Your tax day reminder that Intuit and H&R Block spent a combined $79 MILLION since 1998 on lobbying to stop the IRS from providing a free, easy-to-use file option.

We'll start by interviewing people who have recently gone through these experiences to identify priority changes needed to save time and worry. Ultimately, our efforts are centered on the idea that the government is here to make peoples' lives easier. 3/3

If your state advertises SNAP, you lose farm bill funding. If legal drinking age is not 21, you lose highway funds. Do the same thing for state gun control regs - tie some big critical Federal funding to it (in addition to nat’l laws, bc some will be state dependent)

Tell me you’re late to the party without telling me you’re late to the party. But, these are good summaries: “What we have is a government that is extremely good at making building difficult... The problem isn’t government. It’s our government.” nytimes.com/2022/05/29/opi…

Last week, Girl Scouts of the USA posthumously bestowed upon Amerie Jo Garza, 10, of Uvalde, Texas, one of the highest honors in Girl Scouting: the Bronze Cross. The Bronze Cross is awarded for saving or attempting to save life at the risk of the Girl Scout’s own life. 1/3

We’re hitting every bureaucratic nerve that exists, but we’re taking on the thorniest problems. So inspired by the teams that together today get to announce 9 pilot projects resulting from talking to more than 500 people about their experiences: whitehouse.gov/omb/briefing-r…

Too often, Americans are forced to navigate a tangled web of Government websites, offices, and phone numbers to access the services they depend on at critical moments in their lives. Today, OMB is announcing 9 new projects to streamline service delivery for the American people.

I’ve never made a political social media post in my life, and I’m 100% comfortable posting this. It’s not political. I’m posting it because my wife is a teacher. And because we have 2 school-aged kids. And because I’m proud to work with @CoachBrentKey and call him a friend.

If you ever doubt the US Federal govt, watch these videos of the amazing people doing incredible work to make this country better for all of us. I am grateful every day they chose service. Happy #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek #GovPossible performance.gov/blog/2023-govp…

“A million and two” is my official estimate

Last week, OMB Deputy Director Jason Miller visited @CBWWatlanta to learn more about their work piloting the Administration’s "Benefits Bundle" project to connect new moms with housing, nutrition, and health services in their community.

Americans deserve a government that delivers for them. Two years ago, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order directing a whole-of-government effort to improve government customer experience. The Administration has made major progress so far—with more to come. performance.gov/cx/executive-o…
