This article took on a colloquial tone, explaining what the government shutdown was and its effects on the economy and the public. It used a question and answer format. It focused on the causes of the shutdown, its relation to Obamacare, as well as general effects and predicted effects on the country.

This source is more formal than that of the Washington Post. It did not talk about the causes of the government shutdown, but instead had specific details about which government services would and would not be affected by the shutdown. It did not mention the effects on the economy or the people; it simply listed what areas of the government would be affected.
Both articles are informative. They are also impartial, despite the Washington Post being more informal than USA.gov; neither expressed a bias towards the Democrats or the Republicans. Both talked about the consequences of the shutdown.
