Thanks to Senator @TomCoburnMD, @POTUS44 @BarackObama & Congress, @USASpending exists & publishes open data about contracts, grants, awards, & federal spending.

@USTreasury runs @FiscalService, which makes debt, revenue, spending, & big-picture trends transparent.

"This #SunshineWeek, I want to recognize the efforts of each & every FOIA professional across the government."– Stanley E. Woodward, Associate Attorney General, @TheJusticeDept
"Our FOIA professionals are the unsung heroes of democracy, and we honor them today.”

We've been @OpenGov since @USNatArchives archived @OpenGov44 in 2017, tweeting about government transparency, accountability, participation, & collaboration as a @WhiteHouse45 or @WhiteHouse46 official committed to #OpenGov would have.

We continue to do so for this @WhiteHouse.

Transparency saves lives & prevents unnecessary deaths & disabilities in a public health emergency, like a pandemic. When governments & health care systems collaborate using plain language, #OpenData, & accessible, interoperable digital services, public health benefits.

Knowledge is power.
Public records belong to the public.
Access to information is a human right.
Freedom of information laws codify our right to know in a democracy.
Transparency is necessary for accountability.
Open government is good government!
Happy #SunshineWeek!
