The USTechForce initiative is a step toward modernizing federal operations, but let’s not ignore the elephant in the room: decades of bureaucratic bloat. Previous administrations poured billions into "modernization" projects that vanished into IT black holes—Biden’s $10B "AI Moonshot" in 2023 delivered zero functional tools. This program’s $200K salaries for 1,000 recruits will cost taxpayers $200M annually.
Will it actually dismantle legacy systems, or just add layers to the swamp? Private partnerships with Apple and Amazon are smart, but real accountability means sunsetting failed agencies, not expanding payrolls.
The War Department’s 2024 audit found $46B in unaccounted IT spending—until that rot is cut, no amount of tech talent will fix systemic waste.
@skupor Great examples. Indeed, asking "why?" can make a difference. Reading this, I was reminded that even what to some may be small changes do add up!

@DOGE I can attest to the value and impact DML has made in our community and beyond. I hope when the dust settles support from our government agencies will join in not only funding DML but help others learn how to replicate their model.
The value of engaging community pharmacist in disaster preparedness plans couldn't be clearer. Jeff was interviewed on CNN yesterday and Fox this morning. Think... consider your community's preparedness & response efforts and involve your pharmacists.

I remain open to those who choose dialogue and speak out against those using innocents as shields for their aggression. Yet wonder how the media remains unable to clearly place the blame on the terrorist groups and their backers not just in passing but with clarity & conviction!

@tedcruz Always amazing that they demonstrate with their faces and identifying characteristics concealed. Like they really don't want to be identified as peaceful protesters. Did you try to have a conversation with them?
