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.
Your voting record is clear!
❌ you voted you protect Stacey Plaskett after conspiring with Epstein.
❌ you voted protect Bill Clinton from being transparent about Epstein.
❌ you voted protect Hilary Clinton from being transparent about Epstein.
You are a fraud and should be ashamed of your hypocrisy! And I hope VA10 wakes up from your partisan politics on this issue
Wake up VA10!!! We deserve better!!!
I’ll reserve comments on Rocovich’s dismissal from the VT board until more information comes out, but I think it’s notable that three key people that were a part of Franklin’s hiring have all been let go in just over a six month span.
Abigail Spanberger has time to exact political retribution on university board members, but can’t manage to get her own party to pass a budget.
Priorities…
This Jaxson Dart story is so blown out of proportion…
LeBron didn’t have to have a team meeting after speaking at a Hilary Clinton rally.
Steph Curry didn’t have to address speaking at the DNC.
Dart is being vilified more than every Democrat athlete activist COMBINED
@TheJayBee These are all false accusations. John is a man of integrity and humility, and has spent his entire life helping the community, 4-H, and Virginia Tech. Spanberger is a liar
💵The man @GovernorVA chose to take over personally donated $5k to her.
💵Dominion donated $100k to Spanberger while he was an Executive VP there.
Follow the money.
BREAKING: 7News has learned that an illegal immigrant, who had prior charges for rape, was released back in Virginia before he sexually assaulted a woman in Arlington.

@therealdcunna This is purely political to allow her to influence the next appointment of President, Athletic Director, Rector and Vice Rector. Really convenient timing. Hopefully its proven Rocovich did nothing wrong and drives another stake in her reputation but the damage to VT will be done
