I need my government to be run by some functioning adults, is that on this website?

I think the discussion ought to be about the site. If you feel the site itself is politicized, that would fair criticism. But by itself, your comment is just snarky. And no I am no fan of the current administration.

Well, lets discuss the name? America is a big place, and the USA is small part of it. USA.gov? Good, America.gov? Very political in nature.

.gov is for US government. The US and its citizens are commonly referred to as “Americans”.

The irony is that usa.gov already exists, and is also a website dedicated to where to find information on various government services. But there's no AI on it, so it must be bad.
What a waste, though: two completely separate government websites with the exact same purpose, going about it in different ways. Maybe DOGE should have been more interested in stuff like this, instead of cutting things that ended up hurting people.
At any rate, the demonym for people who live in the US is "American". That's just how it is, has been for decades, and, frankly, arguing against that is what's making it political.

There's nothing more American than having multiple approaches to the same ideals, the great experiment.
Now you can either use AI or the old way. I see no problem with it.

And along those lines, I'd like to ask USA government to stop messing with other countries politics.
