1/ I am one of the founding members of the 1st agency-level team of USDS. I disagree that the mission of DOGE is similar to that of the Digital Service. It sounds similar on the surface, but there are a couple of fundamental differences. Quick 🧵 rollcall.com/2025/02/04/w...

Thinking a lot about the Babylonian exile today, when the Judeans were forcibly relocated to Babylonia by the Neo-Babylonian Empire.

I’m a sucker for a good interjection. Like “Gadzooks!” or “Great Caesar’s Ghost!” Christ on a cracker! Oh, my Stars and Garters! Something that captures the current zeitgeist. Going to start using “Eggs and emails.”
