websites” are going to be pulled down by 5pm today 1/31/2025. I hope i am wrong, not trying to spread fear, just information given that we have ~2 hours to preserve vital information. Federal employees, i stand with you. Hold the line. Defend your oath to the Constitution. You are Patriots
Eta: yes, its 5 pm and there are still sites up. That dosent discount the fact that a lot of health data is disappearing and access to many sites we use to do public health work are restricted. My information was off, used language that implied all websites are going down, which may have caused panic that I apologize for. I felt it was my duty to share that information so that we could at least prepare for the worst
Edit 2 as of 2/2/2025: gift article to NYT coverage of sites affected. Excellent coverage https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/upshot/trump-government-websites-missing-pages.html?unlocked_article_code=1.t04.kZ5q._360tk62LdwF&referringSource=articleShare
