If you want to track progress on the fixes to the web site, the government has set up a new Twitter account.
Please help us. If we don't get this site running, we'll get the worst punishment a government employee can get: Time off with pay.

Not quite accurate, they collect unemployment, then get their back pay and raise.
Someone doesn’t have a sense of humor. Account suspended.
President Thin Skin wont tolerate any mocking. I wonder if he had to threaten Twitter like he has news organizations or if some Obama cultist took it down on their own?
Oh come on, Rand, that’s not quite true. Sure, they get time off with pay as punishment for stuff like the Benghazi screw up or the 400+ pile of dead bodies from Fast & Furious, but for the really serous stuff, like anonymously calling Vallerie Jarret a vacuous cypher on twitter, or working in a Obamacare call center and taking a call from Fox News, they do get fired on the spot.
It’s all a matter of the seriousness of the offense.

Or someone on their staff calling Biden an idiot.
The account appears to be working, and it’s comedy gold. He’s updating every couple of minutes.
It was down when I read your comment earlier but it is up now. Must have been some behind the scenes battles at Twitter HQ. With a big IPO coming up they cant make high profile shenanigans.
Anyone else see this and immediately think of Baghdad Jim?
