Summary
The White House has named Amy Gleason as the acting administrator of DOGE, ending weeks of speculation.
Gleason, a former Obama-era “Champion of Change” and digital services expert, previously worked in Trump’s and Biden’s administrations. However, her appointment raises legal concerns since she has not been confirmed by the Senate.
Critics argue she is a figurehead while Elon Musk, whom Trump publicly put “in charge” of DOGE, wields real power.
Lawsuits challenging DOGE’s authority continue as Musk prepares for Trump’s Cabinet meeting.
Republicans enact cruel and stupid policy.
Democrats refuse to reform cruel & stupid policy because it benefits their backers. In fact, Dems may even brag about how THEY are even better at it.
Cruel & stupid policy predictably backfires - and gets blamed on Democrats who pretend they had no control over anything.
What I suspect is happening is that Trump is attempting to give Democrats an opportunity to get in on DOGE while it still polls well.
