Trump Dismantles 18F Team Harming Government Efficiency (more: 18f.org): Save Them

The reckless dismantling of 18F (18f.org) is yet another example of this administration’s attack on efficiency, transparency, and modern governance. 18F has been a critical force in making government technology accessible, functional, and secure for the American people. By gutting this agency, the administration is not saving money—it’s setting the federal government back decades in technology and forcing agencies to rely on costly, inefficient private contractors. This short-sighted move will only lead to higher costs, more bureaucracy, and a government that is less capable of serving its citizens. Elon Musk and the Trump administration are dismantling functional government institutions under the guise of cost-cutting, but in reality, they are weakening our nation’s ability to function effectively. 18F was created to solve inefficiencies and improve public services, yet it is being sacrificed to a political agenda that prioritizes power over the public good. The stories shared on 18F’s website (18f.org) highlight the essential role they play in modernizing government operations. This is government sabotage, and it must stop. I urge you to take action to protect vital agencies like 18F before the damage becomes irreversible.
