Went to get the normal open lines text I use from the census site and was given this instead:
Due to the lapse in government funding, census.gov sites, services, and all online survey collection requests will be unavailable until further notice.

Websites affected by this shutdown are all census.gov hosted websites, including:
- Census.gov
