  • U.S. government websites were online and accessible on Friday, and the Office of Personnel Management said media reports that the sites would be taken offline were based on misinterpretation of a memo.

The article from Reuters, published on January 31, 2025, reports that the Trump administration plans to take down most U.S. government websites by 5 p.m. on the same day, according to CBS News.

However, essential services like Social Security and Medicare are expected to remain operational through alternative means.
