Washington, D.C. – Today, President Trump signed into law the Foundations for Evidence-Based Policymaking (FEBP) Act (H.R. 4174, S. 2046), which includes the Open, Public, Electronic and Necessary (OPEN) Government Data Act (Title II). The package passed Congress on Monday, December 31, 2018.

The OPEN Government Data Act requires all non-sensitive government data to be made available in open and machine-readable formats by default. It establishes Chief Data Officers (CDO) at federal agencies, as well as a CDO Council.

OPEN Government Data Act passes.

The OPEN Government Data Act will ensure that the federal government releases valuable data sets, follows best practices in data management, and commits to making data available to the public in a non-proprietary and electronic format.

    he's been spouting Kremlin propaganda...shit that nobody outside of the Kremlin would ever say. Especially that recent crap about how the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan because of terrorism and was right to do so!

    Source?

      THANK you! Was just about to reply to this myself. Clearly AC is trying to prove my point about willful ignorance! That insane shit about Afghanistan is just one example too. All the anti-NATO crap and the bizarre statements about Montenegro were mind-boggling as well. Never mind the fact that Trump has just plain always been way up Putin's ass when the rest of the world knows the guy's pure fucking evil. Yes...Trump is the source indeed.

          Seriously? That was a classic example of Soviet aggression and they were pretty much ready to exterminate everyone in the country to accomplish that goal. The ONLY people on planet earth framing that one as some sort of justified "war on terror" consist of the Putin, the Kremlin, and apparently Donald Trump. That's more than just getting "the history of the ussr and afghanistan wrong". Anyone who's not offended by that, and who doesn't question where he's getting those talking points is dangerously ignorant.

          I mean fuck me! What does it take for this asshole to fall out of favor with everyone?
