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.

    There’s always hope…

    What we hope for will change, and how difficult it will be to get that will change.

    But there’s literally always hope. It’s why fascists spend the majority of their time telling people there’s no hope.

    If there was no point in us fighting back, they’d encourage it because it would be funny to them to see us fail. That’s the type of people they are.

    Literally everything Elmo and Trump did with the “fork” was designed to convince federal employees there was no hope so they should take the fork…

    If they could just fire the federal employees that wanted to, they wouldn’t have offered 7 months pay and benefits for resigning
