every single video I've seen of the hearing today, Democratic Senators (including ones I don't even like) were pounding the shit out of administration officials.
if the media will not play those clips, it's up to make them go viral, show our friends & family, etc.
They did something.
Reward them.

As we have noted before, if you care about government efficiency and making it work better for the people, there are few offices better than the (former) USDS and @team18f.bsky.social.
We were always thrilled to work with them and we know the whole #AltGov family sends their love. 💕

You should know that a big part of 18F's work was to make sure multi-million to multi-*hundreds*-of-millions dollar contracts at fed *and* state level didn't go to shitty enterprise IT consultancies that *repeatedly* delivered tech that didn't work, was late, or didn't even do what it needed to
