Good service design is not about shiny websites — it’s about giving people options, like filing retirement and disability claims over the phone. If DOGE had succeeded, they would have prevented Americans from accessing the benefits they deserve.

Congress is gearing up to cut hundreds of billions in funding for Medicaid. It’s happening right under our noses, and our rights depend on our ability to stop it.

Your tax dollars are paying for the richest man in the world to fly around when he has his own jets.
🚨 BREAKING: This is beyond outrageous. Elon Musk, his cranky mother Maye, and one of his young kids were chauffeured in Air Force One and Marine One—straight to the White House, where they’re apparently staying.
WTF is going on? It goes without saying, this is not normal. 🙄

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
