Documentation of the January 2018 shutdown additionally includes a dataset of 29,403 seed URLs extracted from #shutdown-related Twitter data using Social Feed Manager.

Description: To All GPO Contractors: As of October 1, 2013, there are no annual appropriations for the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO).
