A number of outlets are reporting this (example: 
https://boingboing.net/2017/01/27/the-white-house-closed-its-pub.html). 
I find it quite outrageous, in many levels (so now you need an account 
at a private company in order to communicate with a public official 
--supposing these messages are ever even read/heard). Not the most 
important thing going on in recent days, but still...
