Under the #FormerPresidentsAct, the federal #GSA provides #funding for post-presidential offices, including #money to pay #staff. There are reasons — including security — that some ex-presidents choose to shine less light on their offices….

What stands out about this suite is that it has played a little-noticed role in Trump’s affairs….

It has apparently housed #classified material

"“The failure is on [#OMB Deputy Director for Management] Jason Miller, [#USDS Administrator] Mina Hsiang, [#GSA Administrator] Robin Carnahan. It’s the truth. If they don’t align and start executing, then Congress should be calling them up and asking them hard questions,” a senior federal IT official told FedScoop." https://fedscoop.com/top-biden-tech-priorities-stalled-by-misalignment-between-federal-it-teams/

A 'Waiting to Happen' flyer at the junction of Victoria Bridge on Gorbals St and Clyde St. Emma Burke Newman was killed in January when cycling from her home in the southside to #GlasgowSchoolOfArt #GSA This initiative by her friends will collect data and anecdotes to present to #GlasgowCityCouncil to inform better street and junction design.
If you travel through this part of town, please complete the survey and boost this toot.

MTG admits to reproduction of SCIF documents. Certainly a policy violation. Possibly a federal crime.

I anticipate that there will be a set of commercial identity broker and identity verification service providers who are gong to come out with some variation of a narrative that .gov should not be trusted to run a shared service.

My perspective is that this news is a clear demonstration of exactly why .gov should run these types of services -- because of the #Accountability, #Oversight and #Transparency that is baked in!

Who manages the Login.gov service?

GSA

Who identified the issues?

GSA OGC

Who had the ability to independently investigate the issues?

GSA IG!

Who did the complete investigation?

GSA IG!

Who published the full report on the investigation and held people accountable?

GSA IG!

Who recommended the specific corrective actions that was accepted by the Agency leadership?

GSA IG!

I see this as a clear example of the independent checks and balances set up w/in agencies working .. and working well.

Additionally, very impressed with the GSA IG folks who did this investigation ... The report clearly indicates their *technical understanding* of the domain as well as their understanding of the *policy implications*

Can you show me an example in the private sector where an organization self-identified the problem, and corrected it with this degree of transparency and accountability?

2. The General Services Administration should publish data on #Section508 compliance.
#GSA gathers and analyzes data on Section 508 compliance twice a year but does not
release it to the public or Congress. Releasing these data publicly will improve #transparency and accountability regarding Section 508 compliance
