One of the problems we have in public policy is that wonks don’t give any consideration to how their ideas will collide with actual human behavior. Take our Trump Accounts. There are millions of parents who will in theory benefit enormously from this investment in their kids’ future, but the policy does no good if parents never find out how to sign up for it.
From day one of our administration we’ve tried to think outside the box on problems like this. That’s why Elon recruited the best and brightest engineers and designers to help us make government more efficient. Some of those same exceptional design and software talents, under @jgebbia’s leadership, have been working for months at National Design Studio on a different problem: making government programs like the Trump Accounts more user friendly.
With the Trump Accounts we’ve met people where they are. Instead of expecting them to navigate a ton of complicated forms on https://t.co/4MbCJUKklg, we’ve built out a simple, easy-to-use app to sign parents up. The app helps us market the program and sign up users, and deploying it this early does something else: it gives our engineers a pilot program to test out Treasury’s digital back-end systems and iron out kinks in advance of the delivery of the funds later this summer. So, parents, sign up now, and help us invest in your kids for tomorrow.
Because great policy only works when people can actually use it. That is the power of design. When government is easier to understand, easier to navigate, and easier to trust, people benefit. The American experience should be as great as the American promise.
Today, we remember a legend.
On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.
He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.
Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.
I feel the need to speak out about this. As a psychiatrist, I have worked with this population of homeless people, who abuse drugs, in the past. I tried my best and worked very hard to help. Spencer Pratt is 100% correct. The reality is that 95%+ of homeless people are violent drug addicts who do not want help. It is great to be compassionate, but it is harmful to hard-working people to be stupid and allow the issue to continue. They do not need beds. They need mandatory treatment and to be locked away in a treatment center or jail!

@ZacharyLevi You are such a good man! Our family adores you and appreciates you standing for God and the institution of family. Keep fighting the good fight!
Any Christian who votes democrat again is a fool. They’re showing people that it’s ok to disrupt a church during worship. This is how they truly feel about you. The veil is lifted. No morals. No integrity. It’s not enough for them to have an opinion, they’ve escalated to physical intrusion of places of worship. The demons inside of them are so bothered. All the time.

“The Family: A Proclamation to the World” states, “The family is ordained of God.” I love the clarity of that statement.
The Family Proclamation is a call for us to live in mortality, ever mindful of the divinity within us, and the eternal future that lies before us.
The principles are not out of step—but perfectly in step with the ways of the Lord and His covenant path.
The teachings of the Proclamation were revealed by our Lord Jesus Christ to His Apostles then and now. This is His Church; He has established the truths by which we live.
Our Father in Heaven has provided this proclamation to help guide us home to Him, to help us learn and be filled with love, strength, purpose, and eternal understanding. #GeneralConference #HearHim
