      USA.gov = 800KB

      america.gov = 25MB (before you start scrolling)

      Feels janky too.

        Yep, not only that America.gov FAILED the web accessibility test:

        America.gov has 1 ERROR and FAILED TO LOAD - this is violating Federal laws. Class action suits anyone?

        <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wave.webaim.org&#x2F;report#&#x2F;america.gov" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wave.webaim.org&#x2F;report#&#x2F;america.gov

        Meanwhile the old USA.gov works and loading and no errors (some warnings are expected)

          You act like their friends haven&#x27;t already drafted the lawsuit before the site even launched.

          Lack of trust in authority is a sad slippery slope.
