I decided to give the National Design Studio its own page, so I could better track all the 1-page websites they've created dogetrack.info/agencies/nds/
National Design Studio
In August, EO 14338 created the National Design Studio, with DOGE member Joe Gebbia subsequently named Chief Design Officer. Is this really something new or just the old DOGE playbook under a new name...

If “AI” did the thing, organizations would be bragging about the outcomes instead of jawing endlessly about the tools.

The night after the murder of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic legislator in Minnesota, the Yankees were at the Red Sox and neither team requested a moment of silence.
For an actual public servant.
Who we choose to hold a moment of silence for and who we do not are silences that speak volumes.

Treasury is required to produce a report to Congress related to Direct File, the free tax filing option that the current administration intends to kill. They've created a survey with a bunch of leading questions. The survey deserves some responses supportive of the program to counteract its framing:

The Trump administration is "creating first-class online and offline experiences for Americans"
This is near-Orwellian language. The administration has flushed a decade of online design experience down the drain. They fired and pushed out best designers I've ever worked with in my entire career.
