Summary
Amy Gleason, a health tech expert who worked on Trump’s pandemic response, is now acting administrator of DOGE, though her authority remains unclear amid disputes over the agency’s true leader.
A federal judge questioned whether Musk’s role violates the Constitution’s appointments clause, forcing the Trump administration to abruptly confirm Gleason’s appointment after weeks of evasion. Yet Trump continues to publicly acknowledge Elon Musk as DOGE’s head.
Gleason, who founded the failed health tech company CareSync and later worked at the US Digital Service, has no prior ties to Musk but joined Trump’s transition team in December 2024.
The placid smile of an idiot who doesn’t yet realize she’s the scapegoat.
She’ll absolutely try and grab a bag on the way out and took on this role willingly. Don’t feel any pity for her.
Seems like she might be good at keeping shit off of her. That, or she’s failing upwards. I guess we’ll find out!
