Here’s a thought for Rep. Stefanik—the U.S. would do well to first hire and retain (and rehire) all the technologists who already want to serve their country before thinking about a new service academy. Many such pathways to serve already existed and were entirely destroyed by DOGE.

New from Jen Easterly and me: as threats to our critical infrastructure increase, U.S. policymakers need to defend + strengthen the role of security research. This is personal for me, having received legal threats for good-faith security research.

This is what happens when 18F goes away: beta.weather.gov has been deactivated, “due to the loss of critical federal staff, which leaves this project without the resources to continue its development or for routine monitoring and maintenance.”

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.
Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

I’m heartsick thinking about the destruction of 18F. The lights of my own public service turned on when I learned about them in 2014. I’ve worked among them and learned from them, and the American public lost orders of magnitude more than whatever small amount won’t be expended on work left undone.

Far be it from me to assess the entire federal workforce’s performance, but what I can say with no doubt is they are subject to the most oversight and accountability of any workforce in the country.
