Two sources that are missing:
opendatanetwork.com: this is effectively a Google for public Socrata data portals, and for me, the best way to discover datasets across different municipalities. For example, when I was interested in trying to replicate the NYT's "Do ‘Fast and Furious’ Movies Cause a Rise in Speeding?" [0] article, it was pretty easy to find a bunch of other traffic/motor vehicle violation datasets with opendatanetwork's search.
Enigma public (https://public.enigma.com https://public.enigma.com): a huge collection of scraped public datasets, including flattened versions of data that originally comes in annoying-to-parse, such as U.S. lobbying disclosures [1]
