More than 400 New Yorkers are joining our Transition Committees—all driven by the urgency of tackling our affordability crisis.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.
I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

Many folks in this photo were part of 18F until the end. We are the faces of this movement.
Really metered my posting about work, but here's a far more recent pic of the last @team18f.bsky.social IRL from September 2023 in DC. This never made the blog, but was a great time.
I was getting bugged only seeing pre-2016 photos of the team & wanted to amplify more of the current faces.

You might know us from the guides we have put together, like the de-risking guide and the UX guide. Governments all around the world have used them to make services more accessible and add more value to the public — all while saving millions of dollars. You can still find them here: 18f.org/guides/

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people:
