".@prototypo I can confirm that @EPA stated it plans to keep (link: https://opendata.epa.gov) opendata.epa.gov service operational, assuming a CR is passed on 28-April"

It literally pops up with "The data on this Web site will continue to be available on April 28, 2017."
A couple hours ago it popped up with an entirely different message:

As per typical Trump administration chaos, it seems everyone is off message or fighting their own political war to keep their fiefdoms running. Seems Trump is simply fulfilling him promises to gut the government and to expose climate change as a "Chinese Hoax." Why 62m Americans voted for such an asinine premise is beyond me, but here we are with yet another attack on the EPA. Previous ones include putting a climate denier in charge, loosening rules on pesticides, and allowing coal dust to be dumped into our rivers. So its not out of character for the Trump administration to do this.
It's not "banned from twitter" kind of censorship. I'm sure it'll get the level of attention it deserves.
