In case anyone relies on Twitter to get information from NPS about road conditions, weather, etc., be aware that NPS has been banned temporarily from tweeting.

How interesting! Source?

Google it. The reasons for the ban political.

There are a number of news reports. This one seems the most thorough:

Guys, please remember the guidelines of this forum. This is not a place for political discussions.

Thanks. This is a good time to be retired.

Didn't sound like critical political stuff, just facts, but did not seem to be in the scope of the NPS web site.

More like NPS employees using work time or equipment for non-work activities.

This is why we can't have nice things (weather reports, road conditions etc.)

NPS retweeted stuff that wasn't entirely within their purview. A comparison between inaugural crowd sizes, and a notice that part of the Whitehouse website dealing with civil rights, climate change and health care was absent.

EDIT: The "issues" part of website is where the civil rights, etc. was missing. It appears that the "issues" is per the current administration, and there is no relation to the previous administration's priorities.

Yeah, whatever. I don't tweet or subscribe to read tweets so it's totally a non-issue.

Reading this article, the tweeting ability of the NPS was restored, but they may again be in hot water...Naughty Rangers! Bad! Bad!
