While some Federal government agencies push loud political partisanship in your face on their home page, NASA has class and simply states the facts minus the politics in small type at nasa.gov -- Good on you #NASA. #Shutdown #NASASTRONG

Similar messages went up on other government sites, all in violation of the law. If you think this makes you look less culpable, Donald, you’re sorely mistaken.

Photo of an X post by Scott MacFarlane (@MacFarlaneNews
) featuring a screenshot of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) homepage. The post text reads: "The banner on the homepage of the U.S. Dept of Housing and Urban Development now splashes an alert about 'The Radical Left in Congress...'" followed by "It's quite something to see that on a .gov website operator by government employees." The screenshot shows a banner on the HUD website with the text: "The Radical Left in Congress shut down the government. HUD will use available resources to help Americans in need." The background includes an image of houses at sunset and a quote: "God blessed us with this great nation, and together, we can increase sufficiency for Americans to climb the economic ladder toward a brighter future - Secretary Scott Turner."

“A shutdown falls on the president’s lack of leadership. I mean problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak.” – Donald Trump, 2013
