We Finally Know Who's (Supposedly) Running DOGE
It's Amy Gleason.
Does she know that, though?
Will there come a time when even our Usual Suspects have had enough of President Musk's crap?
Probably not. They LOVE President Musk's crap.

According to a report from Semafor (and confirmed by government sources at numerous outlets), Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of DOGE. Which raises a new question: Who is Amy Gleason?
Gleason, who lists herself on LinkedIn as a "Senior Advisor" at the United States Digital Service—the agency that was reorganized to serve as DOGE—is a healthcare executive who co-founded a no-longer operational telehealth company called CareSync and served as the Chief Product Officer at rural healthcare provider Main Street Health. Gleason previously served as a "Digital Services Expert" at the United States Digital Service under both the first Trump administration and the start of the Biden years, where she reportedly "led the creation of the national COVID database and products that used that data to drive the federal response."
Interestingly, Gleason was also previously recognized by the Obama administration as a "Champion of Change" for her work improving healthcare technology, including digitizing medical records. She also served as the Vice President of Research at the Cure JM Foundation, a non-profit that seeks to research and support children and families who suffer from Juvenile Myositis.
She seems like a somewhat unconventional but, by Trump administration standards at least, quite reasonable pick to help operate an agency that she already has experience working within. But like…does she actually run the agency, though? Not a shot at her, just genuinely wondering because her name was kept under wraps like it was a state secret until today.
Per CBS News, when its reporters reached out to Gleason on Tuesday, she said that she was in Mexico. Is she working remotely? Is Elon cool with that? Because there's kinda been a whole thing with DOGE and forcing government employees to return to office. What'd she put in that email asking for five things she accomplished last week? And if she's running DOGE, does Elon work for her?
Again, nothing against Gleason personally here. It's just that as of yesterday, lawyers at the Department of Justice quite literally told a federal judge that they do not know anything about who runs DOGE. The same DOJ refused to name the agency's head in federal court filings earlier this month. And when asked directly by the press who was serving as DOGE administrator earlier today, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt gave a whole "Who's On First" ass response, refusing to give an actual name.
So Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of DOGE. Sure. I'd be curious to know what she put in her email identifying five things she accomplished last week.
Whatever
So... we have an unelected asshole with access to all of YOUR information... and who is fine with hiding behind... Amy Gleason???
These people are an embarrassment to all of us.
We've had a large army of those for decades.
400,000 tax Returns were stolen by a Biden irs employee and given to a left wing activist website. The Biden DOJ somehow completely undercharged the thief. Progressives didn’t care.
but oh noes…Elon musk
Biden also gave college interns at the IRS access to all your IRS information.. But Musk!

Exactly. One count for 400,000 leaks. A nice gift from the Biden DOJ.
As the Judge said, "The fact that he did what he did and he’s facing one felony count, I have no words for."
Just like in the Hunter Biden case , the Biden DOJ left a judges speechless due to its conduct favoring Biden friendly criminals.
No, it’s one leak affecting 400,000 people. Depending on the circumstances, one act of a thing like this commonly gets charged as one count. He did get 5 years for it, which is more than some people get for 34 counts. Would you like him to serve 2 million years?
Thanks, the judge who was actually aware of the circumstances is the one who was shocked it was one count. But thanks for your insight.
hich is more than some people get for 34 counts.
Yeah, 34 counts for one NDA, one count for 400,000 plus leaked records. Great comparison.
Would you like him to serve 2 million years?
You are on fire. The only possible options are 5 years or 2 million. More great insight.
A trip to be close to the Gulf of America?
Well, obviously one of the important five things (if not actually being the single most important thing) she accomplished is...being mentioned here on NT!
For not only does NT amuse and entertain ... (as well as turn a gray day into one of sunshine) but we shouldn't underestinate the power of these here posts to bring a ray of sunshine into an otherwise gloomy-- and I dare say often despondent-- world!)
The scapegoat emerges!
Apparently she couldn't be reached by the media for comments because she was in Mexico. Probably on a recommended vacation.
Either that-- or negotiating the fate of possible tariffs on Mexicans and others who live near or at the Gulf of Montezuma!
Sounds like Elon's days are numbered, not a bad thing seeing his trope troup really sucks at math.
It like we’re living in a sitcom. They dressed up a minor character in disguise and told her to pretend to be the boss.
And hilarity ensues!
