Title: Govtrack ids for social-media.yaml, and a handful of twitter accounts.

This pull request is mostly govtrack ids.

I've also added the twitter accounts below. The non-verified list is accounts that I'm pretty sure are legit, but they're not listed anywhere (congressional website, verified twitter bio) as the official account for the member's office.

The 'excluded' list are members I haven't added to the file. I've got bioguides and govtrack ids for them, but didn't include them because their twitter accounts appear to be non-official.

I've listed urls and phone numbers in case you want to follow up.

Non-verified:
line 296: https://twitter.com/RepThompson
not linked from his website, but links to his official rather than campaign site, and the tweets look official (congressional art competition, legislation, no fundraising event invites)

line 2766: https://twitter.com/ElijahECummings
Same deal--not linked but links to, and looks official.

line 3778: https://twitter.com/SenatorBaldwin
Twitter account is verified, and bio says: "Official Twitter account of United States Senator Tammy Baldwin's office, proudly working for the State of Wisconsin. Tweets from Tammy are signed -TB." Not on her website but she's on the standard Drupal install with no customizations.
