Who Really Runnin’ DOGE? Feds Finally Put a Name on It
Aight, so after weeks of folks wonderin’ who actually callin’ shots over at the US DOGE Service, the White House finally dropped a name—Amy Gleason. She the acting administrator, at least for now. But don’t let that fool you, ‘cause up ‘til now, the White House been duckin’ questions left and right ‘bout who really got the power in this Musk-led operation.
Wait, Ain’t This Musk’s Thing?
Elon Musk been out here actin’ like he big boss of DOGE, makin’ moves and tweetin’ like he run the government. But the White House stay sayin’ he ain’t an official fed, just a “special government employee.” In other words, he in the mix, but he ain’t really in charge—or at least that’s what they want folks to believe.
Who is Amy Gleason?
Gleason ain’t new to the game. She got a tech and healthcare background, used to work at the US Digital Service(shoutout to Obama for that one), and even played a role in the White House’s Covid-19 response team under Trump. Basically, she been movin’ through different administrations, keepin’ a low profile but makin’ moves.
Feds Lookin’ Lost in Court
The government so disorganized with this DOGE mess that when a judge straight-up asked, “Who in charge?”, nobody from the Justice Department could even answer. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly was not havin’ it—she straight-up said the confusion makin’ it hard to even handle legal cases tied to DOGE, especially since they got access to sensitive Treasury data.
Like, how y’all lettin’ a whole department run wild with no clear leader? Soundin’ real shady.
Gleason Stayin’ Lowkey
Turns out, Gleason already ran an all-staff meeting last week in DC, but she ain’t even announce she was the new boss. Just hit folks with the generic “We movin’ forward, y’all projects still matter” speech and kept it pushin’. Some folks peeped she was in charge but ain’t ask no questions—probably ‘cause they ain’t know if she really had the authority like that.
One government worker who done worked with her before said she don’t do all that extra talkin’—she just get straight to business. That might be what DOGE need, ‘cause right now, the whole operation lookin’ messy.
So, What’s Next?
For now, Gleason’s name on the paperwork, but ain’t nobody sayin’ how long she stayin’ in that seat. With Musk still playin’ puppet master, the White House actin’ shady, and the courts askin’ all the right questions, best believe this story ain’t over. Stay tuned.
