If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

The organization RFK Jr formerly led is actively putting information out stating that the measles vaccine is to blame for this outbreak, not declining vaccination rates.
It’s a lie.
The measles vaccine is both incredibly effective and very safe.
His rhetoric is responsible for these realities.
