On World Refugee Day, the United States reaffirms its commitment to the dignity and protection of refugees worldwide.
Here at home, we’re proud to have rebuilt the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and will resettle more refugees this year than at any time in 30 years.

I wrote about Direct File—a new site that is the government's answer to TurboTax. It's way better than you might think. theatlantic.com/technology/a…

On World Refugee Day, we honor the bravery of millions of refugees forced to flee violence and persecution.
Welcoming refugees is part of who we are. When we take action to help refugees, and include them, we honor America’s highest values and are stronger for it.

Over my years in the public and private sectors, I've had people tell me: If only the government could work like business.
Well, the team at @USEdgov and @USDS built a Student Loan Forgiveness portal that processed 8 MILLION applications in the first 30 hours without a crash.

Gaze not into the abyss, lest you become recognized as an abyss domain expert, and they expect you keep gazing into the damn thing.
It’s been more than a decade so I guess it’s time for #NewProfilePic. This one was taken by @koop on a foggy street in San Francisco.

I love how everyone in tech is picking apart the new whitehouse.gov site and literally every comment I’ve seen is positive. I’m feeling x-build-back-better header indeed!
Some professional news… I spent the last few months working on the Biden-Harris Transition Team. It was an incredible and humbling experience helping to prepare an administration inheriting many dire crises. A thread.
I promised I would blog more when I left @USDS, but the truth is I have just never really been in a position to be allowed to say a lot about my work. I do have a lot of stories to tell, but a fun fact: I never worked on a single WordPress site in my 4+ years in government.
There’s definitely WordPress in government. It’s just not what powers any of the 30 interconnected systems that probably cost $500 million and are decades old and weren’t built with users in mind and make it harder for the government to provide healthcare or economic relief.
