This is not an April Fools post, but it does feature an amazing April. Plus, becoming a serious country again, and what AI will do for intergovernmental software collaboratives.
Thank you for mentioning We the Doers! April Harding, Maureen Klovers and Dana Fowler are doing amazing work! There are quite a few of us public servants who are passionate about making government work well and have the deep experience to diagnose the problems and chart out the strategies and actions to fix them.
The ca water data collab has a $420k stormwater software tool in development using ai to accelerate distributed small to medium water recharge projects from planning to implementation (permitting, site selection, prioritization, order of magnitude roi etc). Called DROPs and funded by six munis / utilities

Thank you for elevating @Kevin Hawickhorst’s article from American Affairs. Coincidentally, @Andrea Delgado and I just wrote a piece a couple weeks ago on entomologists at USDA: https://bkprospectpartners.substack.com/p/eyes-wide-shut-how-doge-cuts-to-scientific?r=7ishe2
Incredible, thanks for sharing that.
