Inter alia, the USDS was notable for streamlining and fixing portions of the VA, Medicaid, and refugee processing systems. Those changes improved (and probably outright saved) large numbers of lives; it seems extremely callous to cast that aside.

The point is that the idea that this organization existing was an unqualified good thing is a matter of opinion, not fact. You’re allowed to have that opinion, but presenting it as fact is the part that I have an issue with.
