Since January 20th, @USGSA
has been working to right size the federal real estate portfolio, which is liable for more than $20+ billion in deferred maintenance. So far, the team has sold 13 buildings and listed an additional 68 (8.3M square feet).

As an example, @USGSA
sold a vacant building in Ogden, UT for $3.6M (also saving $20M+ in deferred maintenance) to the City of Ogden. The city is partnering with a private developer to provide the necessary improvements in order to make the asset useful.

On the http://IRS.gov website, the "log in" button was not in the top right on the navbar like it is on most websites. It was weirdly placed in the middle of the page below the fold.

An IRS engineer explained that the *soonest* this change could get deployed is July 21st... 103 days from now.

This engineer worked with the DOGE team to delete the red tape and accomplished the task in 71 minutes. See before/after pictures below.

There are great people at the IRS, who are simply being strangled by bureaucracy.
