Amy Gleason, the acting administrator of the U.S. DOGE Service, isn't a household name. But as Elon Musk’s effort to dramatically reduce the federal government faces legal challenges, the nurse-turned-programmer has been thrust into the spotlight.
The whole situation is absurd. She’s officially the admin, but Trump keeps saying Musk is in charge, Musk keeps saying he’s NOT in charge, and her appointment is likely a smokescreen so they have someone to throw under the bus when the lawsuits come rolling in.
That’s why “may or may not”. She’s the admin until legally tested, because the administration can’t actually even bother to lie well.

It’s already super effective. Already one reply in this thread calling for her head.
