People who are very vocal about their "faith" tend not to be virtuous people extolling the reason for their virtues, but nefarious people seeking to camouflage their immorality.

If we will never be a Socialist [sic] or Communist [sic] Country [sic], then why are you giving billions of dollars to farmers to make up for losses from your stupid tariffs (SOCIALISM) and having the US government own part of Intel (COMMUNISM)?

We have some news to share with you. 🥄
Today we took legal action to challenge our termination, filing an appeal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board. We did this because we believe the elimination of 18F violated safeguards that exist to protect a nonpartisan civil service.

This week the Republican-led House passed a $5.8T Spending Plan that is mostly a Tax Cut Bonanza for Billionaires on the backs of the Sick, the Poor, School Aged Children and hardworking American Civil Servants.
Great job Trump, MAGA and Republicans!

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

The administration got rid of 18F under the cover of night. People who own skyscrapers are afraid of 100 people who make websites.
Not because of the latest tech fad, but because we proved the government can be fixed, the government can be made better and the government can work for the people.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

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:
